Price just lowered. I bought these for $1400, and then ended up on a 27.5.
Best for a heavy rider looking for a wheelset with a 400 lb rating for aggressive riding. Very high durability to weight rating.
29" Mavic Crossmax E-Deemax S30 Wheelset, E-bike rated wheels factory built for the most severe of downhill runs.
The new Mavic E-Deemax S30 and E-Deemax S35 wheels in detail:
In addition to the high ASTM 5 certification for e-bikes on paper, the Mavic E-Deemax S30 and S35 wheels are characterized by increased wall thickness in particularly stressed areas. On the other hand, material was removed in places where the load peaks do not reach critical values. Mavic calls this technology Inter Spoke Milling (ISM for short), which thins out the wall thickness of the rim on the inside in the areas between each spoke hole. According to Mavic, this allows weight savings of up to 17%. In the case of the E-Deemax S wheels, this represents a 10% saving compared to unmachined rims. Another e-bike specific improvement is the increased flange diameter on the hub to withstand the increased loads from the motor. The new Mavic E-Deemax S wheels are of course compatible with tubeless tires. Thanks to the Fore-technology used by Mavic, a tubeless setup does not even require rim tape, according to Mavic. The spokes are screwed directly into the spoke holes from the outside, leaving the lower rim bridge intact. This is to make the rim more rigid and prevent material fatigue. Another advantage: If a spoke nipple has to be changed, no rim tape has to be removed from the rim. The rim has an additional and wider shoulder. According to Mavic, the increased contact area with the tire should reduce the risk of pinch-flats by 20%.
Double black ASTM5 (build for severe abuse by heavy people) UST Mountain bike wheels rated at 180 kg (400 lb). 30mm internal width for up to 3.0 tires. Mavic doesn't make a stronger wheel. Boost spacing for Sram XD driver or shimano HG series drivers as well as splined, etc.
I ended up importing these and not using these. Comes with extra ZICRAL spokes, etc. $1400 plus tax in the US if you can find them ANYWHERE.
If what you want is the toughest, most reliable wheel that you NEVER have to tape, you have found them. No carbon wheel can hold a candle to these. And you will never need a carbon "lifetime warranty" (marketing gimmick) with these either. They simply don't have the problems inherent with carbon wheels.
