According to the product specialist
Pros
The Mavic Cosmic Elite UST wheels are a perfect all-round wheelset for all weather conditions. They are highly reliable and durable. |
The UST tubeless system involves a tight union between rim and tyre to keep the tyre at the right pressure without the use of latex. The tyre can even be inflated with a regular bike pump. |
The Cosmic Elite wheels feature durable and well-sealed Mavic QRM 2RS bearings. These are not easily affected by dirt and moisture, which makes them last a long time. |
If you register the wheels on the Mavic website, the manufacturer's warranty is extended from 2 years 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. |
The low weight of 1595 grams offers numerous advantages, such as easier acceleration after a turn and faster uphill riding. |
Excellent all-round wheelset because of their balance between rigidity, weight, and rim depth. |
Good power transfer thanks to the G3 spoke pattern, the high flange and shorter spokes in the rear wheel. |
These wheels are very popular because of their extremely interesting price/performance ratio and are the counterpart to the Fulcrum Racing 3 at a more interesting price level. |
Multi-purpose from training to racing, both in hilly terrain and on flat roads. |
Cons
The UST technology is most effective with Mavic UST tyres. Other tubeless tyres fit the rim less perfectly. |
Not a full carbon wheel, but rather an aluminium wheel with a carbon cover to enhance the aerodynamics. |
The larger distance between the individual spokes makes it harder to true the wheel. |
