Product Description

Mavic's Yksion PowerLink Tire is designed for the rear of the bike and is a perfect complement to it front specific counterpart, the GripLink. Why put two different tires on the bike you may ask? That's because the front and rear tires perform their own role on the bike. The rear tire carries a greater percentage of the load of bike and rider than the front. Mavic created their tire sets to optimize performance and increase durability.Mavic engineers gave the PowerLink a dual density rubber compound for the express purpose of reducing the rolling resistance and increasing energy transfer while maintaining superior cornering traction. The center strip of the tread uses harder 70a rubber. This gives the Yksion the hard wearing and fast rolling characteristics that Mavic intended. However, since safety and great performance depends on a good cornering grip, the rubber on the shoulders is a softer, far grippier 60a durometer. The 127tpi casing is tough enough to fend off sidewall cuts and damage to the tire on coarse roads. To further maximize the puncture protection, Mavic layers a nylon breaker underneath the tread. The Mavic Yksion PowerLink Tire is available in Black or White and is available in 700 x 23c only.

Mavic Yksion Powerlink Tire - Clincher Black, One Size Black Review

I have now 2000 miles on the first set. The rear tire is somewhat worn flat , as to be expected. The front tire shows only little wear.
There are only two cuts in the rear tire and those are mostly superficial. Even with riding over plenty of small rocks and other road debris. I even pulled over a couple of times just after running over some sharp rocks only to find there was no damage to the tire.
I used to ride Continental Gran Prix 7000. For the price this tire cannot be beat.
The previous review mentioned that the tire is slipping, well I am not a sprinter but I cannot say I had any problems ever riding this.
The dual compound worked well for all cornering, braking and sprinting for that street sign...
