We all know that new wheels are one of the smartest upgrades you can do to your bike and whether you're looking to drop a few grams, step up to tubeless technology, or run these as your race wheels or daily drivers and keep your stock wheels for spares, the Ksyrium UST WTS Wheel from Mavic fits the bill without breaking the bank. These wheels deliver the proven performance honed over 125-years of racing history delivered in a package that's ready to rock right out of the box. Developed as a system, the rims and tires work in unison for outstanding performance on the open road while remaining super easy to install or remove when it comes time for service. We see no reason to argue the merits of road tubeless anymore and consider it a moot point to debate and we'll quickly explain that our experience points to quicker rolling, more comfort, and the reduced likelihood of punctures. By removing the inner tube, the friction normally associated with that setup is eliminated, resulting in less rolling resistance and more speed with less effort. Tubeless also allows for the ability to ride with lower tire pressure without the fear of the dreaded pinch flat which results in a more comfortable ride with more traction. About the only thing we could possibly complain about with some other road tubeless setups are the frustration of install that usually manifests itself as an overly tight tire we must wrestle on the rim or an overly loose setup that doesn't capture air making beading up the tire a pain. Mavic addresses this by developing the rim and tire as part of its UST system, for an optimized fit that makes it easy to set up and rock solid in use. Mavic made a name for itself with its alloy manipulation, crafting the industry's lightest and most durable rims. It's well known that reducing rotational weight is essential on race bikes and cutting grams at the rims yields easier climbing and quicker accelerations. To achieve this, Mavic uses its exclusive Maxtal alloy whi...
