Mavic Ksyrium SL Rim Brake Wheelset

Mavic Ksyrium SL Rim Brake Wheelset Info

The Mavic Ksyrium SL Rim Brake Wheelset is a lightweight, high-performance aluminum wheelset built for dependable everyday use. At 100 grams lighter than the previous Ksyrium Elite despite a wider rim, the SL retains exceptional durability thanks to ISM 4D technology, which mills away excess material between spokes while preserving structural integrity. Patented elliptical double-butted spokes reduce weight and improve aerodynamics, offering a 5-watt efficiency gain. Fore drilling leaves the upper rim bridge intact, increasing stiffness and eliminating the need for rim tape. Combined with the new rim bed shape and refined UST Road tubeless system, the Ksyrium SL is easy to set up and delivers better grip, comfort, and puncture resistance.

The 22mm deep, 19mm internal Maxtal aluminum rims are made in France and optimized for low inertia and high control. Mavic’s new Infinity hub platform uses a stiff axle, durable bearings, and balanced spoke lacing for improved wheel stability and responsiveness. Instant Drive 360 freehub technology enables rapid engagement and efficient power transfer, while QRM Auto bearing preload maintains smooth operation over time. The wheels are compatible with Shimano cassettes and can be converted to Campagnolo or SRAM XD-Road with optional freehub bodies. Designed for riders who want all-around performance without sacrificing reliability, the Ksyrium SL is a great choice for the rim brake rider who wants quality performance every day.
