Mavic R-SYS WTS Wheelset 2012
Light and stiff as ever, further enhanced by the Right Link! R-Sys remains as light and as stiff as ever thanks to the exclusive Tracomp Technology. Those amazing performances are now boosted by our Yksion GripLink and Yksion PowerLink tyres, completing the overall WTS design impact.

(1405 grams without WTS)
Technologies
Tracomp Traction Compression. Tracomp carbon fiber spokes works in traction and compression: - uder normal loads, wheel deflection is limited by the very high traction resistance of carbon fibers. - uder greater loads, where a normal wheel would flex more because of one of its spoke loosening, Tracomp spokes enter into compression and keep supporting the rim, preventing any further wheel deflection.
GripLink A good tyre, whether a clincher or a tubular, must fully liberate the wheel's potential and even enhance its performance. Therefore, the expected benefits of the front tyre are different from the rear one. GripLink clinchers and tubulars are optimized for front use.
The safest grip with great steering control: Dual compound "S+" with added Silica
Hold the road in any situation: light and supple high density casing
Reduced risk of flats: strong Nylon anti-puncture breaker.
PowerLink A good tyre, whether a clincher or a tubular, must fully liberate the wheel's potential and even enhance its performance. Therefore, the expected benefits of the front tyre are different from the rear one. PowerLink clinchers and tubulars are optimized for rear use.
Superior energy transfer, reduced rolling resistance and safe grip: Dual compound
Improved drive: light and supple high density casing
Higher durability and reduced risk of flats: Dual compound and strong Nylon anti-puncture breaker.
ISM Inter Spoke Milling Lighter rim and equal rigidity is the magic equation to reduce inertia and to free extra power for climbing. A Mavic patented exclusive concept (US 6 402 256).
FTS-L Force Transfer System Light. Reinforcement of key transmission components: the contact area between the pawl and the hub body is reinforced by 2 stainless steel inserts, which allows the use of a 100% aluminum hub body: The entire hub is extremely lightweight and strong Greater efficiency due to better transmission of efforts on the entire wheel.
QRM+ Qualité de Roulements Mavic +. Our most demanding level. Those cartridge bearings are of course double sealled with C3 internal clearance, and toped with a micro-adjustability system, allowing you to quickly adjust your wheels according to performance goals: precision "free" adjustment for maximum fluidity, or perfect high precision setting for all-weather rides.
Fore Only one of the 2 rim wall is "drilled": The rim is 4 times more resistant to fatigue stress 20% increase in the rim rigidity to transfer all of your energy to the ground.
UB Control Usiné Brut Control. The braking surfaces are milled to improve braking friction and eliminate shuddering.
SUP Soudé Usiné Process. After bending, the rim joint is arc welded. The welded seam is then milled for a smooth finish. A welded and milled rim joint is extremely strong, eliminates shuddering when braking, and offers superior wheel balance.
Zicral A highly resistant and and lightweight aluminum alloy for spokes.
Maxtal Exclusive to Mavic. An aluminum alloy that is 30% more resistant than a 6106 alloy, for lighter and stronger rims.
