The Mavic Cosmic Elite is a rear wheel that introduces riders to high-level race performance with the advanced UST Road Tubeless system. It's designed for a smoother ride and better puncture resistance, all while maintaining a lightweight profile ideal for climbing and acceleration. The wheel's design minimizes rolling resistance thanks to the tubeless setup, which is also lighter than traditional tube and tire systems. A 30mm deep rim enhances aerodynamic efficiency and crosswind stability, crafted from alloy with Mavic's expert balancing of stiffness, strength, and weight. The FTS-L freewheel system ensures efficient power transfer, and the wheel is compatible with both Shimano/SRAM. It comes equipped with Mavic's Yksion Pro UST tires for ultra-low rolling resistance.
