- Опубліковано 4 сер 2018
- Mavic has always be synonymous with cycling, especially when it comes to wheels. Their iconic yellow and black colours have been a feature of racetracks from road and track cycling to mountain biking. Doddy takes a look at their new Instant Drive 360 hubs, which are now on all their mountain bike wheelsets.
In association with Mavic.

Mavic used to use the tried and tested pawl and spring system for their freehubs, but have now moved on. They have replaced their IST-4 system and now use their Instant Drive 360 free hub. It uses a dual ratchet system and 40 teeth to give excellent engagement. It’s more efficient, more reliable and smoother rolling.

How cool are Mavic's new hubs? What do you think of their new design?
Mavic's new design looks awesome. Also, more of these 'history of tech' style videos, please!
It now looks like DT Swiss Hub =) with that sayed... DT Swiss is making a brilliant Job =P
only 51 tooth? my one has 54 tooth. And just by the way... i modded mine and make them slightly louder.
It is the Only one Video on my "Channel"
Looks just like DT Swiss design. If you want to look at something ahead of its time, take a look at onyx and stealth hubs.
Obviousley simular to the DT Swiss, but isn't that what's Shimano is also doing a version of?
You forget to write mavic’s new hubs SYSTEM.
Four years later and this video is still informative and relevant. Good work Doddy and team!
Thanks dfiler2! Great to hear 👍
hands down doddy is the best addition to the gmbn channel.
Really great hub , I have one low budget one and its great and they were good in the seventies also. I really like the mavic wheels in the seventies!
This video was fantastic. I love seeing the history of where we came from with biking compared to where we are at now.
Thanks Ryan!
Thanks, I always learn so much about bikes on GMBN Tech. Keep it up :)
Insightful video Doddy. You are a great speaker! Love the history of the Mavic Hubs. Great innovation over the years.
I never realised I was so interested in how hubs work. Great show GMBN, keep it up.
Dear GMBN, this is the best type of video you do. Doddy is especially good presenter for this kind of stuff. 👍
You are the tech master when it comes to mountain bikes. I swear something I used to know just got pushed out of my brain with all that info. Great tech vid.
Thank you Doddy, very informative and thanks for assembling all of the hub examples, Even I could understand what you were talking about! Ride on! Tim
Awesome video doddy, you explained it so clearly and kept it interesting. Thanks mate
WOW this is full of so good info! Love how detailed you went to show how these work! :D
I love and ride Mavic rims and can't wait for the day I can ride a complete engineered wheelset of theirs. I like how the latest hub engineering mirrors my personal fav which is Chris King and his 72 point engagement ring drive system. When it all comes down to it spending extra money on wheels and tires is just smart money !
This video changed my life. Can’t wait to rage DH on my new Mavic XA Elites I bought mid video!
Very informative and thorough. Thank you.
This host is a gifted technical instructor. I love this side channel only because he is so good.
Doddy- just took a sideways glance at you in the vid and the wheel around your head is hilarious! Great stuff as usual my man thank you. I've always laced up Mavic rims myself.
Another great evaluation from you excellent level of knowledge Doddy you are a one off man thank you for another fantastic video,PD
That was a really helpful video and I will be purchasing some Mavic MTB wheels today with the new ID360 hubs. Just wanted to see the hubs in action so a great review and history lesson. The old 500 series hubs that we used back in the day were revolutionary when they came out and were better than the best from Campagnolo that I used previously. Changing the axles was a breeze to as was changing the disc wheels hubs for track use.
Good to see that they have not sat on their laurels as many manufacturers have and offer the tech across the range.
This is an interesting and great video from Mavic hubs and wheels. Thanks a lot.
Superb detail. Thanks!
That was well presented. Loved it! I have an old set of Mavic Cosmos from 2002 that are still in service. Great wheelset but discontinued a while ago. Debating on another set of Mavics for my mountain bike or going with something more traditional.
Excellent video. Highly informative and interesting. Great job
Great bed time story, uncle Doddy, seriously amazing feature, thank you for the content guys.
Very good video - thank you!
Fascinating video again. Thanks Doddie
Great video guys, I found that really interesting
I really like doddy when he's explaining the techy stuff. 😄 Thank you for all the info..!
No problem!
Exelente clip and great quality product.. Love Mavic
what a cool video Doddy, thanks mate, I don't have the most updated version but they are brilliant nonetheless
Good informative video! Well done!
Hi Doddy, I love that episode about Mavic. Since I believe 1998 when I’ve got chance to look on My brother’s magazines and catalogs Mavic wheels were our wheels of dream, for me DeeMax, and brother Crossmax. Actually I have DT Swiss hub with upgraded from bontrager rings with 54 points of engagement, wich is nice in MTB. But, i’ve been riding for 10 years Bike Trial and there I’ve got 109 points. So dt for me is still not enough fast engaging.
