It seems as though Mavic has plans tointroduce a new version of the Helium wheels. Heliums remain a favorite of mine. From cyclingnews.com.....
Mavic to reintroduce Helium wheels
Cyclingnews' US sources tells us that Mavic is preparing a reintroduce its Helium wheels. Heliums were a popular choice for their light weight before the company's Ksyrium wheels took over the world, and we hear that the new incarnation will also be targeted at the gram-saving set. The new Heliums will have carbon fiber hub shells and titanium freehub bodies, we hear, though there's no word on the exact materials of rims and spokes. One of the spokes will be red, however, in the same stylee as Mavic's centenary Tour de France Ksyriums of a couple of years ago that had a single yellow spoke.
