| From REI:These new Mavic R-Sys wheels are extremely light and strong and are the first to use TraComp™ technology. - Tubular carbon fiber clamped spokes create lighter, stiffer wheels than their alloy counterparts and transform all of your power into pure speed
- Tubular spokes are fitted between the rim and the hub where they work under traction and compression
- Under normal forces, wheel deformation is limited by the very high traction resistance of the tubular spokes
- And in the event of a greater force, the spokes won't slacken and are able to work under compression to limit wheel deformation as well
- Low-stress wheels allow extra light rim extrusion and maximized Inter Spoke Milling to reduce inertia
- Only one rim wall is drilled which reduces stress fatigue and increases rigidity to allow increased energy transfer
- Maximized rear wheel dish increases lateral stiffness
- FTS-L free wheel system provides a robust and lightweight hub, and allows all the torque at the free wheel to be transmitted to the hub
- Removable sealed cartridge bearings are easily maintained; they're micro adjustable for matching various riding conditions
- A Mavic exclusive, Maxtal aluminum is 30% stronger than 6061 aluminum, resulting in lighter, livelier rims
- Rim joints are welded and milled to eliminate shuddering during braking and provide superior wheel balance
- Milled braking surfaces improve braking friction and eliminate shuddering
- Includes two padded wheel bags; bag features an inside zippered pocket and handles