Kind Regards for whole GMBN TEAM.
Super sick set up!!!
I still have that 2011 cross trail wheel set @13:40 on my old trek fuel. It's Solid as a rock. Though it has only 2paws in it but with proper care. Still doing its job like new. Love mavic wheels. Wish I could have them in my new bike.
Why on earth has no one come up with that hub idea before?! So simple, so logical, looks effective and so easily serviceable!
Have this hub on my xa35 pro carbon wheels. Great engagement and holding up well. Stiff and lightweight
Nice content would love seeing more of this. That said I don’t understand the hype about any hub with more than a single degree of engagement. i9’s 0.52 degree engagement now that’s actually impressive.
Honestly I’d say that anything under 3° is sufficient, but yeah, 9° is not impressive at all.
Really interesting great job!!
Great Video Dobb 👍
nice to catch up with the newer hubs, that clutch mechanism is almost identical to my very early 90's DT hugi, they were also especially loud, especially with a tight set of spokes in a noisy aluminium Merlin malt 2.
As a roadie, I really appreciated this video and the excellent demonstration of the ID360 hubs. Well done!
Doddy, that was extremely interesting!!
Loved your talk. I have Mavic Enduro wheels (2014) on my Trek Remedy. I also have a pair of Mavic Enduro shoes, an all time favorite, like are on the work bench. I am about to put a micro spline freehub on my wheels; going to XT 12 speed. What should I use for lube on the freehub pawls?
nice video. thank you very much. learned a lot. go the mavic crossride before id360, but they really nice too
great video!!
I had some mavic crossmax enduro wheels. The spokes snap all the time. Moved to some Chris kings laced to dt swiss which were a huge improvement
Interesting watch.
Got a pair of crossrocs and I love them!
Cool vid...love wheel tech!
I love the ID360 hub, it's so easy to take apart and service. Beats cup and cone hubs and freehubs with pawls
I love your videos and i hope you can make a dedicated video for hub service. Thanks
Thanks a lot for old Mavic's hub 500 awesome review! That's all information I need for building my own DIY hub for freewheel, because it's too expensive fo me to buy modern systems, but couple freewheels I got for free from scrap metal.
Mavic are the best, but so far an unattainable dream for me.
Now this is an infomertial I cant complain about!
Great video as usual!
I have an 2013 Crossride 29 wheel from Mavic with a ITS-4 freehub system and I try to upgrade the freehub to a Micro-Spline for 12 speed Shimano cassette. But I couldn't find any freehub that fits, even on the mavic homepage. Is there a solution just with the right conversion kit to avoid to change the whole hub?
Wow, very thorough
Glad you liked it
Oh nice to learn more about Mavic.
I am using mavic crossride wheels on my cross country bike
Q GST Good wheels I have a pair myself
They are stantard on my 800€ cross country bike
Mavic wheeles and Hutchinson tyres. ( french bike)
I knew it was a "local" brand but didn't knew it was that good.
Since every high end bike i see is on DT Swiss or Reynolds.
I am even more happy to have that many good things for such a low price.
I’ve been riding Mavic wheels since the late 90’s and they’re strong and stay trued. I’ve never bought the Max, always the lower end and they’re more than fine for weekend rides in my local trails down here in South Florida.
I love my mavic with a maxxis tyre, full French 🐸 🇫🇷 🇫🇷
Do a video on Pawl Service? I did mine and had trouble reinstalling my spring ring (only a couple of my pawls seemed to be working correctly)
Mavic must've been like a Cannondale in their days :D That one company to rule in unconventional and shocking ideas, I love it!
Kuba Gajda we need those type of guys...just imagine how uninventive would it be if it was all shimano
Exactly. And while many people seem to hesitate against the changes, it is so satisfying to own this quirky stuff and show everyone how well it works :D
Super interesting. 🙂
Nice.. when you show Hope history ;)
Great vdo
I’m riding Mavic rims on several of my road bikes
I need to check out some hubs now
Great video, is the hub held together by just press fit? I got home from a road spin, the rear cassette had come away from the wheel with half of the freehub still attached on my new Cosmic Carbon SL. Just pushing it back together seems like a design flaw.
Hi awsome vid i have 3 wheels using its2 on an ebike i need an upgrade without changing the wheels or hub just the freehub any ideas or help would be extremely greatfull
Great stuff..
Hi Doddy, I'm after some tyres that will get me to work and back on the roads buthandle a good offroad shred in the woods at the weekend. What features am I looking for and can you recommend anything? I'm hoping not to have to buy 2 sets of tyres and change them every week, thanks Dave
I think ive never nerded out so much about bike tech haha
Nice one mate
You mountain bikers are so lucky to have Doddy. Alright, he has a fancy haircut, but apart from that he's just strait to the point, bombarding us with interesting information. Would love to have that on GCN.
