Riding Impressions:
The Mavic Aksium Disc wheelset provides a smooth and responsive ride, making it ideal for a wide range of road conditions. The increased stiffness from the straight-pull spokes translates into efficient power transfer, especially noticeable during climbs and sprints. The disc brake optimization ensures reliable and consistent braking performance, giving riders extra confidence in wet conditions or on steep descents. Despite its robust construction, the wheelset maintains a comfortable ride quality, thanks in part to the wider rim which allows for the use of larger, more cushioned tires.
