Aksium RB QR Wheelset + Vittoria Tire Bundle

A brisk morning loop with rough pavement and quick descents is a good test for the Aksium RB QR Wheelset + Vittoria Tire Bundle. The Mavic Aksium rim brake road wheelset has a clincher rim wide enough for tires up to 32mm, plus straight-pull spokes and QRM bearings that keep the roll smooth. The 700c x 28 Vittoria Zaffiro Pro V tires add Graphene 2.0 rubber and a grooved tread for everyday grip, with more durability than a high-end race tire. A Vittoria butyl road tube in each tire holds air well and has a 0.9mm wall that stays rugged without bulk.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“A 28 on this wheel’s wider rim feels calmer than a narrower tire, because the extra volume takes the edge off every seam and patch. On a rough loop with quick descents, the front end stayed planted, and I stopped thinking about the road surface. That is why I steer everyday road riders toward the 28 on this wheelset.”
