Mavic Crossland Mountain Wheels Take a Year of Riding with No Problems

I'm definitely pleased with the set of Mavic Crossland mountain bike wheels I put on my mountain bike last July. I bought the wheels because the set that came with my Marin Bear Valley SE years ago were falling apart due to metal fatigue, and I kept breaking spokes.

Mavic® Crossland Silver Front

Mavic® Crossland Silver Front

New from Mavic®, this entry-level priced wheel is anything but entry-level when it comes to technology, with many of the same features you'd find on higher-priced wheels. SUP welded rims with UB machined braking surface and disc compatible hubs allow you to easily make the upgrade to disc brakes. 24 stainless spokes laced 2-cross for added strength and weight savings. Includes skewer and rim tape. Wt.: 970g.


Mavic® Crossland Silver Rear

Mavic® Crossland Silver Rear

Includes skewer and rim tape. Shimano® 8/9 spd compatible. Wt.: 1100g.


I just looked at my training log and figured out that I've ridden these wheels 1,535 miles with two tire changes but no problems with spoke breakage. That makes the investment worth it to me.
