Light and nimble alloy rim
Multipatented ISM4D brings rim weight and inertia to a level that is out of reach of our competitor, for unsurpassed climbing and descending abilities
Strong and stiff
Fore drilling makes for a solid rim/spoke connection while ensuring high rim stiffness and perfectly sealed rim bed for simple tubeless compatibility
Isopulse lacing ensures high stability and lateral stiffness
For over a decade, Ksyrium Elite has stood for reliability, light weight and versatility. This latest version includes all the benefits of riding tubeless. Mavic's Road UST Technology reduces rolling resistance, while improving ride quality and puncture resistance when combined with the new 25mm Yksion Pro UST tires. The result is improved comfort without sacrificing efficiency. Beyond that, Mavic's patented Fore Drilling creates a stronger connection between the spokes and the rim, and Isopulse lacing improves stability and lateral stiffness under heavy loads such as sprinting or climbing. All these performance gains are achieved without added weight thanks to the exclusive patented ISM 4D rim technology. This process strategically removes excess material from the rim while maintaining it around the spokes, where tension is applied. The result is a wide yet super-light rim that weighs only 405g. The finish on the new Ksyrium Elite has also been upgraded with a combination of matte and gloss finishes. The wheel is available in three color options depending on your preference: grey on black; black with red highlights; and black with yellow highlights.
