Mavic Cosmic SLR 65 Carbon Disc Road Wheelset
Boasting a 100% carbon fibre rim construction, this road bike wheelset offers a superior strength to weight ratio for conquering every mile. Mavic has also kitted out this version with a 65mm deep profile for unbeatable aero efficiency and added stability in crosswinds. Offering faster acceleration and powerful braking performance, it uses the brand’s updated Infinity hub platform and comes purpose-built for disc brakes. Another highlight is its range of ride-enhancing technologies including UST tubeless-ready technology that delivers more speed, comfort and control in an easy to use tubeless system.
100% Carbon Fibre Road Wheelset
The Cosmic name has always been synonymous with speed and performance. This 65mm version for disc brakes is no exception, and it’s the fastest of the family when it comes to hammering the flats and in the wind.
65mm Rim Height
The 65mm deep airfoil rim slices through the wind with minimal drag, and its 26mm wide profile makes it highly stable in crosswind. It also uses Mavic’s patented elliptical spokes that save another 5 watts to maximize your efficiency.
UST Tubeless Ready
Another key factor in efficiency is rolling resistance, which Mavic addresses with its updated UST Road Tubeless system that makes it easier than ever to mount and change tyres. No tube means no friction, and more air volume means a smoother, faster ride. Exclusive Fore Carbon technology attaches the spokes to the rim without the need to drill the upper rim bed. With the updated rim bed shape, no tape is needed, eliminating any hassles and saving 30g per rim. Mavic further lowered the weight of the rim with a new laminate and local reinforcement.
Infinity Hub Platform
Mavic’s Infinity hub platform optimises spoke lacing and tension for maximum power transfer. The Instant Drive 360 freewheel, coupled with automatic bearing preload (QRM Auto), provides fast engagement, high stiffness and added durability. It’s available with Shimano or SRAM XD-Road driver bodies and converts to Campagnolo with an optional driver body (available separately). It’s compatible with 12×100 axle up front, and 12×142 rear, and can convert to Quick Release with supplied adaptors.
Centre Lock Disc Brake Ready
Keeping you in full control of the ride, the Mavic Cosmic SLR 65 Carbon Disc Road Wheelset comes complete with Centre Lock disc brake rotor mount compatibility. This makes it easy to fit your favourite hydraulic disc brakes and enjoy dependable braking performance and consistency on every mile.
