Mavic Cosmic Ultimate 17

The best combination of light, stiff and aero, proven in the UCI World Tour by the world’s top road cyclists. This is the Bugatti Chiron of bike wheels.  Ultimate is not just a name, it’s the word we reserve for perfection. And it’s how we define this Wheel-Tire System. The Cosmic Ultimate was introduced 10 years ago and quickly became the wheel choice for pro racers seeking a competitive advantage. With a NACA-inspired 40mm deep, 25mm wide full-carbon tubular rim profile, 20 super-bladed spokes, and high, thin carbon hub flanges, it offers a clear and proven aero advantage. It’s also ultra-stiff thanks to the unidirectional carbon fiber spokes that don’t stretch. These spokes run continuously from one edge of the rim to the other through the hubs (R2R technology) creating one single spoke instead of two. This eliminates the need to mechanically attach the spokes to the hub. The rear rim is asymmetrical to improve the drive-side bracing angle, so spoke tension is balanced and the wheel stays stiff under the heaviest lateral loads such as sprints or attacks. The rim is made of 12k carbon fibers wrapped over a super rigid foam core. Full-carbon construction means the whole wheel is incredibly light at just 1250g. Our unique iTgMax technology delivers reliable and consistent braking perfomance in both wet and dry conditions. The system is delivered with Yksion Pro tubular tires, optimized for front and rear performance. The front uses GripLink with a tread pattern that improves water evacuation when leaning through corners and the rear offers minimum rolling resistance with grooves that release pressure on the ground but deliver plenty of traction in the rain thanks to the water evacuation channel. It’s no surprise the Cosmic Ultimate is pro’s choice for the most challenging World Tour races.   Unbeatable pro-level ride quality and stability 40mm deep and 25mm wide rims integrate perfectly with 25mm or wider tires NACA profile provide unbeatable crosswind stability Ultralight weight helps you climb, sprint and accelerate faster Rims, spokes and hubs feature a full carbon monobloc construction for minimum weight and maximum rigidity Incredibly light at only 1250g Stiffest wheel system in its class gives you sharp handling and maximum power transfer R2R full carbon spoke technology No spoke drilling, ensuring maximum rigidity and strength Asymmetrical rear rim profile for maxium power transfer    Rims Material: 3K carbon fibers Height: 40 mm Drilling: no holes, spokes molded to the rim Brake track: carbon with iTgMAX technology Valve hole diameter: 6.5 mm Tyre: tubular ETRTO size: 28" tubular Spokes Material: unidirectional carbon fiber Shape: R2R Nipples: steel, ABS Count: 20 front and rear Lacing: crossed 2 front and rear drive side, radial non drive side Hubs Hub bodies: Carbon Rear body: aluminum Axle material: aluminum Adjustable sealed cartridge bearings (QRM+) Freewheel: FTS-L steel Tyre Yksion Pro GripLink (front) & PowerLink (rear) Front and Rear Tread: Single Compound Casing: 210 TPI Breaker: Polyamide Dimension: 28"-25 Versions Color: Black only Compatibility Freewheel: Shimano/Sram, convertible to Campagnolo with optional driver body Front axle: Quick Release only Rear axle: Quick Release only Delivered with BR601 Titanium quick releases Carbon brake pads Multifonction adjustment wrench User guide Label SSC Intended use ASTM CATEGORY 1 : road only For a longer longevity of the wheel, Mavic recommends that the total weight supported by the wheels don't exceed 120kg, bike included Recommended tyre sizes: 23 to 32 mm Max.
