7% off (Sale price $249.99, Reg. Price $269.99) :: Mavic XA Elite Boost 27.5 Rear Wheel + Quest Pro Tire. If your mountain bike utilizes the Boost hub standard, then the Mavic XA Elite 27.5 Boost Rear Wheel is a must-have addition. The Boost standard is all about increasing the stiffness of larger diameter mountain bike wheels by utilizing a wider hub axle spacing (148mm for a rear wheel) as well as a wider flange width. And furthermore, Mavic has included a 27.5×2.4 Quest Pro tire to further sweeten the deal. The trend in cycling these days – both on- and off-road – is for wider rims and the XA Elite’s Maxtal alloy rim features an internal width of 25mm that’s perfect for all-mountain and enduro endeavors. The rim also utilizes Mavic’s SUP technology, which translates to a welded and milled joint, as well as Inter Spoke Milling 4 Dimensions (ISM 4D) technology to reduce the rim’s weight without any compromise to strength. The aluminum hub is set up for a 6-bolt disc rotor and rolls super-smooth on Mavic’s renowned sealed cartridge bearings. There are also 24 straight pull, bladed, butted spokes in a 2x lacing pattern for optimal strength and durability. For an added bonus, a 27.5×2.4 Quest Pro tire is included. The Quest Pro is full of technology to enhance your trail riding experiences including a dual compound tread for both grip and durability, Guard + reinforced casing, a knob pattern that delivers traction, predictable braking, and precision cornering, plus it’s UST tubeless-ready with included rim tape, valve stem, and sealant.
