Review by AnonymousReviewed 10/28/2019by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastMD, USAGreat wheels, great deal Really nice wheels. I have a set of Mavic Ksyrium SL road wheels that are built a lot like these and they were bullet proof for more than 50,000 hard training, club, and racing miles... I still have them but also have a newer set. I expect these AllRoads to last a good long time as well but maybe not quite so many miles since gravel rides can be tougher on wheels.One thing to be careful of when you order is tire size. I put these on a Lynskey Cooper cross bike that I had been running Maxxis Rambler 700x38 tires. The Mavic 700x40 does not fit on the rear of my frame... it rubs the chainstays. So for now I will run one of the Mavic 40s on front and the Maxxis 38 on the rear. I can't find the spec on my bike so I am not sure if 38 is just the max tire size it will take or if the Mavic 40 is just large for a 40.

Review by MKTReviewed 6/14/2019by MKTCycling EnthusiastFairfax VAAwesome wheelstires!I bought these with the Mavic 700 X 40 tires to train and ride the 2019 Dirty Kanza 200 on my 2019 Specialized Diverge - they were flawless. No punctures during the DK 200!!! The tires are very easy to mount. Please note that the tires are marked on the sidewall on which direction to mount the front and rear tire The front goes one direction while the rear goes the other!
I have had zero issues with this wheel set and tires. Have logged about 1200 training miles and 201 DK miles. After DK, I mounted 700X30 Mavic All Road tires and regularly ride these on the road!
Mavic Customer Service is the best too!

Review by Jackw007Reviewed 11/17/2018by Jackw007Daily CommuterBay Area, CA5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Absolutely fantastic wheelsetI bought this wheelset when it went on sale at BTD for my cross bike that I use for commuting. I previously was riding on a Ksyrium Pro Disc wheelset because it was bomb proof, but I thought that I'd upgrade to newer technology with winter and rain approaching.
First, the downsides. Don't believe the statement that with UST wheels you can get them started with your floor pump. The Yksion Elite tires (I ordered the 35mm version) are unidirectional and marked frontrear - maybe because looking at the tread pattern the proper mount direction was opposite of what I would have assumed. Apparently someone else was confused as well because one tire was mounted in the right direction, and the other was not.
I removed and remounted the tire that was not mounted in the right direction and I could not properly inflate it until I used my compressor to inflate the tire and get it to snap the bead properly into the rim.
Then I used the adapters that were included to convert to QR (the ones for the front wheel were marked rear wheel by the way). If you do this be careful when you pull off the end caps on the rear hub - when I did it the entire free hub body pulled off and the spring that holds the ratchet popped out. It was easy to put back in though and luckily I didn't lose anything.
But once that was done I have to say that I was super happy with the wheelset. The hub is amazing (and super quiet). But it was the ride that shocked me.
I'm fairly new to tubeless tires, and I really wasn't looking forward to 35mm tires. I was worried that the ride was going to be slow and mushy. I would have preferred the older 30mm size tires if I had the option. I don't really plan to do any gravel riding and I was concerned that I was going to sacrifice handling and road performance for grip and a softer ride.
Now, I'm a data geek, and I track everything - including on my commutes to work and my commutes back and forth to the pool in the morning. So I know exactly what my mileage and average speed is. As I rode with the new wheels and tires I was first pleasantly surprised that is was a great ride, softer but by no means mushy, and the handling was great (although at first I had the weird sensation that the front wheel would pull to the side when turning). But what shocked me was that my ride was actually FASTER than what I had experienced with the Ksyrium Pro Disc wheelset and my road tires (28mm).
I would recommend this wheelset to anyone looking for a bomb proof commuting wheelset, not to mention someone looking to take their bike off road and do some gravel riding.

Review by texagReviewed 10/10/2018by texagCycling EnthusiastDFW, TX5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Mavic UST works great!I recently purchased these and even though they came with 40mm Yksion Allroad tires installed I wanted to test out Mavic's UST tubeless. I removed one tire completely and reinstalled it. Seated within seconds using a simple floor pump. As soon as pressure got near 20 psi the tire popped into the beads. Easy as that. I deflated, added sealant, reinflated and it held air perfectly. Hubs are smooth, build quality seems strong, and although not the lightest wheels out there I dropped a full pound and a half off my gravel bike by replacing wheels, cassette and rotors.
