Date Reviewed: July 18, 2008 | | Favorite Trail: | Hurkey Creek Park(24hrs/Adrenalin course) | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$1000.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Light as a feather, at 1585 grams w/o valves; Eye-candy appeal has serious bling to it; Both Ti skewers weighed only 87 grams; Very stiff and responsive- you can FEEL the torque, on every turn of the cranks; you cannot help but go faster, on this wheelset; Bladed, straight-pull spokes are incredibly strong; I can go on and on- but I'll stop here... | | Weaknesses: | Cost as much as some performance car rims; Magnet setup for cyclocomputer, is a bit tricky; Rear freehub pawls are super-loud | | Similar Products Used: | Mavic X221/XC717/XM117; Bontrager Race X Lite Disc; Stan's NoTubes Olympic Disc | | Bike Setup: | 2005 Cannondale F2000 SL Optimo - Headshok DLR80; Thomson Masterpiece seatpost; Specialized Phenom SL saddle; Shimano XTR FD; Shimano Hollowtech II crankset; SRAM X-0 RD, twist shifters; Kenda Klimax Lite race tires; Ritchey WCS Carbon bars; Avid BB7 brakeset.....equals a 21-lb XC race monster | | Bottom Line: | I recently got hit by a car, riding my bike. Both Mavic XC717 disc rims were tacoed badly. It was the driver's fault....so I made sure she was going to pay for my new rims. The settlement was enough for a new bike- but my frame was actually OK. I went straight to the LBS the day I got the money and snatched the Crossmax SLR rims I have been drooling over, every time I visited the LBS. Despite being in pain- it felt great just buying those wheels.
My first impression once the wheels were mounted was.... WOW!!! These wheels accelerate like a 50hp motor was driving your rear wheels. Maintaining 25mph on the flats has never been easier. The huge reduction in rotating mass(in my case- was 1.2-lbs) results in pedaling ease even a 400lb man can accomplish with pleasure. Because of these wheels- my riding skills are well below the limits of my bike. It will be nothing but fun trying to catch-up!!!!
If you can afford them- this wheelset will bring your riding pleasure to an entirely new level. But be careful, these wheels are freeride/DH material. Get the Mavic Crossmax XL UST disc, or Mavic Deemax(the ultimate DH wheelset). My verdict? You simply cannot go wrong with Mavic's race pedigree. The world's best pros ride them- now YOU can too!!! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: August 25, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | any without cars | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$866.00 | | Purchased At: | Ebay | | Strengths: | Very light, laterally stiff, nice to look at. The front mavic lefty hub is stiffer, I run a 208mm front disk, and the old hub used to flex. | | Weaknesses: | None. Just noticed that the rear hub is noiser (racheting sound is louder) than old cannondale hub. Hopefully it will get quieter with use. | | Similar Products Used: | CrossMax UST 3.1 | | Bike Setup: | Cannondale Scalpel 1000, 2003, XO shifters, Juicy 7 carbons, etc etc | | Bottom Line: | Great Wheel, nice and light and stiff which makes them good for climbing.
My old set of mavics 3.1 ust's front wheel started to get loose and often after every ride so it was time for a rebuild or new wheels.
I'm limited due to lefty fork so I'm glad these come direct from the factory.
