Designed with features and technologies that are typically reserved for premium race wheels, Aksium delivers quality performance for everyday road riding.

Features include straight-pull spokes for added strength and stiffness, and lightweight rims for a lively ride quality. The rims are now wider, which allows for increased air volume and a better fit for larger diameter tyres (up to 32mm).

The hubs are incredibly tough, delivering high mileage and long-lasting dependability. And the QRM bearings are the smoothest in the category. It all adds up to a wheelset that delivers the high-quality ride that Mavic is known for.

Key Technology:

• FTS-L freewheel technology: Force Transfer System Light. Reinforcement of key transmission components. The contact area between the pawl and the hub body is reinforced by 2 stainless steel inserts, which allows the use of a 100% aluminium hub body.

• QRM Auto bearing preload technology: The cartridge bearings are of course double sealed with C3 internal clearance. Their preload is automatically adjusted to guarantee a perfect spin with no play in the long run.
