Special Features
: • FTS-L: Force Transfer System Light. The reinforcement of the key transmission components: Lighter hub, stronger hub, better torque transmission.
• H2: Hammer Hardening. Local strengthening of the rim in the area the spokes exert the greatest stress. This improves rim’s life expectancy and resistance to micro cracking.
• QRM: Qualité de Roulements Mavic. Mavic only uses high quality sealed cartridge bearings. On QRM wheels, they provide high durability thanks to double sealing (2RS or LLU) as well as high efficiency thanks to C3 internal clearance (low play, tight tolerances). • UB Control: Usiné Brut. The braking surfaces are micro-milled to improve braking friction and eliminate shuddering.
• Self Lock: The special shape of the spoke end, on the thread, makes it impossible to loosen. The spokes stay tightly screwed into the nipple, no tension loss is occurring. As a benefit, the wheel keeps its original roundness for a long time and does not get out of true.
