{"product_id":"mavic-cosmic-s-42-disc-wheelset","title":"Mavic Cosmic S 42 Disc Wheelset","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMavic Cosmic S 42 Disc Wheelset\u003c\/strong\u003e is Mavic's entry point into full-carbon disc road wheels, built to bring the Cosmic name's aero and climbing reputation down to a more accessible price. At $1,369.00, it's positioned as a versatile all-around road wheel rather than a specialist aero or climbing build, aimed at riders who want one wheelset capable of undulating terrain, sustained climbs, and fast descents alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim is 100% carbon fiber, 42mm deep with a 21mm internal width and a hooked bead profile, built to Mavic's UST tubeless-ready standard so tires seat and hold pressure without needing a separate tubeless conversion kit. That internal width is wide enough to support modern 25-32mm road tires at higher volume, which Mavic designed to improve grip and cornering confidence over a narrower rim. The 42mm depth is Mavic's middle ground for road riding: enough profile for aero benefit and stability at speed, without the weight or crosswind sensitivity of a much deeper rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMavic builds the hub around its Instant Drive 360 freehub system, which the company designed for light weight and low rolling friction, paired with QRM Auto bearings that self-adjust preload to stay smooth over time without regular servicing. The aluminum hub shell uses a Center Lock-only disc mount and a 12x100mm front, 12x142mm rear thru-axle setup, convertible to quick-release with separately sold adapters. This build's stock freehub is set up for Shimano and SRAM 11-speed drivetrains, and Mavic also sells conversion kits for SRAM XD, Shimano Microspline, and Campagnolo freehub bodies if a rider's drivetrain changes later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpokes are steel, laced 24 front and rear in a crossed-2 pattern with black steel nipples. \u003c!-- VERIFY: Mavic's own site describes these spokes as both \"flat\" in marketing copy and \"round, bent radius\" in its technical spec table — confirm actual spoke profile before publishing --\u003e Weight comes in at 775 grams for the front wheel and 885 grams for the rear, for a 1,660 gram pair, hand-assembled in Europe. Mavic rates the wheelset for a combined rider and bike weight up to 120 kilograms, and for road and light off-road use with jumps under 15 centimeters, which covers gravel-adjacent riding on a road or all-road bike without pushing into true mountain bike territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a wheelset for road riders who want a genuine step up to full carbon and disc-specific engineering without paying for a dedicated aero or climbing wheel, and who ride a mix of terrain where one versatile wheelset makes more sense than two specialized ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mavic","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ HG11 (Shimano \/ SRAM 11s)","offer_id":43868149055532,"sku":"P00079003","price":1369.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/mavic-cosmic-s-42-disc-wheelset-7426109.jpg?v=1771294153","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/mavic-cosmic-s-42-disc-wheelset","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
