“Amazing ride quality.” That’s how riders often describe their experience with Ksyrium wheels. Now we’ve made this versatile wheel system even better by improving the component that matters most: the rim. The box section rim extrusion and low spoke count produces a smooth and comfortable ride, and our patented ISM (Inter Spoke Milling) technology is used to further reduce weight. Lighter weight means lower inertia, and that leads to easier climbing and faster acceleration.
The bladed spokes are radially laced on the front wheel for improved lateral stiffness. On the rear, we use our exclusive Isopulse lacing pattern (radial on the drive side, crossed two on the non-drive side) to balance the spoke tension. A wider drive side bracing angle creates higher lateral stiffness under heavy loads such as climbing or sprinting. The rims are paired with our proven QRM bearings and axle system, which minimises friction and ensures high durability with no service needed.
The wheels are fitted with 25mm Yksion Elite tyres, which offer the best blend of low rolling resistance and secure cornering grip in dry or wet conditions. With supple 120 TPI casings, front and rear specific tread patterns, and a weight of only 215g, they complement Ksyrium’s abilities to accelerate and climb.
