MAVIC YKSION PRO UST £52
Despite pioneering the concept in mountain bikes, Mavic is late to the tubeless road game. It’s teamed up with fellow French brand Hutchinson for this UST (Universal Systeme Tubeless) version of the Yksion Pro that’s proving an easyfitting, surefooted, fast and sublimelysmooth road roller so far. Bit cheaper than Hutch too.
HIGHS
Easy to fit, luxuriously supple feel, impressive grip and speed balance so far
LOWS
We’ve only had it a month or so but Hutchinson’s generally last well
BUY IF
You want a sublimely smooth and confident feeling 25mm race tyre
