About this deal

If the items we have sent you are faulty, damaged or not as we described, we will cover the cost of collection and the delivery of the correct item. For a longer longevity of the wheel, Mavic recommends that the total weight supported by the wheels don't exceed 120kg, bike included

Manufacturers reserve the right to change specifications without notice based on availability at the point of assembly.With a 17mm internal width, these rims are compatible with tires up to 32mm, making them versatile, comfortable and ideal for challenging road conditions. The disc-specific hubs feature super strong QRM bearings that provide low friction and long-term durability. . Our QRM Auto self-adjusting bearing freehub body requires no adjustment and guarantees high durability In a thru-axle system, the dropouts have closed-off circular openings, rather than an open end. That means there’s no risk of the wheel falling out as you ride. The thru-axle passes through the dropout on one side of the wheel and screws into threads in the dropout on the other side. That’s mainly down to the threads used to screw the axle into the frame, where there are different pitches used by different brands.

Boost thru-axles are found on other Focus bikes too, such as the Focus Atlas gravel bike. Thru-axle complications Thru-axles often have a lever built into them, which gives you tool-free removal if you need to fix a flat or swap a wheel. In some cases, the lever may be removable so you only need one for the pair of wheels – DT Swiss uses this system. Sram Apex 11 speed:Reliable, with a wide range of gears for all-terrain – even the biggest of hills. So far, so good. But as with mountain bikes there are a few variants. Boost wheels and axles are now found on many mountain bikes and this standard is also found in a smattering of gravel bikes and ebikes. In other cases, you need to use an Allen key or multi-tool to remove the wheel because there’s no lever on the axle. It leads to a cleaner look and less wind resistance, but does mean you need to carry a tool with you on a ride. Road BoostToday's Yksion's are better by a large margin. Grip is good in both the wet and dry, and while they still aren't the most supple tyres out there, they roll well. I didn't have any aggro from the puncture fairy during testing, either. The double-butted spokes contribute to the weight reduction while making the wheel more responsive. These spokes also have a patented elliptical shape that can save 5 watts for added efficiency. Roadies, particularly racers, don’t like slow wheel changes – it was one of the many complaints from pros when disc brakes and thru-axles started to appear on road bikes. So there have been several attempts to speed up thru-axle removal using proprietary systems. As well as being more secure, you can exert more clamping force on a thru-axle for a more rigid interface between the wheel and the frame.
