MEASURED VALUES


Rim width (inside) 22.6 mm


Weight² VR 791 g/HR 900 g/ges. 1691 g


Stiffness VR 63 N/mm / HR 64 N/mm


Inertia VR 415 kg x cm²/HR 422 kg x cm²

Spoke tension deviation fron. left: 8 %, fron. right: 11 %, hi. left: 11 %, hi. right: 5 %


Concentricity/centredness new condition (points/max. points) 6/10


Resistance to overload (points/max. points) 9/10


Conclusion Mavic continues to rely on fewer but thicker aluminium spokes combined with a slightly wider tubeless rim for the first time. Low spread in spoke tension, good stiffness, lots of accessories.


BIKE judgement³ SUPER (389)


¹QR stands for Quickrelease = normal quick release.
²Weight without quick release and including rim tape.
The BIKE judgement is independent of price. BIKE judgements: super (510-380 pts.), very good (379-330 pts.), good (329-280 pts.), satisfactory (279-230 pts.), with weaknesses (229-180 pts.), unsatisfactory.
