Mavic Deemax Pro wheels


Mavic’s ‘half-hearted’ wide wheel approach isn’t fashionable, but the new Deemax Pros are light and massively tough. Once you’ve added valves, the solid rim bed and new hookless sides mean an instant seal. Tyres are included, and the new 2.5in Claw up front is an awesome aggro all-rounder. Add super-stiff tracking, low-pressure stability and a 27mm inner width, and the front wheel can be ridden super-hard. The rear is much narrower (23.5mm), to improve rolling speed and make the back end easier to turn/slide. Mavic’s Quest rear tyre is surprisingly draggy too, and the narrower profile doesn’t damp impacts as well as the glueddown front. With a different back tyre, the ultra-reliable rear hub and low weight make this a very responsive, precise-feedback race or hard-riding option.

SPECIALIZED P.STREET 2

S pecialized’s P.Series bikes have been much loved hardcore/ jump hybrid contenders for years and this 2014 nugget is no exception.
