R-SYS Light and Stiff 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 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 Insant 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) ►Mavic's usual duability
_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 grams per pair front wheel: 570 grams rear wheel: 785 grams |
