Mavic Cosmic SL 45 C23 carbon bike wheels 2026

Heavily inspired by the previous version, these Mavic Cosmic SL 45 C23 wheels feature a new, more modern design whilst retaining all the same qualities. Designed for fast riding on the flat and over hills for sprinters, these wheels offer greater lateral stiffness for improved power transfer. UST Road technology offers greater speed, comfort and control thanks to an easier-to-use tubeless system. Inspired by NACA profiles following wind tunnel testing, the rim shape is designed to minimise aerodynamic drag. The double-butted flat spokes help to reduce weight and improve responsiveness. With a 45 mm profile and an internal width of 23 mm, the Mavic Cosmic SL 45 C23 are lightweight and specially developed to offer you the best possible experience. These wheels are responsive thanks to the Infinity hubs, which ensure ultra-efficient power transfer. Lightweight and efficient, the Instant Drive 360 freehub system minimises friction, whilst the QRM bearings offer excellent smoothness. Technical specifications: - Discipline: road (hills, flat)
