Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLE Wheels

Season:2015

Brand:Mavic

Code:MCCSLE

The Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLE was originally a stop-gap wheel and it wasn't intended that it be around for long. However, it has proved to be such a great value and desirable wheel that Mavic have not only continued to produce it but have improved and updated it.

The weight for the pair has been reduced by 120g in this 2nd generation version, this weight saving has come from an improved hub /spoke combination and sees an improved Exalith rim surface and re-designed brake pad. The improved braking surface and brake pad compound help eliminate the squealing experienced by some users as the rim surface 'rubbers in'. In addition the Mavic Yksion Powerlink and Griplink tyres have undergone a facelift for 2015 and the addition of grooves to the tyres makes them better stoppers in the wet. The Griplink compound used in earlier versions now becomes the Powerlink compound, with an entirely new and very sticky rubber compound used for this years Griplink. The tyres also have a narrower profile and have had the excess fat trimmed from them in order to save weight.

We love all the Exalith wheels, the braking is fantastic and they look incredibly cool, but we will get onto that later. Firstly lets talk about the weight; bear in mind that Mavic make arguably the best factory built aluminium rims on the planet and it is this experience that gives rise to the Cosmic Carbone SLS and the Cosmic Carbone SLE. The fact that Mavic use their aluminium rims as a basis means that there is bags of stiffness and a light weight at a good price. Any fully carbon wheel at this kind of price will more than likely be about as stiff as a jelly sweet. if you read the description for any of the Ksyrium series then you will understand what we are talking about; some of the best riding everyday wheels we have ever used, all at superb price points. 

The brake track of the rims use Mavic's 'Exalith' treatment. The actual name for the coating is 'Keronite' and was developed during the 1960s space programme in order to produce lightweight, corosion resistant and strong parts. Keronite is not disimilar to anodised coating, however it is not deposited onto the rim, rather it is grown from the respective metal (here Mavic use aluminium). To use the scientific parlance it is a 'plasma electrolytic oxidation' and to you and I means that a very hard and very dense ceramic coating of about ten microns thick is stuck fast on the rim. It is for all intents and purposes about four times harder than anodised coatings and about seven times as wear resistant. As such when you receive the wheels the coating is incredibly stealthy, so black that it sucks in all surrounding light and we must say it looks absolutely fantastic, not least with the superb Mavic YKS tyres that they provide. There is a specific set of brake pads that comes with the wheels, produced by Swisstop this compound has been tweaked this year to further quieten the bedding in phase of the brakes and to improve all-round braking and uses Mavic's proprientry cut pattern to minimise squeal. The first set of these will wear down very quickly, until a deposit is left on the rim. However we must say that the braking on these rims is impressively good especially in the wet which is quite often a failing of carbon rims - regardless of their price; they make a fantastic buzz too if that is going to swing it!

The hubs use the excellent sealed cartridges from Mavic and as such roll with a buttery smoothness.

These wheels ship with the proprietry brake pads, wheel bags, valve extenders, tyres, tubes and quick releases.
