Wheels
Mavic Cross Ride 27.5 wheels: lightweight and stiff. Everything you need for fast acceleration and efficient steering. The 27.5 inch wheels provide a good compromise: they have more traction and ease of riding over obstacles than a 26" wheel, while limiting the negative impact of inertia on the bike's steering and responsiveness and the loss of rigidity of a 29" wheel.
