Mavic CXP14 vs Mavic CXP30

[Mark south wales]

isn't depth related - i've got a CXP14 650c front & CXP30 700c rear on one of my bikes - both identical depths of 30mm. my understanding is the difference is purely the price. Both bomb proof for the price.

what tyres are you using?

The numbers certainly aren't a reference to the rim depth. The CXP30 section was approximately 30mm in depth, but a CXP33 was substantially shallower...

My recollection is that the CXP14 was essentially a cheaper, un-machined version of the CXP30, while the CXP12 was a cheaper equivalent of the CXP33.

There are some details here:
