The Aksium Elite UST Disc delivers all the benefits of Mavic’s Road Tubeless technology to riders who favour the power and versatility of road disc brakes. The UST rim is welded, which improves strength and durability, and it’s 19mm wide for a smooth ride quality. Straight-pull bladed spokes improve stiffness and strength, and the hubs are built with Mavic’s QRM bearings and axle system for added durability. The wheels are paired with Mavic’s 25mm Yksion Elite UST tires, which offer the right balance of low rolling resistance and grip in variable weather and road conditions. Mavic’s Road Tubeless technology allows you to run lower tire pressure for a smooth ride and a reduced risk of flats. And with the added braking power and reliability of disc brakes in all kinds of conditions, it's the perfect setup for long training miles, rain or shine.
