Pros
Mavic Aksium Disc wheels offer unusually good value for money. |
The Aksium Disc wheelset is equipped with durable and well-sealed Mavic QRM 2RS bearings. These are less likely to be affected by dirt and moisture, which makes them last longer. |
The 17 mm wide rim can accommodate tyres that are 25 to 32 mm wide. |
If you register the wheels on Mavic's website, the manufacturer warranty is extended from 2 to 3 years. |
Internal rim width of 18 mm, which is 4 mm smaller than the CR1600. This makes for a lighter wheelset and a better fit with 23 and 25 mm tyres. |
32 stands for the rim depth; 23 is also available. 32 mm is stiffer and has better power transfer, while 23 mm is more comfortable and lighter. |
The PR1600 wheels are of a higher segment in the DT Swiss range compared to the P1800; the former have a better bearing quality, and are lighter and stiffer. |
The DT Swiss 350 hubs with the ratchet system engage quickly, which ensures fast acceleration after taking a turn. |
Internal rim width of 20 mm, which is 2 mm wider than the PR1600. This ensures more comfort and stability, ideal for tyres from 30 mm upwards. |
32 stands for the rim height, 23 is also available. 32 mm is stiffer and has better power transfer, while 23 mm is lighter and gives more comfort. |
The DT Swiss 350 hubs with the ratchet system engage quickly, which ensures rapid acceleration after biking around corners. |
The spokes are made extra thick on the ends so that the risk of spoke breaks is reduced. |
The ER 1600 wheels are a higher class in the DT Swiss range compared to the E 1800, these wheels have a better bearing quality, and are lighter and stiffer. |
Cons
The Mavic Aksium wheelset is only available with a Shimano 10-11 speed freehub body. A Mavic FTS-L Campagnolo freehub is optionally available. |
Although the weight is relatively low, it can still be a bit too deep for competition riders. For an even lower weight you can look at a DT Swiss wheel set in the PRC series. |
Although the 32 mm version offers more stiffness, you compromise on comfort compared to the 23 mm. |
With a weight of more than 1760 grams, these wheels are on the heavy side when you have a lot of climbs ahead of you. |
