Description
With an internal rim width of 19 mm, you experience more comfort, grip and speed, but the rims can also handle more load. This together with the wider spokes prevents spoke breakages. The spoke tensions of the Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels are maintained longer and do not need to be tensioned or adjusted as often.
Mavic Care
Mavic Care allows you to extend your warranty to 3 years by registering your purchased wheelset on the Mavic website within 30 days. It also activates the crash replacement option which allows you to get up to 40% off a comparable product. You are eligible for this option if your wheel can no longer be repaired after a crash or accident.
MyMavic app
The MyMavic app (available from the App Store and Google Play) will advise on the correct tyre width and pressure to suit your rim width and surface.
Technology
(UST) Universal Standard for TubelessThe rim is ready to ride without an inner tube. Rim tape is therefore not necessary. The UST concept improves traction, control, and comfort while reducing inertia and punctures.
(ISM 4D) Inter Spoke Milling 4 Dimensions
An exclusive Mavic patented concept, ISM 4D reduces weight without sacrificing durability. Faster acceleration, better steering and more resistant to uneven ground. The smooth surface of the spokes also improves aerodynamics.
(Instant Drive 360)
The new Instant Drive 360 freewheel body system is super light and features a quick engagement ratchet system with only 9° of engagement. A large rubber seal provides low friction and a good seal. An oversized axle and the hardened aluminium body save 40 grams.
Zicral
Light, stiff and strong
A specific aluminium that gives spokes a better balance between stiffness and weight with a very high stiffness. Lighter spokes for easier climbing. Stiffer spokes for better power transfer. Stronger spokes for increased durability.
(FORE) Stiffer and stronger
Instead of drilling spoke holes through the rim, the holes are made on the inside of the rim to leave the outside of the rim intact. This makes the rim 4 times stronger in durability while also increase stiffness by 20% for maximum power transfer.
(SUP) Stronger and smoother rim joint.
Soudé Usiné Process. After bending the rim, the rim is connected with a treatment that makes it much stiffer and smoother.
(ISOPULSE) Optimal energy transfer
The spokes are radial on the non-drive side and cross-spoked over 2 on the drive side for maximum power transfer. It also creates a perfect balance between the spoke tension of the left and right side of the wheel.
Compatibility
• To be used with Shimano and/or Sram 9/10/11 speed groupsetDelivery includes
• Mavic Ksyrium SL wheelset• BR601 quick release skewers
• UST tubeless valves
• Owners manual
Assembly
• Cassette remover Shimano or Campagnolo• (possibly a torque wrench)
Installing a cassette on a wheel is easy if you have the right tools. If you purchase a cassette remover with a Shimano fit, you will be able to mount either a Shimano or Sram cassette on your rear wheel. Please note! For a Campagnolo cassette you need the Campagnolo tool. If you have a Shimano 9/10-speed cassette, first slide the spacer over the body. Then you place the cassette on the body. This can only be done in one way because of the fit of the body. Finally you turn the washer straight on by hand and tighten it with the cassette tool. Cassettes aren’t easily overtightened, but if you want you can use a torque wrench for this.
User tips
• Pay attention to the direction of travel when mounting your tyres.• For Shimano 9/10-speed, do not forget to mount the spacer first before installing the cassette.
• Make sure the rim tape is stuck well in the rim.

Good wheels
After more than 1000Kms, very satisfied with the purchase. They are still centred as the first day and do not make noises. The improvements compared to the old Ksyrium elite are noticeable. Very good in the mountains.

Wonderfully stiff but comfortable set of wheels
Replacement for my 8-year-old set of Ksyrium Elite's, which have seen a lot of mountains and descents. This set meets the high expectations: light, stiff and still comfortable.

rigid fine wheels
Very satisfied, I drive faster with it - maybe placebo, mar on my counter it is a fact
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Don't hesitate, do it.
Since I have had these wheels, I ride almost 1.5 kilometers per hour faster on my standard 50-kilometer round trip. The wheels are not only fast, but the width of the rim (19 mm inner width) makes them very comfortable. Previously, I bounced over the clinkers; with these wheels, it feels like I have suspension. I can't say much about durability yet, but the hubs are low maintenance and the spokes don't touch, which minimizes the chance of spoke breakage. I also really like the wheels, and for this price you can't find much else that is this light and strong.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Highly recommended product for optimizing or even transfiguring an already dated bike.
Rolling efficiency is transfigured compared to the Krisiums that equipped my Sensium 300 TP. I feel like I've gained a cog and 2 km/h on average inclines. Braking has become more efficient. On steep inclines, relaunching is immediate, and the bike feels more responsive and lighter than ever before. Yesterday, however, to climb the barrier (femée) above Chalet Reynard via Bédoin, I still had to put some serious pressure on the pedals, and these wheels, efficient as they are, are not an engine...
