General Information
"MAXTAL – An aluminum alloy that is very light for its weight. A similar alloy has been used on the TGV super trains that rocket people around the French countryside in comfort at high speed. Mavic uses MAXTAL on all Ksyrium wheels that are Ksyrium Elite or better."*

"SUP – Soude Usine Process – very loosely translated = “Factory Welded Process”. Rims are made from long bent extrusions of alloy. The ends of the extrustion, once bent into a circle, needs to be joined and this can be done through an inexpensive and rough pin joint or by welding. All better quality aluminum rims are welded instead of using looser and less expensive pin joints as welding is more consistent, laterally stiffer, and more durable. When combined with a braking surface milling process like UB Control, a welded rim also offers smoother braking performance and better modulation. SUP is found on all alloy rim Ksyrium, R-Sys and Cosmic wheels."*
