Without being too pedantic - i think these are Ksyrium SL, the predecessor of the SLS, they're not as light as SLS as the rim hasn't got the extensive milling as on the SLS. They're about 1490g from what i remember. The spokes are also slightly thicker than on the SLS.
That doesn't detract from how well these ride and just how much of a good wheel they are, i much prefer these and older generation Mavics than most newer, lighter wheels.
I currently run Mavic Ksyrium SSC's on an Emonda SL and have bought and sold much lighter "better" wheels very quickly always returning to the more surefooted, better looking and stiffer older Mavics.
