Trusted Mavic technologies and design, packaged in a lightweight, durable rear wheel with a clean finish, this is a smart upgrade for any road rider still running stock wheels.
The Mavic Ksyrium S rim brake rear wheel is the kind of purchase that makes immediate sense. If your current wheels came fitted on the bike, swapping to Mavic Ksyrium quality is one of the easiest ways to wake up a road bike without touching the drivetrain or geometry.
The rim alone weighs just 430g, no rim tape is required (saving 60g over a traditional setup), and the whole thing is built around Mavic's Infinity hub platform, which combines a stiff axle, durable bearings and a hub design that keeps the wheel tracking true mile after mile.
For anyone running Shimano 11-speed, the HG freehub body fits straight on, and other speeds are compatible with a spacer.
The Ksyrium S is 60g lighter than the former Ksyrium UST, and measurably stiffer thanks to Fore technology, which keeps the upper bridge of the rim undrilled and structurally solid.
That means a laterally stiff rim that still absorbs enough road buzz to stay comfortable on longer rides. Add UST tubeless compatibility and you get lower rolling resistance, better grip, and a reduced risk of punctures without the weight penalty of an inner tube.
