Mavic Ksyrium Pro Exalith SL : Clincher Wheels

Season:2016

Brand:Mavic

Code:MKPESL

The Ksyrium wheel platform has undergone huge evolution over the years and remains one of the most consistently well received all-round wheel options available. Continually developed to ensure excellent performance, Mavic's careful approach to balancing the elements of stiffness, low weight, responsiveness and comfort have ensured that the Ksyrium range has remained at the forefront of the mid-section, do-it-all wheel market for nearly 2 decades.

The new Ksyrium Pro Exalith SL continues where the Ksyrium SLR left off with some tweaks to keep it at the top of the pile.

The Exalith 2 treatment that adorns many of Mavic's aluminium wheels was developed during the 1960's space program under the name 'Keronite'. It is effectively 'grown' from the base material (aluminium) in a process called 'plasma electrolytic oxidation'. The resulting coating is extremely hard and very dense; for all intents and purposes it is around 4 times harder and 7 times more wear-resistant than an anodized finish and in addition to the welcome durability this brings it also has the added aesthetic benefit of being black which gives a stunning look to the wheels.

The Pro Exalith SL is lighter than it's predecessor at 1355g without tyres. The low weight stems from using Double Butted 'Zicral' spokes, which in and of themselves convey superb stiffness without compromising on strength - and by the application of Mavic's Inter-Spoke Milling : ISM 4D. This milling process removes unnecessary material from the rim around the spokes and is done so in a way that keeps the shape rounded rather than square - contributing to a lower weight but also a more aerodynamic profile. The use of the company's carbon Tracomp spokes in the rear wheel also serves to enhance the aerodynamic benefits with a rounder profile that reduces drag.

The stiffness of Mavic's Ksyrium Pro Exalith SL is achieved in part by directly screwing the Zicral spokes into the lower rim bed which is pushed in and threaded rather than being drilled; in real terms this increases the stiffness by 20% over the drilled method and conveys more strength by leaving the upper rim bridge intact. It also removes the need for a rim tape - which is a good thing. It is this stiffness which makes these wheels one of our favourites. Knowing that your bike will follow a direct line in a corner and the ability to swiftly accelerate add to the livliness of your ride and if these are an upgrade, will take your riding up a level by getting more from your bike. The addition of the Exalith treatment reduces braking distances by over 18% in the wet giving the rider even greater confidence. 

The Carbon Front hub body of the SLR is retained in the Pro Exalith SL and, like the rear, still houses the double-sealed, stainless QRM+ bearings that have served many of us without complaint through several seasons and some harsh winter conditions.

Like many of the wheels in Mavic's range the Ksyrium Pro Exalith SL feature Mavic's own tyres. The Mavic Yksion Powerlink and Griplink Pro tyres have undergone further refinement with improvements to the compounds of both tyres for enhanced durability, grip and feel generally and a more confident ride wet conditions. Tyres are exclusively 25mm for 2017 as the trend to wider tyres solidifies in the market.

It is a given from our love of the SLR that the new iteration should be among our favourite wheels. Incredible stiffness married to low weight gives incredible acceleration and cornering thanks to low inertia and make them easier to drive uphill. Good enough to take out on a daily basis; the exceptional QRM+ hubs will keep out even the most persistent water and grime while the durability of the braking surface means that you can use them all year round. The wheels are no slouches and are easily good enough for long mountain days or . If you need wheels for doing it all then these should be on the short-list.

Weight for the pair is 1355g without tyres.
