Mavic E-CrossTrail SL

E-MTBs generate significantly higher torque and carry more weight than standard mountain bikes, which puts extra stress on the rear wheel. The E-CrossTrail SL uses an asymmetrical aluminum rim and reinforced construction to manage these forces without compromising handling.

Fore drilling creates a solid rim bed without holes, meaning you don't need to use rim tape to set up a tubeless system. This eliminates the risk of tape failure or leaks and reduces the overall rotational weight of the wheel.

Black Shield is a specialized surface treatment that makes the aluminum rim significantly more resistant to impacts and scratches. It is designed to protect the rim from rock strikes and trail debris, which is essential given the higher speeds and heavier bike weights associated with e-biking.

This wheel is built with a 148 x 12mm axle standard, commonly known as Boost spacing. Please check your bike's frame specifications to ensure it matches this standard before purchasing.

The asymmetrical shape allows for more balanced spoke tension between the drive side and the non-drive side of the wheel. This results in a stronger, stiffer wheel that tracks more accurately through technical terrain.

Yes, the spokes are standard straight-pull, bladed components that can be sourced and replaced by most bike shops. While they are designed for high durability and stiffness, they remain serviceable if you encounter a significant impact.
