Performance in DH racing and extreme freeride is a subtle compromise between strength and weight, lateral stiffness and vertical compliance, stability and maneuverability. The new Deemax found the sweet spot on all of those and will provide you with a sharp edge on your toughest competition. A totally new freehub design for faster engagement, a more compliant rim for better control and hundreds of grams lighter make this the best Deemax ever.

Fore
One wall of the rim is drilled with a tapered point with carbide that heats the alloy, and pushes it inside the rim. It creates a chimney that can then be threaded. The integrated M7 nipple can be screwed directly into this thread.

ISM - Inter Spoke Milling
Since the rim wall between each spoke hole is subjected to very little stress, it is possible to mill it to save weight. The rim is CNC machined, leaving just the necessary material to obtain the best weight/rigidity/durability ratio. A Mavic® multi-patented exclusive concept (US 6 402 256).

ITS4 - Instant Transfer System 4
The system works with 4 pawls, working 2 by 2 in order to provide a very fast engagement. Each pawl is energized by an individual spring, to reduce the risk of failure

Maxtal
Exclusive alloy developed specifically for Mavic by Pechiney Alcan Group, for rim manufacturing and optimizing alloy characteristics vs. that specific use.

QRM+ - Qualité Roulements Mavic® Plus
Sealed cartridge bearings including a specific high precision adjustment ring. Precisely adjusted to the hub, they participate to the lateral rigidity due to an optimized positioning.

SRS - Spoke Retention System
The slots on the hub body are machined in a special way, to make sure that the spoke head is imprisoned and will not pop out of the hub. The spoke still has a certain travel in the slot, in order to let the wheel absorb some of the terrain obstacles.

SUP - Soudé Usiné Process
After bending, the rim joint is arc welded. The welded seam is then milled for a smooth finish.

UST - Universal Standard for Tubeless
Creation of an airtight rim thanks to the Fore concept, drilling of one rim wall only. A UST rim profile shows specific humps to fix securely UST compatible tyre or any other tube type tyre.
