Mavic R-SYS SLR (Tubular)

Brand:Mavic

Code:MVWR003

The Mavic R-SYS SLR Wheelset has proved to be one of the most popular long-haul wheelsets among dedicated sportive riders for the simple reason that they are both light and extremely comfortable. Married with the impressive longevity and remarkable braking consitency of the Exalith treated rim, these are a sensible purchase for anyone looking to spend money on a wheelset that will serve for thousands of comfortable miles in the saddle. The use of a tubular tyre helps to further reduce the weight and increase the reactiveness of the wheels.

The improved braking surface and brake pad compund for 2013 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 2013 and the addition of grooves to the tyres makes them better stoppers in the wet. The Griplink compound used in 2012 now becomes the Powerlink compound, with an entirely new and very sticky rubber compound is 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. In addition, the 2013 R-SYS SLR not only feature the distinctive machining between the spokes on the rim bridge but also on the sidewalls - a process referred to by Mavic as ISM3D - which further removes excess material to reduce weight.

We would buy the Mavic R-Sys SLR purely for their aesthetic value if nothing else; that 'Exalith' rim looks absolutely fantastic, stealth doesn't quite describe just how black the coating is. 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 to all intents and purposes about four times harder than anodised coatings and about seven times as wear resistant. As such as we've stated; when you receive the wheels the coating is incredibly stealthy, so black that it sucks in all surrounding light which looks amazing, not least with the superb Yksion tyres that Mavic provide. There is a specific set of brake pads that comes with the wheels, produced by Swisstop these are essentially the same compound as the aforementioned company's Green compound, but with Mavic's proprietary 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 regardless of weather and they make a fantastic buzz too if that is going to swing it! 

On both the front and rear wheels the spokes and hubs are identical to those of the R-SYS; carbon Tracomp spokes on the non-drive side and aluminium on the drive, whilst the front wheel uses the Tracomp spokes exclusively. The Tracomp spokes are interesting in that they work in both compression and tension so provide superb responsiveness when climbing or sprinting, not to mention the natural propensity of carbon to be comfortable which makes them an ideal sportive wheel.

The hubs bot use the QRM+ bearings for a buttery smooth ride and are double sealed for longevity. Both hubs use an Exalith coated lightweight shell as you would expect from such a high-end wheelset.

The weight for the pair of wheels (without tyres) is 20g lighter than the clinchers at just 1275g and with tyres is 1735g, 100g lighter than the clincher version.

The wheels come with tools, wheel bags, brake pads, quick releases and tyres.