Mavic actually didn't always have two bearings in the freehub. For years they had a bearing on the outboard side, but an awful plastic bushing on the inner side that would wear down over time and result in play in the cassette. Not only did the bushing wear, but the aluminum part of the hub that it moved against would wear down too so eventually the stock bushings wouldn't work anymore... I don't understand why Mavic didn't just put a second bearing on those freehubs.
They didn't do it properly because they're French. Engineering things differently just to be different.
I had that hub, worst wheel I have ever owned.
Because Mavic degradated with the whole bicycle market. Thanks to Rohloff, I have to ride somewhat not being a marketing part planned to die in 2-3 years of normal usage.
Yes, this is the reason why I never bought their wheels - the stupid bushing design.
This new DT Swiss ratchet copy looks promising though.
Any knowledgeable or true history would have included their lows and their highs to give a true reflection of their history and development / Im in the middle of fixing the truly awful wheel hub from an old SLE COSMIC REAR WHEEL ridiculous amounts of play in the bushing; have had to order the hub doctor kit from america to solve.
Cool ad bro
Very nice video... as a matter of today and this video was release current year 2018... I was told by my bicycle mechanical .. that there are better options than Mavic wheels... can you make a comparison ... and point out the differences... pros, cons.. but focused on XC... Thanks.
what mavic rim is that hung behind you on the wall the one enclosed in the poster ?
Good content.
I have these yellow Mavic wheels on my yeti sb66.
very dashing
Is there any conceivable way to install an XD driver on the relatively old FTS-X hub?
My rear axle got stuck after a day of riding in very muddy and wet conditions. I'm riding Mavic xa pro carbon 2017, similar or same as Doddy holds in 13:21. Finding out how to open it, check the bearings, clean it using right grease and seal it again while not damaging any part of it, is a tricky task if you're not a pro. Might be very useful to make a video for this particular maintenance task (haven't found any on GMBN Tech). I believe it would save some pain to many fresh Mavic riders!
Is it possible to install the sram torque caps on a mavic xa pro front wheel/hub (2018 mod,) ?
Now I know how cool the Mavic wheels are on my Capra lol.
Took my 2019 XA carbon 27.5X30 wheels for their maiden voyage this afternoon on my 2018 Spectral 6.0, I cant believe how QUIET that hub is and the 40 engagement is great. Glad I bought them, one look at the rim and you can see the significant offset, between the new wheels and tire change from DHF to Vittoria Mezcal G+ 2.6 are MUCH smoother and better suited to my type of riding and also dropped exactly 1 pound
Muy buen información saludos desde argentina men
To see how the hub works you pawl it apart (ba dum tss)
Spike Spikus
Hubba hubba
😂
Nice
Great video, and I'm a Mavic fan.
Question, what are the differences between Mavic Crossmax Pro 27.5 vs Mavic XA Pro 27.5?
Please, thank you.
Crossmax pro is lighter I think
sick!
I have a Mavic 500 front hub laced to an old campagnolo rim sitting around I didn’t realize they were made in 1975
#askgmbntech hey doddy I have just bought a 2007 giant glory with a rockshox boxxer race on it for some reason it seems to feel sticky and not very plush and the rear shock is a fox dhx 5.0 and it it feels far too is it just the Bottom-out resistance increased too much. the spring is the right one for me what is the problem please help
You had me at yellow rims
Hi GMBN, As hard as I try I cannot pull off the freehub. Is there a version of the id360 that you cannot just pull off?
I like the maxxis cross ride disc and rim 💯🤟
Nice story Doddy
Are you going to turn this into a series Doddy? Would be cool to find out the evolution of other companies for different parts of the bike. Maybe you could talk about brakes next.
Not a bad idea! Thanks for the suggestion.
I have a wheel with a mavic id360 hub and at the moment there is a xd freehub body mounted, I'm not sure how I can get it of, I ordered a compatible microspline freehub body directly from mavic, but still have no idea how I can do that, in your video you just pull the Endcaps off but I can't pull them of, its a new rear wheel, I see a black ring with 5 holes facing outward of the xd freehub body do I have to remove that and if so which direction is loose?
Can the ID60 System be fitted into a crossmax XL 2015 Wheelset? Or similar products? Or is this system just compatible with new hubs?
The new mavic hubs are Very similar to the dt swiss ratchet system.... I've used shimano xtr hubs, mavic sx its, hope pros, easton m1's, sun ringle chargers but have to say that the dt 240 hubs have been the most robust and reliable of them all!
Are they using PTFE on the teeth? (18:45)
Must it connect on free Wheeling it like on a down hill?
How does it handle extreme speeds?
Near sound barrier speeds?
17:35 Do a 51 tooth sprocket really put more load on the hub?
I know that the torque increase with diameter, but i would still expect the same power at a smaller sprocket would be just as bad.
That was actually very informative. 👍🏽‼️
