Mavic just announced development of a Lefty-specific 750 gram CrossMax SL Disc front wheel. According to Mavic, “The Crossmax SL Disc is a concentrate of Mavic know-how and features technology such as the Fore concept, which provides a sealed rim and added strength, ISM (inter-spoke milling) which reduces inertia and rim weight (30-40g), a Maxtal rim for strength and lightness, SUP seam welding for rigidity and a perfect seal at the seam, 24 Zicral spokes for strength and lightness, a high quality QRM cartridge bearing Mavic hub, and UST tubeless rim.”
It will only be available Cannondale Lefty equipped bikes later this 2003 season.
