Mavic Aksium INT Wheel Black, 6 Bolt, Front, 12x100mm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve trained on Aksiums for years because they’re exactly what I need—strong, predictable, and ready for big miles. The straight-pull spokes stay true even after rough pavement, and the QRM bearings roll as smooth as anything twice the price. The front gives steady control on fast descents, while the rear holds up under sprint torque. For riders who just want to ride more and wrench less, this setup nails it.""When we want a wheelset that just works—mile after mile through unpredictable weather and rough roads—we turn to the Mavic Aksium front and rear wheels. Mavic builds these with the same engineering mindset behind their premium race hoops, combining lightweight alloy rims with proven QRM bearings for the ultimate balance of smoothness and strength. Each wheel is built around a 17mm internal width rim that fits modern 25–32mm tires, giving us the confidence and comfort to push through long rides or tackle beat-up backroads. Straight-pull spokes deliver extra stiffness and durability, while reinforced rim drilling and a pinned joint design boost longevity. The front wheel delivers predictable tracking and braking, and the rear wheel adds the muscle for efficient power transfer. Together, they’re our go-to choice for durable, everyday road riding that doesn’t compromise on feel."
