Mavic Ksyrium SL Disc Road Wheels Tubeless Ready Shimano Campagnolo SRAM

Experience the advanced engineering of the Mavic Ksyrium SL Disc Wheels, a benchmark in aluminium road wheel technology. These wheels expertly combine a lightweight construction with exceptional durability, delivering a ride that balances lateral stiffness and vertical compliance. Designed to enhance braking precision and offer effortless tubeless compatibility, the Ksyrium SL Disc wheels provide a smooth, efficient cycling experience suitable for both demanding road conditions and everyday use. Their innovative design ensures that cyclists can confidently push their limits while enjoying reliable performance.

Building on the proven legacy of the Ksyrium Elite and Ksyrium Pro series, the Ksyrium SL Disc wheels set new standards for aluminium wheelsets. Featuring a superlight ISM4D rim weighing only 400g, paired with patented aerodynamic spokes and a refined rim profile, these wheels reduce rotational inertia for faster acceleration and superior handling. The solid upper rim bridge eliminates the need for rim tape, contributing to weight savings without sacrificing strength. Additionally, the Infinity hub platform guarantees optimal stability and power transfer, while UST Tubeless technology enhances grip and reduces puncture risk across varied road surfaces. Discover these wheels within our road cycling collection to elevate your cycling performance.

Manufactured with precision using Maxtal aluminium alloy, the Ksyrium SL Disc wheels offer an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Incorporating Fore tapeless tubeless technology improves stiffness and ride quality, while the Instant Drive 360 system ensures rapid engagement and long-lasting durability. The double-butted aero spokes contribute to watt savings and improved responsiveness, complemented by the QRM Auto bearing preload system that maintains smooth rotation without play. Compatible with Shimano, Campagnolo, and SRAM XD-Road freehub bodies, these wheels provide versatility for serious road cyclists seeking dependable, high-performance components.
