This is usually where you would find this kind of information, but Mavic does not supply this on their public site. They do have a "dealers only" tech support site that you need user/password to access. The killer is that the dealer-only site is kind of a joke, and there is very little useful information. Another "feature" is that they calculate E.R.D. differently from the rest of the world. They don't account for the thickness of the nipple head. This is why you see "add 3mm" for Mavic rims in SpoCalc. E.R.D. is supposed to include that.

The tension spec asked for by the OP is 90-110kgF. That is what is stated on their site for ALL Mavic rims. If you call Mavic on the phone they will tell you the same thing. The $64 question is how Mavic has managed to get all of their rims to tension in the same range. If you tension your fronts to 110 on both sides and your rear to 110 on the drive side you'll be fine.
