Mavic Cosmic CXR 80 Tubular Road Wheelset With Wheel-Tyre System

The Cosmic CXR 80 T wheelset makes for an extremely high quality, performance enhancing upgrade to any road race, TT or triathlon bike. It took Mavic three years to develop the CXR 80 to get the aero profile just right - using data gathered from wind tunnel testing.
Weight - 2170g (pair, wheel tyre system)
Rim:
The first thing you notice about the Cosmic CXR 80 wheels is the deep 80mm carbon profile. At 80mm this wheel will easily cut through headwinds. Side winds will make for exciting riding, but the effect has been reduced by the rim blades. These blades fix between the tyre and the rim to bridge the groove which side winds buffer - helping the airflow wash over the top of the tyre.
Mavic calls these blade CX01 technology and in head on winds they provide an extremely smooth surface for the air to flow around the tyre and wheels. They state is improves laminar airflow at ?every yaw angle?. Why? Well to deliver a wheelset which has extremely low aero drag, so you ride faster.
The rim itself is fully carbon fibre for ultra lightweight wheels with excellent stiffness.
Tyre:
The front and rear tyres on the CX80 T are slightly different. The Yksion Griplink front has a softer dual compound than the rear and is grippier (hence the name) to give you extra control around corners. The Yskion Powerlink rear tyre has a harder dual compound to improve the durability and stiffness for power transfer. They combine into a unified set up that makes for confident riding at speed. Each tyre weighs just 230g.
Spokes:
Mavic?s Cosmic 80 comes with 16/20 steel spokes. To enhance the aerodynamics, the spokes have a bladed design. They?ve also been double butted to shave off extra weight whilst keeping the spokes strong.
Hub:
Both the front and rear hub bodies are fully carbon with aluminium flanges. This reduces overall weight while the aluminium axle is durable and stiff. High grade adjustable sealed cartridge bearings keeps your wheels rolling smoothly and require no maintenance.
This a wheelset for serious cyclists looking for serious performance. Mavic have combined all their knowledge and experience into this system.
