Rolling on with new rubber.

The 2015 Mavic Ksyrium SLS Wheel System rolls into this year with no mechanical or cosmetic changes, but with a fantastic new set of tires that'll take the set's performance to the next level.


The Ksyrium SLS wheelset achieves its feathery-light 1395g weight thanks mostly to the highly refined rim profile. After being extruded and rolled into a perfect circle, the rim faces are machined, for pulse-free braking. The inside of the rim is then machined using Mavic's ISM 3D technology to relieve any unnecessary material from around the spoke holes, while leaving plenty of meat to resist spoke pull-through.


You may be thinking that shaving off so much metal would result in a rim that's flexy, but you'd be forgetting about Mavic's FORE drilling. You see, while most rims are drilled through the outside to establish a spoke bed, Mavic only drills through the inner face of the rim, and adds a threaded insert. Between maintaining the integrity of the rim, and adding the threaded inserts, it yields a rim that's much stiffer than rims that are hundreds of grams heavier.


With all the effort put into lightening the rims, it's only fitting that the Ksyrium SLS gets a carbon-shelled hubset. Enhancing the lightness is an FTS-L freehub, which is built from aluminum, with two stainless steel inserts in between the hubshell and the pawls. What that means for you is the lightness of an alloy freehub, with the durability of a steel freehub. The hubs also benefit from Mavic's QRM+ technology, which employs double-sealed low-friction bearings. And they lace up with Zicral spokes, which have proven to be durable under heavier riders, while still being incredibly light.


An area of improvement for the 2015 Ksyrium SLS Wheel System is an entirely new pair of tires. Engineered in-house by Mavic and now produced by the world-renowned rubber masters at Hutchinson, the GripLink dedicated front tire and PowerLink dedicated rear tire are both 25mm-wide and feature new casings and new compounds, making for a completely new and enhanced experience.


The Mavic Ksyrium SLS Clincher Wheel System is sold as a set, with the option of either Shimano/SRAM or Campagnolo freehub bodies. The wheels with their included tires weigh approximately 1935 grams (1395g without the tires). Also included with the wheels are BR601 quick releases, a computer magnet, a multifunction adjustment wrench, and the owner's manual.
