Mavic

After extensive wind-tunnel testing, Mavic delivers the Cosmic Carbone 80, the choice of numerous Pro Tour squads and fast riders everywhere. The 80mm-deep carbon rim uses bladed steel spokes and their own Yksion tire to achieve one of the most aero wheels in the peloton. That tire is a 290-TPI polycotton tubular for sublime ride quality with serious durability. It uses a fast-rolling, long-wearing center tread with softer rubber infused with silica on the sides for excellent cornering grip. The wheel is silky smooth and stiff too. They feature Mavic's frictionless QRM+ hub for minimal rolling resistance and the FTS-L freehub for instant engagement and maximum power transfer. And of course, Mavic never sacrifices ride quality or weight for aerodynamics, so the CC80 accelerates like a shot and climbs better than most standard wheels out there.
