According to the product specialist
Pros
The 19 mm wide rim makes it possible to mount tyres from 25 to 32 mm wide. The wide rim in combination with a wider tyre gives you a lot of comfort, grip and a low rolling resistance. |
The UST tubeless system has a tight connection between rim and tyre. This keeps the tire under pressure without latex and can even be inflated with a normal bicycle pump. |
The Aksium wheelset is equipped with durable and well-sealed Mavic QRM 2RS bearings. Dirt and moisture are less likely to affect the bearings, which improves the service life. |
After registering the wheels on the Mavic website, the factory warranty is extended from 2 to 3 years. |
The ideal choice if you are not familiar with carbon wheels: thanks to the 30 day money back guarantee you can try them out without any obligation. |
Thanks to the aluminium braking edges on these carbon wheels you always have good braking power, even in wet weather. |
The aerodynamic U-shaped rims are not wind sensitive and will keep your bike up to speed more easily. |
These wheels do not have a maximum rider weight, so they can take a beating and handle heavier or stronger riders well. |
Tubeless Ready (TLR) rims allow for quick conversion to a tubeless setup. If you do get a puncture, the hole is immediately filled by the latex in the tyre. |
This wheel set is the best available choice among aluminium wheels with its extremely low weight of 1493 grams and its excellent DT240S hubs. |
The PR 1400 DICUT 21 OXiC wheels have gorgeous features such as the all black brake tracks and diamond shaped hubs. |
The ceramic OXiC brake track increases brake performance and is subject to a lower degree of wear than regular aluminium brake tracks. |
With their low weight and 21mm rims these wheels are excellent for climbing and very suitable for all-round use |
These mid-height Fulcrum Racing 4 wheels offer more rigidity than the Fulcrum Racing 3 wheels. |
Good power transmission thanks to the high flange and shorter spokes in the rear wheel. |
Reduced risk of spoke fractures or blows in the wheels and therefore suitable for heavier riders with power in the legs. |
The rim width of 17 mm makes it possible to fit tires of 25 mm or wider for more comfort. |
The 35 mm high rim and flat spokes give you an aerodynamic advantage and increased stability in crosswinds. |
Cons
The Mavic Aksium Elite UST wheelset is only available with Shimano 10-11 speed body. A Mavic FTS-L Campagnolo body is available as an option. |
Not a full carbon wheel, but rather an aluminium wheel with a carbon cover to enhance the aerodynamics. |
For a DT Swiss wheel set with carbon rims the PRC series is recommended. |
If you often ride on rough, sandy surfaces there is a chance that the black OXiC brake track may eventually show signs of wear. |
The weight, on the other hand, is slightly higher compared to the Fulcrum Racing 3. |
Not suitable for tubeless riding. |
