Svelte, rapid and stiff, Ksyrium Elites are an excellent everyday choice for committed riders and racers. Wide internal rim width lets you use high volume tires and lower PSIs, for a smooth rolling, comfortable ride. The machined aluminum braking surface prevents grabby performance, and is tough enough for a few seasons of hard road or CX riding. A relatively low spoke count (18 front, 20 rear) provides excellent aerodynamics. Buttery cartridge bearings won't let you down after hard training sessions in the rain, and are about as easy-to adjust as it gets. To top it off, these aluminum hoops come pre-mounted with sticky and supple 25mm Yksion pro tires.
