Details
- New for 2015, the rim has been redesigned to be 2mm wider, offering a larger surface area to improve both comfort and rolling efficiency
- Air volume has also increased by 18%, decreasing rolling resistance and improving puncture protection
- Lightweight yet strong, proprietary aluminum rims use a drilling method that doesn't penetrate the tube-facing wall, strengthening the rim and eliminating need for rim strips
- Both rims feature a milled braking surface to improve friction; rim joints are welded and milled to eliminate shuddering during braking and provide superior wheel balance
- Inter Spoke Milling reduces material between spokes, lowering weight and the amount of effort needed to spin the wheels up for superb climbing and acceleration
- Wheelset comes fitted with Yksion Pro tires for fast, dependable performance
- Yksion Pro Griplink is optimized for front wheel use thanks to its sticky compound, water evacuation tread pattern and super strong Kevlar flat protection
- Rear wheel comes with the Yksion Pro Powerlink tire with its specially designed compound, supple nylon reinforced casing and tread pattern to increase rolling efficiency
- Please note: tubes use Presta valves

Is this wheelset compatible with a sram rival 11-32 cassette for an 11speed groupset?
Your SRAM 11-Speed groupset works with the the FTS-L free wheel hub on this Krysium wheelset. As long as the cassette is not individually cogged, it will work (individual cogsets dig into the hub), and SRAM sets are not individual and are connected together with an allen-head pin instead.
