Lightweight and very durable, laterally stiff but vertically compliant, the Ksyrium SL raises the bar, setting a new standard for aluminium road wheels. Ksyrium has always represented the best of aluminium wheel technology. Following in the footsteps of the venerable Ksyrium Elite and Ksyrium Pro, the Ksyrium SL takes it to the next level. It is the perfect all-rounder for those seeking a wheel that delivers reliable everyday performance on the road.
This wheel is lightweight and durable as ever thanks to Mavic's patented ISM4D technology. This manufacturing process removes all excess material between each spoke hole while keeping the rim wall thick enough where spoke tension and stress is the highest.
The double-butted spokes further reduce weight while making the wheel more responsive. These spokes also have a patented elliptical shape that can save 5 watts for added efficiency.
Stiffness is optimised using Fore technology. The upper bridge is not drilled, so it remains strong and rigid and does not require the use of a rim tape (another 30g saved per rim). The rim bed's shape makes it easier than ever to mount and remove tyres, and the UST Tubeless technology improves rolling resistance and grip while reducing the risk of punctures. The Infinity hub platform optimises stiffness and power transfer with highly controlled spoke tension, while the Instant Drive 360 freewheel coupled with the automatic bearing preload adjustment (QRM Auto) delivers fast engagement and durability.
Available for Shimano cassettes, and can convert to Campagnolo or SRAM XD-Road with optional driver bodies.
Features:
- Superlight and Durable: ISM4D rim weighs only 400g.
- Low Inertia: Patented lightweight aero spokes and 22mm deep/19mm wide rims keep inertia low and control high.
- Tapeless Tubeless: Solid upper rim bridge eliminates the need for rim tape, saving 60g.
- Lateral Stiffness: Fore technology keeps the rim upper bridge solid to make the rim stiffer.
- Wheel Stability: Infinity hub platform features a stiff axle, durable bearings, and a new hub design.
- Improved Power Transfer: ID360 freewheel technology.
- UST Road Benefits: No tubes means less friction, improved efficiency and grip with reduced risk of punctures.
- Easy Tyre Changes: Rim bed shape makes it easier to mount and change tyres.
Mavic Technologies:
- Maxtal Aluminium Alloy: Light and strong. Exclusive to Mavic, this specific aluminium alloy offers a higher strength to weight ratio than the conventional 6106 alloy.
- ISM 4D Light Rim Technology: Inter Spoke Milling 4 Dimensions is an exclusive Mavic patented concept. Significantly reducing weight and inertia without compromising durability. Quicker accelerations, better handling and more resistance. The smooth profile also helps reduce aerodynamic drag.
- Fore Tapeless Tubeless Technology: Stiffer and stronger. Instead of being drilled, the lower rim bridge is pushed up on the inside, then threaded to enable the spoke nipples to be directly screwed in it, leaving the upper rim bridge intact.
- Instant Drive 360 Technology: Super light and efficient. The large contactless rubber seal provides low friction, while a wide array of end caps makes it super versatile.
- Isopulse Lacing Design: Optimum energy transfer. The spokes are laced radially on the drive side and crossed 2 on the non-drive side to maximise the drive side dish, thus providing an improved spoke tension balance between left and right flanges.
- UST Tubeless Technology: Traction and control. The UST concept improves traction, control and comfort whilst reducing inertia and flats.
- SUP Welding Technology: Soude Usine Process, stronger and smoother joint. After bending, the rim joint is arc welded. The welded seam is then milled for a smooth finish.
- Infinity Hub Design: An ultra reliable, high performance hub. Efficient power transfer thanks to the optimised non-contact spoke lacing and tension distribution. The length of the spokes are identical on the front and rear.
- QRM Auto Bearing Preload Technology: Qualite de Roulements Mavic Auto. Cartridge bearings are double sealed with e3 internal clearance. Preload is automatically adjusted to guarantee a perfect spin with no play on the long run.
