Mavic 12x142 rear wheel adapter

Optimize the compatibility of your MAVIC center lock 12 x 135 mm rear wheel with 12 x 142 mm thru-axle frames using this high-precision adapter

As cycling standards evolve rapidly, many riders find themselves with high-quality components… that no longer fit. If you own a MAVIC Center Lock rear wheel with 12 x 135 mm spacing and want to mount it on a frame with a 12 x 142 mm thru-axle, don't let that wheel gather dust. There’s a simple, reliable, and affordable solution: the MAVIC 12x142 adapter.

A smooth transition to the modern 12 x 142 mm standard

Modern bike frames increasingly use 12 x 142 mm thru-axles to improve hub stiffness, alignment precision, and overall performance. This standard is now widely adopted in MTB, gravel, and road cycling. However, it’s not always backward-compatible with older wheelsets.

That’s where the MAVIC 12x142 adapter comes in — a precisely engineered component designed to bridge the gap between the older 12 x 135 mm format and the new one. In just a few minutes, you can transform your wheel for full compatibility with your frame, without sacrificing drivetrain performance or safety.
