Mavic 9mm adapter

Mavic 9 mm adapter: easily convert your 15 mm thru-axle wheel

Have a Mavic wheel with a 15 mm thru-axle but a fork or frame that only supports a 9 mm quick-release? Don’t worry — with a Mavic 9 mm adapter, you can easily convert your axle diameter to match your setup, without compromising on performance or safety.

What is a Mavic 9 mm adapter for ?

A wheel axle diameter converter allows you to mount a wheel designed for a 15 mm thru-axle into a fork or frame built for a 9 mm quick-release axle. It's the ideal solution if you’re switching frames, moving from a mountain bike to a gravel bike, or simply want to reuse a high-end wheelset on a new build.

The adapter typically consists of two aluminum or composite end caps that snap or press into the hub. Once in place, they reduce the internal diameter from 15 mm to 9 mm while maintaining perfect wheel alignment inside the fork.

Technical specifications of the Mavic 9 mm adapter

Here are the typical features you’ll find on a Mavic 9 mm adapter for 15 mm axles:

• Conversion: adapts to a standard 9x100 mm quick-release axle.

• Material: CNC-machined aluminum or reinforced polymer for a balance of strength and lightweight.

• Easy installation: no special tools required — installs by hand.
