Cross-country racing places a multitude of demands on a wheelset. Want one that helps you climb with speed and efficiency, descend with greater control, and tackle rough terrain with confidence? The Crossmax SL S is a light alloy wheel that does it all.
Designed with a specific rim profile that combines a 25mm inner width and our proprietary ISM 4D technology, this wheelset can increase your bike''''s performance at an affordable price compared to carbon wheel options. The ISM 4D process machines the rim in areas with less stress to reduce weight without compromising strength. The rim also features our Black Shield technology, which protects against scratches and dents so you can tackle the tough demands of bumpy terrain and rough trails.
The rims are designed with our patented Fore technology, with a fully sealed top rim rim that does not require the use of rim tape. This saves 30 grams per wheel, not to mention the difficulties associated with rim tape when mounting tubeless tires. The new Infinity hub is lighter and features new spokes that increase stiffness for better power transmission, and the Instant Drive 360 dual ratchet freewheel provides fast engagement. The rear hub is compatible with optional Shimano HG9, Micro Spline and SRAM XD freehubs. The Crossmax SL S is available with Center Lock or 6-bolt brake rotors in 29" only. It is compatible with a 15x110 front axle and a 12x148 rear axle, and is supplied with valves, spare spokes and accessories.
MAIN FEATURES
Best-in-class set of XC alloy wheels
ISM 4D rim machining reduces weight to close the gap to carbon rims without compromising strength. The lighter rims result in super low inertia and instant acceleration.
Increased traction and durability
25mm wide flangeless rim profile optimized for lower tire pressure resulting in better grip in all conditions. Optimized for modern XC tubeless tires from 2.1 to 2.3". Black Shield treatment protects rims from impact and scratches.
The easiest tubeless system to use
Fore''''s fully sealed rimless rim technology makes tubeless tires easy to mount and change. The top rim of the rim remains intact, increasing the rim''''s stiffness and durability.
