Technologies

QRM (Qualité de Roulements Mavic)
Mavic uses only high quality sealed cartridge bearings. On QRM wheels, they are double sealed (2RS or LLU) and have a tight C3 internal clearance.

FTS-L (Force Transfer System Light)
The crucial freewheel components are specifically reinforced: at the contact surface between pawls and hub body with two stainless steel inserts - so the hub body can be made of 100% aluminum.
