With the growing popularity of disc technology in the 700c wheel size, Mavic gives us the Aksium for the ultimate in value and performance at this price point. This wheelset provides you with top Mavic technologies including straight pull spokes, versatile and lightweight rims and serviceable cartridge bearings. We have found the Aksium wheels to be very reliable providing performance well in excess of the entry-level price.

Other features of the Aksium include Mavic's trademark, quality QRM bearings for long life and smoothness. Mavic hammer hardens the area of the rim around the spokes for extra strength where it is required and machines the braking surface for precise braking (UB control). Mavic employs a "self-locking" spoke and nipple design that reduces the possibility of the spokes loosening and the wheel coming out of true. All in all the Aksium wheels have consistently been one of the best bargains in factory built wheels.
