Mavic Deemax
Been riding these for about a month now. I have the 2008 model (the yellow ones)rear rim is built up with a 150 mm saint hub which has actually been pretty good so far. super strong and durable been straight as a dime. But with a single ply tire they flat ALOT the front one has been fine though. So I put a dual ply tire on the rear and its been pretty good so far. These rims look AMAZING on my ride. no one notices anything but the rims!
I have the 2010 silvers. They're crazy light, they roll great, they're strong as f*ck and have never dented or bent at all. They look bad ass. What's not to like.
Get a Mavic spoke key cuz sometimes the spokes can loosen often. Just keep an eye on 'em and you'll be all good.

The bomb dot com. Thats all thats gotta be said. These babies are bomb proof. I've had mine for a couple years now and love them. A tad on the heavy side but the reliability and the strength make up for it. Will buy another set if these things ever blow out
Performance in DH racing and extreme freeride is a subtle compromise between strength and weight, lateral stiffness and vertical compliance, stability and maneuverability. The new Deemax found the sweet spot on all of those and will provide you with a sharp edge on your toughest competition. A totally new freehub design for faster engagement, a more compliant rim for better control and hundreds of grams lighter make this the best Deemax ever. Rear wheel available in 135 or 150.
using the yellow deemax from 08. had a set for dirt jumping, held well but poped out spokes on hard impacts. not a very good dirt jump set. used a rear for dh. constant truing needed and constant spoke tension adjustments on the brake side. overall still strong and strait. hub in great condition. good hassle free race set.
Bomb proof. I ride these on all my bikes. And nothing compares to these. I've tried so many rims and once I bought these for once season. The next season I went out and ordered front and rear deemax rims on all of my dh, and fr hard tail bikes. Thanks to the folks at Mavic.
i have the Deemax ultimates and they are the best wheels i have ever owned, they are pretty light and increadibly strong however they are really expensive, i recon they are worth every penny tho. They are super stiff, it's hard to dink the rims and they look the shizzz aswell lol
I have the 2008 model (yellow). They are light and tough. No more flats!!!! That alone is amazing. This should be your # 1 criter, believe me!!!! I haven't tried any other high end tubeless wheel sets but these are far in front of my old Sun DoubleTracks wich were heavy and always on pinch flats. Plus the look of those wheels is awesome.
I own the 2010 deemax in stainless, The best wheels I have ever owned! Mavic is the greatest, super light, super strong, just Awesome! has the ust tubless option which is a great way to save weight and get better performace (in my opinion) outta your wheel set.
Tough as wheels, can take quite a beating and still remain true, and they're still pretty damn light. Hub has a nice click with the 36 tooth engagement system and it rolls very smoothly 
indestructible! staying light and true after a full race season. broke 3 spokes and they still were true, an amazing wheel Love my Ultimate's in the fast yellow
very strong rim and hub, smooth as silk and strong as rock, but still quite flexible to forgive mistakes and hard impacts.
Came stock on the '07 Kona Stinky Primo and are awesome and still true after a couple of serious cases. Love the wheel
best wheel i have rode in my like i thinks is the best wheel made ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
