What customers say
The Mavic Open Elite is highly regarded as a dependable workhorse for custom wheel builds, praised primarily for its exceptional durability and robust construction, echoing the success of the Open Pro series. Wheel builders value the consistent rim profile, which ensures straightforward lacing and results in strong wheels that maintain true over extensive mileage. This reliability offers riders peace of mind across varied road conditions. While the braking surface is effective, some performance riders note that the Open Elite is heavier than newer aluminum or carbon options. Despite its classic dependability, a few customers question the value given its traditional clincher format and price point compared to modern alternatives. It remains a trusted choice for those prioritizing longevity.
