Mavic Ksyrium S UST wheelset

Trusted Mavic technologies and design, all packaged in a lightweight, durable wheelset with a stunning finish make this a smart upgrade for any road rider

This lightweight aluminum wheelset is a no brainer for anybody looking to make an easy upgrade from OEM wheels. The Ksyrium S can significantly boost any bike's performance and is an easy entry point to Mavic quality that doesn't take any shortcuts.
The Ksyrium S is 60g lighter than the former Ksyrium UST while also being wider, stronger and laterally stiffer. Stiffness is optimized using Fore technology. The upper bridge remains undrilled, optimizing strength and rigidity, and it doesn’t require the use of a rim tape, which saves another 30g per wheel. The rim bed’s new shape makes it easier than ever to mount and remove tires, and our UST Tubeless technology improves rolling resistance and grip while reducing the risk of punctures. Those rims are made in France, in our aluminum rim factory.

Technologies

UST Tubeless Ready tyre
Traction, control and lightweight. The UST concept improves traction, control and comfort while reducing inertia and flats. The 'tubeless ready' construction results in a lighter tyre for improved performance.

QRM Auto bearing preload technology
Mavic latest innovation. Those cartridge bearings are of course double sealed with C3 internal clearance. Their preload is automatically adjusted to guarantee a perfect spin with no play on the long run.

Instant Drive 360
The new Instant Drive 360 freewheel system is super light and fast to engage at a rotation with only 9°. A large contactless rubber seal provides low friction, while a wide array of end caps makes it super versatile.

• Oversize aluminium axle and hardened alloy freewheel driver body saves 40 g.
• 40 teeth dual ratchet system provides fast 9° engagement.
• Radial seal provides low friction for higher speed and perfect waterproofness.
• Comprehensive end cap adapters makes it compatible with any type of retention system and driver body (QR, 12x142, HG, ED…).

Isopulse
Optimum energy transfer
The spokes are laced radially on the drive side and crossed 2 on the non drive side to maximise drive side dish, thus providing a better spoke tension balance between left and right flanges.

• Higher stiffness under heavy loads for crystal clear energy transmission.
• Better wheel stability for fewer maintenance.
