Mavic Deemax DH 29" Downhill Wheels 6 Bolt Tubeless Ready

The Mavic Deemax DH 29" 6 Bolt Wheels are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional downhill racing, delivering exceptional performance and resilience on the most challenging terrain. Developed and rigorously tested by the Mavic DH team in the French Alps, these wheels feature a robust 30mm wide welded rim designed to absorb severe impacts and minimise vibrations. This construction offers riders enhanced confidence and precise control, essential for navigating aggressive descents and technical World Cup tracks.

Crafted from Mavic’s proprietary Maxtal Aluminium Alloy, the Deemax wheels combine superior strength with reduced weight, outperforming conventional alloys through an improved strength-to-weight ratio. The integration of ISM Light Rim Technology further optimises the design by eliminating excess material between spokes, resulting in rims that are 15% lighter without compromising durability. This innovation translates into a more responsive and fatigue-resistant ride, empowering riders to maintain peak performance over extended sessions.

Designed for reliability and ease of maintenance, the Deemax wheels incorporate 28 double-butted J-Bend spokes, facilitating quick repairs and servicing. Each set includes two replacement spokes to minimise downtime and keep riders on track. Their wider rim profile is compatible with downhill tyres ranging from 2.0" to 3.0", allowing versatile tyre selection tailored to various trail conditions. Featuring Instant Drive 360 technology, these wheels provide smooth and efficient engagement, while UST tubeless compatibility improves traction, control, and ride comfort by reducing flat tyre risks.
