Mavic Aksium Wheels

FTS-L

Force Transfer System Light:

Reinforcement of a key transmission component: the contact area between the pawl and the hub body is reinforced by two stainless steel inserts, which allows the use of a 100% aluminum hub body.

QRM

Qualité de Roulements Mavic:

Mavic uses only high-quality sealed cartridge bearings. On QRM wheels, these bearings feature double seals (2RS or LLU) along with tight, C3 internal clearances.

UB Control

Usiné Brut Control:

The rim’s braking surfaces are precisely CNC machined for smooth, predictable braking and less brake chatter.

H2

Hammer Hardening:

H2 involves the local strengthening of the rim in the area where the spokes exert the greatest stress. This helps ensure rim longevity and resistance to stress fractures at the spoke holes, a common failure point in aluminum rims.
