For Mavic, it’s never been a question of sacrificing reliability for weight or stiffness. Instead the Ksyrium line has always offered the unbeatable combination of low weight, high stiffness, comfort and reliability. So when Mavic decided to give light carbon rims to the Ksyrium for the first time, they had to be the same - super light and totally reliable. Reach the top, fast. Thanks to several years’ research, this is one of the lightest carbon clincher rims on the market. They’ll get you to the top of the pass fast, but also fly you back down to the valley floor in total safety.
Exclusive Finite Element Simulation software allowed Mavic to choose the right fibres and resins, and tune their lay up to reach the sweet spot of lightweight and strength, while offering a wide tyre bed for improved air volume and ride quality. The round and smooth rim profile also makes it one of the most aerodynamic in its category for superfast descents. iTgMax for brakingBraking performance is guaranteed by Mavic's breakthrough iTgMax technology. Wrapped in an uninterrupted carbon sheet, their clincher moulding process is very unique. The resin used is enhanced through a proprietary heat treatment protocol that makes it able to resist the highest heat for the highest durability ever seen on a carbon clincher rim.
The stopping power is unmatched thanks to the new laser preparation of the brake track. The spokes are bladed and double butted. Using 20 at the front and 24 at the rear gives high stiffness, low weight and long-term reliability. Instant Drive 360: the holy grail of hubs Ksyrium Pro Carbon SL C also debuts Mavic's new generation of freewheel system. Their Instant Drive 360 freewheel is the holy grail of hubs: low weight, low friction, fast engagement, high axle stiffness and great durability. If you need to service or adapt it, the tool-free design makes it simpler than ever.
Matching Yksion Pro tyres
This wheel comes with Yksion Pro tyres in a comfortable 25mm section. Used on the front wheel, Yksion Pro Griplink provides perfect steering, control and confidence when cornering fast whether dry or wet. The Yksion Pro Powerlink used on the rear wheel frees all your power thanks to super low rolling resistance. With its carbon clincher rim, the Ksyrium Pro Carbon SL C takes the Ksyrium family to a new level: the best blend of lightweight, durability and ride quality.
