Selling a rare and very clean set of Mavic Ksyrium Elite SLS wheels, white/satin black finish. These are Near-NOS condition: rims and braking surfaces are clean, hubs spin smoothly, minimal cosmetic wear. Tires are included.
The design of this particular Ksyrium generation is especially striking with portions between the spokes milled both from the side and from the top. Rims have this distinct industrial angular “fluted” look to them that is very unique. Carbon-fiber shell on the front hub, and a single white-painted spoke on each wheel. Rims are anodized black. Set includes matching Mavic Yksion GripLink tires.

Mavic is a company with a long heritage. They built the world's first aluminum bicycle rims back in 1934.
The Ksyrium Elite SLS was one of Mavic’s premium alloy clinchers in the 2013-2016 era. The SLS line borrowed many features from Mavic’s higher-end wheelsets: lightweight rims, machined braking surfaces, and refined engineering for reduced rotational weight. Mavic developed the ISM 3D machining to remove excess material inside the rims around spoke holes, while leaving strength where it counts — this contributes to light weight without sacrificing durability. Collectors and riders often cite this generation of Ksyrium Elites as among the best looking and best riding alloy wheels of the modern era.
