Mavic never leaves the innovation to the high-end, and the 2012 Aksium wheelset is the perfect example. The new Aksiums have a new rim extrusion that is around 60 grams lighter than the previous model's. The Aksiums also benefit from the Mavic's wheel-tire system and get their own Aksium tires, designed to be safe and durable with a folding bead.
Aksium wheels offer many of the same technologies of competitors higher priced models at a much more reasonalb eprice. Stainless steel bladed spokes and Mavic's own premium bearings are notable examples. In the Mavic economy, entry level doesn't mean low-end. For a great training, trouble-free wheelset, look no further than the Mavic Aksium.
