Mavic Ksyrium SL Heritage Disc Wheels in Silver
If you've spent any time around road cycling, you'll know the Ksyrium name. Few alloy wheels carry that kind of reputation, and the Mavic Ksyrium SL Heritage Disc in Silver is a strong argument for why aluminium still has plenty to say in a carbon-obsessed world.
At 1,575g for the pair, the Mavic Ksyrium SL Disc weight is genuinely impressive for an alloy wheelset, and that's before you consider how well they ride.
What you're actually getting:
- A rim that earns its weight figure. The ISM4D rim comes in at just 400g. Patented lightweight aero spokes and a 22mm deep, 19mm wide profile keep inertia low without sacrificing crosswind stability. The solid upper rim bridge also removes the need for rim tape, saving another 60g straight out of the box.
- Stiff where it counts, forgiving where it matters. Fore technology keeps the rim upper bridge solid for lateral stiffness, while the vertical compliance soaks up the sort of road surfaces you'll regularly encounter on UK roads. The Infinity hub platform adds a stiff axle, durable bearings, and genuine wheel stability over long miles. ID360 freewheel technology sharpens power transfer too, so sprints feel more direct.
- Tubeless sorted, properly. Mavic's improved UST Road setup makes tyre mounting and changing far less of a faff than most tubeless systems. No tubes means less rolling resistance, better grip, and noticeably fewer punctures. Fore Carbon drilling technology means, again, no rim tape required.
Freehub compatibility at a glance:
- HG / M11 – Shimano HG Road 11/12-speed (other speeds with spacer)
- XDR – SRAM XDR
- ED11 – Campagnolo 9/12-speed
