Antique wheels where made of wood with spokes working in compression. The second generation appeared in the 19th century with drawn steel spokes working in traction. The revolutionary 3rd generation of wheels from Mavic features tubular carbon spokes working both in traction and in compression. Benefit: Lighter AND Stiffer.
- Stiff to transform all of your power into pure speed
- TracompTM technology prevents lost of tension on spokes to maintain high stiffness under high loads
- Maximized rear wheel dish increases lateral stiffness
- Carbon spokes don't stretch as much as steel or aluminum which limit wheel distortion
- Light for instant acceleration
- Carbone spokes are lighter than their alloy counterpart
- Low stress wheels allows extra light rim extrusion and maximized ISM* to reduce inertia. (*ISM: Inter Spoke Milling)
- Tracomp technology allows a decrease of spoke tension to lower stresses on wheel element
- Mavic's experience: same required durability as any other Mavic wheels
- Weight (ED10): 1355 g per pair (47.79 oz)
