This limited edition wheelset celebrates Mavic's incredible 125 years in business. The Ksyrium 125 is a limited edition wheelset with only 6000 set being made that will appeal to collectors and riders seeking a distinct edge on the competition. This wheel is based on the strong, stiff, aerodynamic, comfortable and durable Mavic Ksyrium SLR with a lighter 4D milled rim and a stunning black with yellow detail color scheme. A perfect choice for those who take racing very seriously and desire a proven wheelset with a collectors edge. The front wheel is 605 grams and the rear wheel only weighs 765 grams. The set comes in at 1370 grams.

The Exalith treatment on the rims of the Ksyrium 125 does more than just provide stealth, dark-grey good looks. It is a process originally developed when the defense industry needed to increase the strength of the best aluminum alloys. You can expect this rim to last about 30% longer. A unique, textured brake track treatment reduces stopping distances by 20% and wet weather stopping is virtually like dry. The Exalith specific treatment on the rim actually penetrates the alloy, so the rim keeps its distinctive anthracite grey color for thousands of kilometers so these wheels will retain their show bike looks even with heavy use. You can use any brake pads, but the Mavic Exalith brake pads will last longer, brake more quietly and won't wear down as quickly.

Mavic uses a mix of carbon and Zircal aluminum spokes for the ideal balance of stiffness and comfort. The non-drive side uses ultra-light Tracomp carbon spokes. Under normal loads, wheel deflection is limited by the very high traction resistance of carbon fiber. Under greater loads, where a normal wheel would flex more because of one of its spoke loosening, Tracomp spokes enter into compression and keep supporting the rim, preventing any further wheel deflection. the drive side has the proven Zircal aluminum spokes.

Mavic includes a Griplink front tire and a Powerlink rear tire so you can get all the performance out of the wheels. This is more than a gimmick. We have found the Mavic tires last long and rolls fast like its name implies with the perfect amount of suppleness - not too stiff or too squishy. The tire also have a nylon, puncture resistant belt making this grippy and supple tire surprisingly flat resistant. Shimano/SRAM compatible - call for Campagnolo compatibility.
