Description
The trail is adventure, strong emotions, pleasure. The exploration of wild places and pleasant paths. To get the most out of every ride, you need to be able to rely on your hardware. This is particularly true for your wheels, as their role is essential in the general feeling of your practice. That’s where the new Crossmax XL comes in, the best aluminum trail wheel we’ve ever made.
The manufacture of the rims uses our Fore technology, including a completely sealed upper bridge, which makes it possible to dispense with the rim tape. Each wheel thus weighs 30 grams less, and saves the cyclist this tedious operation before installing a tubeless tire. The internal width of the rim, 30 mm, is ideal for optimizing the performance of all modern trail tires. Its very resistant triangular profile is specially designed to absorb the shocks of the terrain. Our Black Shield technology gives it a unique finish, which guarantees its protection against scratches and abrasion.
To achieve the delicate balance between lateral stiffness and vertical compliance, we use 24 straight pull spokes. The hubs benefit from a stiffer and lighter structure, further improved by the ID360 double ratchet system with quick engagement, of great reliability. This wheelset is designed for 6-bolt or Center Lock brake rotors, and is compatible with SRAM-XD and Micro Spline freehub bodies. Available in 27.5” or 29”, it comes with UST Tubeless valves, spare spokes and accessories.
