Ksyrium Elite Wheels

[emily_in_nc]

I spec'd Kysirium Elites for my Aegis Swift and agree that they are a really nice, light wheelset! Snazzy looking too....

I see that this is a pretty old thread, but I'm curious how people are liking their Ksyrium Elites. I'm getting an Orbea Diva from a shop that has them set up with these wheels. I'll be making a switch from 650's to 700's so my race wheels won't work for this anymore....and I don't want to spring for new race wheels just yet (maybe next season!!!) I'm assuming they aren't as racy as say Zipps or Hed....are they along the lines of the Rolf Vectors or some other lighter, faster training wheel?

I have the opportunity to rent race wheels for an event next weekend, but if these are decent, I'll probably just stick with them!

Thanks for any input!

I still have mine, but I didn't like how they threw me around in a crosswind and I am not a little person.

Just out of curiousity, what did you switch to? Thanks for the input!

My new bike has wheels built by a local builder.

I'm green with envy. I have the mtb version (Crossmax SLR) and I am counting the days when I can put the Kysiriums on my road bike. Several cyclists have said it was 2 years or more before they had to have it trued.

My husband has over 10,000 miles on his Kysrium Elites and loves them! I think he has only trued them once. I have ridden them once they are stiff! I really want to upgrade my Askium Race to some Kysriums. DH races them but he doesn't do a lot of racing, just here and there when he has a weekend off. They were stock on his Cannondale R5000 which was second only to the first Six13 when he picked it up. Must not be too shabby for racing?
