Mavic Ksyrium SL Wheel Set

The new Mavic Ksyrium SL follows in the footsteps of the venerable Ksyrium Elite and Ksyrium Pro and takes them to the next level. It’s the perfect all-rounder for anyone looking for a wheel that performs reliably on the road every day. This new wheel is lightweight (100 g lighter than the previous Ksyrium Elite) and very durable thanks to ISM4D technology. This process removes excess material between the spoke holes, while the rim wall remains thick in the stressed areas. The double-butted, flat spokes reduce weight and increase responsiveness.
Fore technology optimizes stiffness, as the upper bridge is not drilled and no rim tape is required, which saves 30 g per wheel. The new rim bed makes tyre mounting and removing easier. The Infinity hub platform optimizes stiffness and power transmission, while the Instant Drive 360 freewheel with automatic bearing preload (QRM Auto) ensures fast engagement and durability.

Technologies

Fore Technology
Mavic’s Fore technology is the latest achievement from the traditional French manufacturer. It is the result of years of research and combines low weight and improved tubeless assembly with increased stiffness and ease of repair. Fore Technology is 10 % lighter and more stable than conventional wheel designs. Fore Technology spokes fit directly into a molded metal insert, eliminating the need to drill the upper rim bridge. This eliminates the need for rim tape, enables easy repair and saves an additional 30 g per rim.

Infinity hub
Mavic’s Infinity hub stands for optimum power transmission, durability and compatibility. The Instant-Drive 360 freehub technology ensures fast gripping under load with high stiffness and durability and offers automatic bearing preload adjustment (QRM Auto), which is easy to maintain without special tools. Designed for compatibility and ease of use, the Infinity hub can be converted to all major freewheel options and axle sizes.

UST Tubeless Technology
Traction, control and lightweight. The UST concept improves traction, control and comfort – while reducing inertia and puncture risk. Mavic’s tubeless design reduces rolling resistance, makes the wheel lighter and conjures up more riding comfort on the road.

QRM (Qualité de Roulements Mavic)
Qualité de Roulements Mavic. Mavic only uses high-quality, sealed cartridge bearings. On QRM wheels, they are double-sealed (2RS or LLU) and have a tight C3 internal clearance.
