    Bought a set of Mavic Ksyriun Elite S Wheels, they came with Mavic Tyres 700 x 23, they look the business; and compliment the wheels. I had a look at a couple of reviews, the write-ups were favourable, although, some did mention they were not as good in wet conditions.

    Anyone ride on Mavic Tyres? or have any knowledge of them?

    From guys riding on teams
    From guys riding on teams sponsored by Mavic, the feedback has not been that great… as mentioned already, wet grip can be challenging… I’d hope they may have sorted that by now though.

    They the Aksion tyres? ok in the dry but a little slippery in the wet, and as for getting out the saddle to power up hills in the damp, forget it as they spin out easily.

    Yes, I picked up 2 x Mavic Aksion 700 x 23 folding tyres in a bargain bin for £8 each.

    Not so great in the wet, a bit slippery compared to the GP4000 or Gatroskin I normally opt for.

    But, they seem to be fairly puncture resistant and durable.

    Happy with using them – I do about 120 miles a week on them at the moment in all weathers.

    **I will now, of course, have a bloody puncture on the way home….

    Hey yeah I’ve got the slick
    Hey yeah I’ve got the slick version (Yksion) on my Kysrium SLR/ R-Sys combo and think they are great. As marcelocatalan says they wear fast but I guess that’s to be expected from a race tyre.

    I did a wet and windy race at the end of the summer where I used a mavic up front and a Vittoria Corsa Evo tub on the back. It may have been the pressure (150psi rear/ 110 front) but the back end was all over the place even in a straight line. The front Mavic even without a tread stayed absolutely solid.

    They also came with my K10
    They also came with my K10 Wheels. The 2011 ones. Had no problem with them. The rear tire, did not last more than 1500 kms. Overall grip is ok too. Not too much experience with them in wet conditions. Note that the 2011 Mavic Tires do not have any type of thread. They are just plain tires. I heard they are actually VICTORIA tires. Anyone can confirm on that?
    Also, does anyone has any info on the Yksion Powerlink and Griplink models?!?!

    Yes the 2013 tyres with a small tread, they look very nice; and are a lightweight tyre. I’ll try them out next year (Summer)
