Mavic R-SYS SLR Endurance Road Wheelset Review

• The Mavic R-SYS SLR wheelset is super light, highly respected and loaded with technology that delivers high-end performance. With carbon Tracomp spokes, Exalith 2 rims and superlight bearings, these wheels just roll on and on and on. They also come fitted with a set of Yksion Pro tyres so once out of the box, fit your cassette and away you go. Wheel Technology This R-SYS SLR wheelset offers aerodynamics, great versatility and performance which is due to the advanced technology used in the manufacturing process. GripLink (Grip and Control) – A front tyre, whether a clincher or a tubular, must fully liberate the wheel’s ability to hold the ground and control the bike. Therefore, GripLink tyres are optimized for front use, by offering a superior grip and extra puncture protection. PowerLink (Low Rolling Resistance) – A rear tyre, whether a clincher or a tubular, must fully liberate the wheel’s ability to transfer power and generate speed. Therefore, PowerLink tyres are optimized for rear wheel use, by minimizing the rolling resistance. ZICRAL – A specific aluminium alloy that provides spokes with a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio while being stronger. Tracomp – Extremely light Tracomp carbon fibre spokes work in traction and compression to provide a very high stiffness level in any circumstance. FORE – 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, leaving the upper rim bridge intact. ISM 4D (Inter Spoke Milling 4 Dimensions) – An exclusive Mavic patented concept, ISM 4D significantly reduces weight and inertia without compromising durability. Quicker accelerations, better handling and more resistance; the right mix to make the most of any ride. The smooth profile also helps to reduce aerodynamic drag. QRM SL (Qualité de Roulements Mavic) – Mavic only uses high quality sealed cartridge bearings. On QRM wheels, they feature double sealing (2RS or LLU) together with tight C3 internal clearance. EXALITH 2 (High Braking Performance) – The Mavic exclusive Exalith 2 technology for aluminium rims has been refined to provide a very high level of durability and braking performance in all weather conditions. Exalith 2 technology reduces braking distances by 18% in wet conditions, while keeping pad wear to normal levels. Using Exalith 2 tech not only creates a distinctive anthracite braking surface but penetrates the rim to delay wear. MAXTAL – Exclusive to Mavic, this specific aluminium alloy offers a higher strength to weight ratio than conventional 6106 alloy. FTS-L – Force Transfer System Light Reinforcement of key transmission components. The contact area between the pawl and the hub body is reinforced by two stainless steel inserts, which allows the use of a 100% aluminium hub body. SUP (Soudé Usiné Process) – After bending, the rim joint is arc welded. The welded seam is then milled for a smooth finish. This R-SYS SLR wheelset offers exceptional performance and durability, which is due to the advanced technology used in their manufacture.  For further information on the technologies listed above, you can see the Mavic Wheel Technology Chart and the Mavic Tyre Technology Chart where you will be able to read in more detail what is involved.

As with many cyclists, be it mountain bikers, BMX riders or road cyclists we want to take the time to make sure we get the best products. Where cycling is a passion for many we often invest a lot of our time and money into the hobby. And as we know, getting the right products can give us that small competitive advantage either over our actual competitors, our mates or even just beating our own goals. But because we do invest so much in our bikes and our equipment it’s really important to buy from recognised retailers, in our most recent search, we found many products available online for ridiculously (almost laughable) prices. They were just so low that alarm bells should instantly be ringing. That’s why we only recommend buying from the retailers that you really know and trust, names like Wiggle, Chain Reaction and Evans Cycles are just some of those that we use regularly. With these retailers you know you’re in safe hands and can expect great service, great returns policies and if anything was to go wrong great customer service under a warranty claim.

But onto the reason you’re here today, let’s delve into some of the details of Mavic R-SYS SLR Endurance Road Wheelset to help you understand a bit more about where it sits in the market against some of the many alternatives that are available out there. We’re very aware that by buying our cycling stuff online that we’ve missed out on the opportunity to actually see and test the product first. This is where reviews come in to their own, as it gives us that chance to hear from other like-minded cyclists about how good or bad a product is.

As you would expect, our first and top piece of advice before buying, is to read lots and lots of Mavic R-SYS SLR Endurance Road Wheelset reviews. With a review score of 9.2 out of 10 it’s likely that there will be lots of great detailed reviews to help you. And if you find that actually the reviews are suggesting Mavic R-SYS SLR Endurance Road Wheelset isn’t right for you then there will be tons and tons of other reviews for other products in the Wheel Sets category. In fact we’ve got 185 products reviewed in this category alone.

Something that makes it particularly challenging is the vast range of choice, as mentioned above there are 185 products in the Wheel Sets category. There are also 721 products from the brand Mavic.
