Mavic Crossmax 2016 : Wheels, Kit, Hydration Pack

/

[ad3]

Today Mavic officially release their new Crossmax line.  There was an emphasis on the fact that the Crossmax name bridges across many and they emphasized that it embodies not just durability, but performance.  In the new lineup is a Revamped Crossmax XL and SL wheelset and tire system as well as a new kit and a Hydration pack.

We had a special opportunity to have an advanced preview of the Mavic Crossmax lineup this week at their new US location in California.  While we had just one great ride on the whole system, we will keep you posted with some long term reviews on the products in the future.  We were most impressed with the Crossmax wheelsystem.  Our early impressions were that the Crossmax XL wheels were the most lively and responsive non carbon wheels we’ve ridden.   The spoke count increases to 24 and the rim width increases slightly as well.

The tires were fast rolling and grippy in the variety of terrain we rode them in.  Also worth noting was the hydration pack.  It was one of the first bags we’ve used that managed to keep our water cool…even in the southern California heat after a few hours of riding.  It wasn’t very noticeable on the bike and kept us nearly as cool as the water inside.  Impressive.  Full outline of the 2016 lineup is below.
