- Mavic Cosmic Pro Carbon Exalith Road Wheelset. The best value aero-profiled Wheel-Tyre System from Mavic has now been redesigned with an Exalith 2 rim brake surface, which improves performance in wet and dry conditions. The 45mm deep aero rim profile cuts through the air and every watt of power the rider puts out is transferred directly to the road thanks to the Instant Drive 360 freehub body Optimized Rim Profile. The 45mm deep rim profile provides exceptional air drag control and the wide 25mm outer width increases performance further. The 25mm external rim width integrates seamlessly with the 25mm wide Yksion tyres, creating the perfect tyre profile. This provides optimised drag control, easy crosswind steering and an abundance of grip when coming into corners fast, even when braking hard Exceptional Braking Performance. The 12K Maxtal carbon rim construction combined with the Mavic aero double-butted spokes laced into the aluminium hubs create a super stiff wheelset. This ensures that no power is lost when pedalling as the wheels cannot flex. Equally the minimal wheel flex ensures that you are in complete control when cornering at speeds, making them perfect for long winding, high speed descents. The Exalith 2 braking track insures your braking power and consistency will provide the same exceptional performance at the beginning of the ride as it will after hundreds of miles of demanding terrain Features: Rims: Material:¬†Maxtal & 12K carbon fibre Joint:¬†SUP Drilling:¬†Traditional Brake Track: Exalith 2 Internal Width: 17mm Height: 45mm Valve hole diameter:¬†6 5mm Tyre:¬†Clincher ETRTO:¬†622x17CSpokes: Material:¬†Steel Shape:¬†Straight pull, aero, double bladed Nipples:¬†Aluminium, ABS Count:¬†16 front, 20 rear Lacing:¬† Radial front, rear IsopulseHubs: Hub body:¬†Aluminium front and rear Axle material:¬†Aluminium Bearings: QRM+, QRM Auto Freewheel:¬†Instant Drive 360 Rear axle: Quick Release only Front axle: Quick Release only Freewheel: Shimano/SRAM, convertible to Campagnolo and SRAM XD-R [driver body sold separately]Tyre: Yksion Pro GripLink [front] & PowerLink [rear] Compound: Single compound Casing: 127 TPI Breaker: Front Kevlar, Rear Polyamide ETRTO: 25-622 [700x25c]Weight: Tyre: 210g [700x25c] Pair without tyre:¬†1 65kg Front without tyre:¬†735g Rear without tyre:¬†915gDelivered With: Multifunction adjustment wrench Exalith brake pads BR301 quick releases Rim tape User guideTechnologies: GripLink [Grip and Control]: A front tyre, whether a clincher or a tubular, must fully liberate the wheel‚Äôs ability to hold the ground and control the bike. Therefore, GripLink tyres are optimized for front use, by offering a superior grip and extra puncture protection. PowerLink [Low Rolling Resistance]: A rear tyre, whether a clincher or a tubular, must fully liberate the wheel‚Äôs ability to transfer power and generate speed. Therefore, PowerLink tyres are optimized for rear wheel use, by minimizing the rolling resistance. ISM [Inter Spoke Milling]: An exclusive Mavic patented concept, ISM involves the machining of the lower bridge of the rim between each spoke hole to create a light and rigid rim without reducing the durability or stiffness. SUP [Soud√© Usin√© Process]: After bending, the rim joint is arc welded. The welded seam is then milled for a smooth finish. QRM+ [Qualit√© de Roulements Mavic+]: Mavic’s most demanding level. Cartridge bearings are of course double sealed with C3 internal clearance, and topped with a micro-adjustability system. EXALITH 2 [High Braking Performance]: The Mavic exclusive Exalith 2 technology for aluminium rims has been refined to provide a very high level of durability and braking performance in all weather conditions. Exalith 2 technology reduces braking distances by 18% in wet conditions, while keeping pad wear to normal levels. Using Exalith 2 tech not only creates a distinctive anthracite braking surface but penetrates the rim to delay wear. MAXTAL: Exclusive to Mavic, this specific aluminium alloy offers a higher strength to weight ratio than conventional 6106 alloy. Instant Drive 360: The new Instant Drive 360 freewheel system is super light and fast to engage with only 9¬∞ of engagement. A large contactless rubber seal provides low friction, while a wide array of end caps makes it super versatile Buy¬†Mavic Wheels & Tyres¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.

Do I need Exalith brake pads?
Exalith rims require special brake pads — regular pads will be eaten alive by the hard grooved surface [as I found out, see below]. The hardness also allows Mavic to machine an additional 10g off each rim, and along with increasing brake-track life, decreases the chance of hairline cracks at the spoke outlets.
Are Mavic carbon wheels good?
The Mavic Cosmic SL 40 is a solid carbon rim-brake wheelset – it delivers good overall performance with the minimum of fuss. A particular highlight is the braking experience.
How much does the cosmic pro carbon Exalith weigh?
Mavic combines the new rim with bladed spokes and its own straight-pull-specific hubs for an all-in weight of 1,650g a pair. The complete package — the wheels are supplied with Mavic's Yksion Pro Griplink and Powerlink tyres and tubes — comes in at 1,143g [f], 1,319g [r], plus 124g for the clever cam-lock skewers.
How deep is the rim on the Mavic cosmic pro?
The Cosmic Pro Carbon was originally used primarily for fast, flat races, but incremental improvements have given it the versatility it was once missing. At only 1650g with a 45mm deep rim, this wheel system now offers the perfect balance of light weight and aero efficiency.
