Exalith, a treatment given to Mavic's upper-echelon of wheels, penetrates the rim's alloy in order to delay rim wear and to enhance braking power. It's also a key component in maintaining the rim's distinctive Anthracite Grey color and is a hell of a lot harder than your typical alloy brake track. Given its differences compared to standard alloy, it devours standard brake pads, so you need to use the Mavic Exalith II Brake Pads in order to enjoy these increased stopping benefits. We should also note that Exalith-specific pads are too hard to properly grab standard alloy braking surfaces, so they're to be used only with Exalith II brake tracks.
