Mavic Ksyrium SL Wheel - Clincher One Color, Front Overview

Mavic's Ksyrium series of wheels has captured the hearts and minds of cyclists worldwide. Especially at the high end of the Ksyrium range, you get extreme performance at a moderate price. The Ksyrium SL Wheelset is built with technical advantages such as bladed Zicral alloy spokes for an unbeatable combination of aerodynamics, durability, and lightness. You get Mavic's UB Control and SUP rim treatments, which means you'll get consistent, reliable day-in/day-out performance thanks to their perfectly machined braking surface and welded/machined rims. Also, the Ksyrium SL Wheels get Mavic's ISM milling of the rim between spokes to minimize rim weight.The front rim on the Ksyrium SL Wheelset is only 22mm deep, essentially the same depth as an Open Pro rim. This makes it lighter, and it has the incidental advantage of being a more stable wheel in cross winds and at high speeds on descents (after all, if you're using these in the mountains, you have to go down, too!) The rear rim depth on the Ksyrium SL is 25mm. The reasoning behind this is that it gives the rear wheel added rigidity and resistance to flex, which according to Mavic gives it superior power transfer. Note the oversized hubs, they use carbon fiber shells along with aluminum flanges, explicitly designed to shave a few extra grams from the total weight of the wheels. These wheels come with Mavic's QRM+ bearings -- they're double-sealed for longevity, and each hub allows for micro-fine preload adjustment for precise bearing.The Ksyrium SL Wheelset is light enough for race day, yet tough enough for year-round training. The front wheel has 18 radially laced spokes, and the rear wheel ups that number to 20, with Mavic's Isopulse spoking pattern to provide optimum power transfer. They include a Zicral spoke-specific wheel magnet, a truing wrench and bearing adjustment tool. They're available with either a Campagnolo-specific or Shimano/SRAM-specific freehub body.
