Light and Stiff
Introduced one year ago, R-SYS and its revolutionary TraComp technology has been immediately rated as the best wheel ever by pro racers, journalists and every day riders. TraComp technology prevents a loss of tension on spokes to maintain high stiffness under high loads and carbon spokes don´t stretch as much as steel or aluminum ones. Result : the best ratio stiffness/lightness on the market.

Stiff to transform all of your power into pure speed

TracompTM technology prevents loss of tension on spokes to maintain high stiffness under high loads

Maximized rear wheel dish increases lateral stiffness

Carbon spokes don´t stretch as much as steel or aluminum which limit wheel distortion

Light for instant acceleration

Carbon spokes are lighter than their alloy counterpart

Low stress wheels allow extra light rim extrusion and maximized ISM* to reduce inertia. (*ISM : Inter Spoke Milling)

The usual mavic durability

Tracomp technology allows a decrease of spoke tension to lower stresses on wheel components

Mavic´s experience: same required durability as any other Mavic´wheels

Technologies:

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.

FTS-L - Force Transfer System Light
The ‘FTS Nose’ is an extension of the hub body that goes inside the freewheel body. The contact zone between the pawl and the FTS Nose is reinforced by 2 stainless steel inserts, which allows for manufacturing an all aluminium, mono-piece hub body. The pawls are centered exactly in the middle of the freewheel body.

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).

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 positionning,

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

Tracomp
By creating a tubular carbon spoke using unidirectional fiber that can´t be stretched neither compressed and by fixing it securely on both sides to the hub and the rim, we have brought a new concept of spoke work: it resists not only in traction but in compression too.

UB Control - Usiné Brut Control
The sidewalls of the rim are milled with a diamond point on a digitally controlled machine after assembly and anodization
