Mavic Deemax 27.5" Boost wheelset

This new do-it-all DH wheel is light, strong and built for hard-charging off-road adventures

When you’re entering the pinball section on the Fort William World Cup downhill track, or you’re flying blind on the most demanding enduro terrain at an Enduro World Series race, there’s no time to be thinking about your wheels. Deemax is designed to absorb big hits and perform flawlessly on the roughest terrain, giving pros and weekend warriors alike the confidence to push their limits.

Developed with input from the top pro athletes, this is one of the most durable wheelsets ever produced for hardcore gravity riders. It has been put to the test over and over again and recently delivered DH pros Laurie Greenland and Marine Cabirou to their first World Cup wins on the deadly Black Snake Track in Val di Sole, Italy. The alloy rims feature a 28mm internal width with a triangular shape that helps absorb big impacts—from hard-hammering rocks to hard landings and big compressions. The Black Shied treatment gives them a distinctive finish and protects the rims against impacts and scratches. Mavic chose a classical J-bend spoke construction using 28 steel spokes (same spoke length throughout), double-butted and bladed for the perfect balance of vertical compliance and strength to handle the abuses of aggressive gravity riding.

Hammer through rough terrain with confidence
Wider 28mm (internal) rim is engineered to absorb heavy impacts. Developed for the pro riders to conquer the harshest DH and Enduro racetracks.

Easy to maintain

Technologies

UST tubeless technology
Traction and control. Universal Standard for Tubeless. Ready to ride tubeless system. The UST concept improves traction, control and comfort whilst reducing inertia and flats.

Instant Drive 360 freewheel technology
The new Instant Drive 360 freewheel system is super light and fast to engage with only 9°. A large contactless rubber seal provides low friction, while a wide array of end caps makes it super versatile.

  • Oversize aluminium axle and hardened alloy freewheel driver body saves 40 g.
  • 40 teeth dual ratchet system provides fast 9° engagement.
  • Radial seal provides low friction for higher speed and perfect waterproofness.
  • Comprehensive end cap adapters makes it compatible with any type of retention system and driver body (QR, 12x142, HG, ED…).

QRM Auto bearing preload technology
Qualité de Roulements Mavic Auto. The latest innovation from the french brand. Those cartridge bearings are of course double sealed with C3 internal clearance. Their preload is automatically adjusted to guarantee a perfect spin with no play on the long run.

SUP welding technology
Stronger and smoother joint
Soudé Usiné Process. After bending, the rim joint is arc welded. The welded seam is then milled for a smooth finish.

  • Extremely strong rim joint
  • Eliminates shuddering when braking
  • Superior wheel balance
