The hub is the mechanical core of a wheel, but it is also one of the least visible components for the cyclist. With its Infinity Hub platform, Mavic offers a hub design designed to ensure homogeneous beam tension, quiet operation and easy maintenance. This hub equips all of the current Ksyrium range and some carbon wheels. This is what distinguishes him.
The freewheel body is the mechanism that transmits pedaling effort from the cyclist to the rear wheel. Mavic has developed its own system, called Instant Drive 360 (ID360), which now equips all of its road range from Ksyrium S to Cosmic Ultimate 45. This ratchet mechanism demands rapid engagement, reduced friction and simplified maintenance. Here is its detailed operation.
In Mavic, the connection between the rays and the carbon rim does not involve a conventional drilling. Fore Carbon technology uses metal inserts drowned in carbon during moulding, allowing the upper deck of the rim to be completely intact. This system can be found on the flagship models of the range, including Cosmic Ultimate 45, Cosmic SLR 45 and Cosmic SL. This article details the operation of Fore Carbon and its concrete consequences on the rigidity, sealing and weight of the wheel.
