I have ridden Mavic Kysrium wheel’s for a couple of years and they are a pretty versatile and reliable wheel. I once had a problem with the bearings, which needed fixing but apart from that they are quite sturdy.
The advantages of the Mavic Kysrium’s include
- Light enough to race. I have used them for hillclimbs, (although I now use Zipp 404 tubulars.)
- Strong and reliable for year round training.
- Look good. I don’t know why but I love the look of the silver straight spokes.
Mavic Kyrsrium’s £279
Other features include:
- Easier handling with a lower inertia front rim
- Maxtal, SUP rim with Fore drilling, profiled straight-pull spokes
- 18 spokes
- Alloy hubs with QRM+ bearings
- FTS-L freewheel system
- Supplied with q/r mechs
- Rear wheel bearing adjustment tool and spoke keys
Mavic Ksyrium SL Premium Wheel Set is twice as expensive coming in at £549 . However, for a clincher their weight is impressively low and this is not at the expense of strength and performance.
