Mavic Allroad Pro SL Carbon wheels £1.420

Bombproof all-rounder for any gravel adventure.

- By Anne-Marije Rook

Built for the mixed-surface punishment of modern gravel racing, the Allroad Pro SL Carbon wheels feature unidirectional carbon-fibre rims paired with double-butted spokes and Mavic's proprietary Infinity hubs.

The hookless rims are tubeless-ready and, with a 25mm internal width, optimised for tyres between 30mm and 50mm. During my testing, I mounted various tyre models and sizes on these rims, from 32mm slicks to 50mm knobby gravel tyres, and the wheels performed perfectly with all of them. That said, I think the sweet spot for ideal tyre shape, handling and efficiency lies somewhere between 42mm and 50mm.
