  • why do Brits pronounce Ksyrium "Kassyrium"?

    Ks at the beginning of a word is not a natural English formation. It's not a natural French one either, so I don't know why Mavic decided to go all unpronounceable.

  • We pronounce it as we would Xyrium, I assume it is vaguely greek and latin inpired.

    "Dee Addario" for D'addario anyone?

  • I assume it is vaguely greek and latin inpired

    Seems Slavic inspired, they change initial X into Ks, e.g. Xylitol is Ksylitol in Poland.
