FTS-X (Force Transfer X)
The ‘FTS Nose’ is an extension of the hub body that goes inside the freewheel. The contact zone between the pawl and the FTS Nose is reinforced by 2 stainless steel inserts, which allows for manufacturing an all aluminium, mono-piece hub body. The pawls are centered exactly in the middle of the freewheel body, for a direct power transmission. The FTS-X version features 2 new pawls made of harder steel, a new low friction v-seal and new axle end screw with a dry thread lock prep.
_Better endurance of the free-wheel mechanism
_50% less friction thanks to the new seal
_Light & strong with total compatibility with current FTS-L Mavic MTB wheels

H2 (Hammer Hardening)
Hammer Hardening, or H2, is the local strengthening of the rim in the area where the spokes exert the greatest force. This improves life expectancy and the resistance to micro cracking. Reinforcement of the area around each nipple hole by hammering to compress the material of this sensitive zone. The rim can be eyeleted on top to even more improve resistance.
_Large reduction of micro cracking occurs
_Decrease of occurrence of pulled nipples through eyelets
_Raise of rim life

QRM
The sealed cartridge bearings on all Mavic hubs are exceptional: they are easy to maintain, produce low friction, and are interchangeable. These sealed cartridge bearings are removable and micro adjustable, allowing you to easily and quickly adjust your wheels according to performance goals: high precision adjustment for maximum fluidity, or set tighter for all weather rides. Qualité Roulements Mavic® Sealed cartridge bearings that are serviceable, mounted on a special axle featuring a ""bearing support ring"" to adjust play.
_Sealed Cartridge Bearings require no specific maintenance and are interchangeable
_SCB produce low friction and maximum rolling fluidity

UB Control (Usiné Brut Control): The braking surfaces are milled to improve braking friction and eliminate shuddering. The sidewalls of the rim are milled with a diamond point on a digitally controlled machine after assembly and anodization.
_Higher coefficient of friction for a powerful braking
_Elimination of shuddering when braking
_Precision of adjustment of brake pads and trueness due to perfectly parallel braking surfaces milling
