Mavic Ksyrium SLS Tubular Wheelset

Ksyrium has always been synonymous with great overall performance and exceptional reliability. Now even lighter, even more responsive, and still as strong thanks to new super low inertia ISM3D rims, superlight hubs and spokes.

Key Features:

• Even more responsive - New low inertia ISM 3D rims Isopulse lacing and strong Zicral spokes GripLink / PowerLink tyres
• Even Lighter - Extralight ISM 3D rims New double butted Zicral spokes New lighter hub system
• Proven Mavic quality and durability - Strong rim: Maxtal alloy, Fore drilling High quality adjustable bearings: QRM+
• SUP - Stronger and smoother joint. Soudé Usiné Process. After bending, the rim joint is arc welded. The welded seam is then milled for a smooth finish.
• Isopulse - Optimum energy transfer. The spokes are laced radially on the drive side and crossed 2 on the non drive side to maximise drive side dish, thus providing a better spoke tension balance between left and right flanges.
• UB Control - Usiné Brut Control. The braking surfaces are precisely CNC machined.
• Maxtal - Light and strong. Exclusive to Mavic, this specific aluminium alloy offers a higher strength to weight ratio than conventional 6106 alloy.
• Fore - Stiffer and stronger. Instead of being drilled, the lower rim bridge is pushed up on the inside, then threaded to enable the spoke nipples to be directly screwed in it, leaving the upper rim bridge intact.
• QRM+ - Qualité de Roulements Mavic + Mavic's most demanding level. Those cartridge bearings are of course double sealed with C3 internal clearance, and topped with a micro-adjustability system.
• Zicral - Light, stiff and strong. A specific aluminium alloy that provides spokes with higher stiffness to weight ratio while being stronger.
• FTS-L - Force Transfer System Light. Reinforcement of key transmission components: the contact area between the pawl and the hub body is reinforced by 2 stainless steel inserts, which allows the use of a 100% aluminium hub body.
• ISM 3D - Super low inertia. Inter Spoke Milling 3 Dimension. ISM3D pushes the envelope of ISM one step further by not only machining the lower bridge of the rim between each spoke holes, but also its sidewalls.
• GripLink - Grip and Control. A front tyre, whether a clincher or a tubular, must fully liberate the wheel’s ability to hold the ground and control the bike. Therefore, GripLink tyres are optimized for front use, by offering a superior grip.
• PowerLink - Low rolling resistance. A rear tyre, whether a clincher or a tubular, must fully liberate the wheel’s ability to transfer power and generate speed. Therefore, PowerLink tyres are optimized for rear wheel use, by minimizing the rolling resistance.
