KSYRIUM SKSYRIUM SKSYRIUM SKSYRIUM SKSYRIUM S
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.

Our new Infinity hub platform optimizes stiffness and power transfer with highly controlled spoke tension, while an Instant Drive 360 freewheel coupled with our automatic bearing preload adjustment (QRM Auto) delivers fast engagement and durability. The Ksyrium S doesn’t just ride fast, it looks fast too. Matte painted hubs, invisible rim welding and deep black spokes give this wheelset a premium look that stands out from the crowd.
It's available for Shimano cassettes, and can convert to Campagnolo or XD-Road with optional driver bodies.

Key technology

Efficiency RigidityUST tubeless technology
Traction and control Universal Standard for Tubeless. Ready to ride tubeless system. The UST concept improves traction, control and comfort whilst reducing inertia and flats.
Efficiency RigidityInstant Drive 360 freewheel technology
The new Instant Drive 360 freewheel system is super light and efficient. A large contactless rubber seal provides low friction, while a wide array of end caps makes it super versatile.
Efficiency RigidityIsopulse lacing design
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.
LightnessMaxtal aluminum alloy
Light and strong Exclusive to Mavic, this specific aluminum alloy offers a higher strength to weight ratio than conventional 6106 alloy.
Safety ReliabilityQRM Auto bearing preload technology
Qualité de Roulements Mavic Auto Our 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.
Safety ReliabilitySUP welding technology
Stronger and smoother joint Soudé Usiné Process. After bending, the rim joint is arc welded. The welded seam is then milled for a smooth finish.
Safety ReliabilityInfinity hubs
Efficiency RigidityFore tapeless tubeless technology
Stiffer and stronger Instead of being drilled, the lower rim bridge is pushed up on the inside, then threaded to enable the spoke nipples to be directly screwed in it, leaving the upper rim bridge intact.
