Julien Absalon Tests Prototype Wheels for Mavic
I found this video on the internet recently of Orbea Professional Mountain Biker Julien Absalon testing wheels for Mavic. Some interesting information as to how high end wheels are developed, and a lot of aesthetically pleasing shots of Mr. Absalon ripping through the trails with great alacrity.
While much of the testing is on products not quite yet ready for the show room floor, my partner Brent has nothing but praise for his Mavic Crossmax 29r wheels.
And if you are looking for a hardtail race bike Orbea has got some beautiful options for both the 26er hold outs, and the big wheel pushers.
