Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The Mavic Ksyrium Pro Carbon SL C clincher wheels came out last year with a lot of fanfare. Does anyone here ride them? Have you ridden them for more than just a test ride? What do you think? How are they as a climbing wheel? As an all around wheel? Are they stiff or flexy? Zippy or dead feeling? And how is the braking?

24 hours, nearly 120 distinct viewers, an untold number of people who read the title and moved on without opening, and ZERO responses from people who ride Mavic Ksyrium Pro Carbon SL C clincher wheels.

Granted, they're twice the price of the aluminum Ksyrium Pro and you only save 85 to 100g per set. But this can't be encouraging for the people at Mavic.

Know nothing about the wheel specifically, but will add that Mavic wheels seemingly get a disproportionate amount of bad reviews.
