Bicycle with Mavic CXP 14 rims

Mavic is a French bicycle parts manufacturer whose name is an acronym for Manufacture d'Articles Vélocipédiques Idoux et Chanel founded by Charles Idoux and Lucien Chanel. The company is most noted as a manufacturer of bicycle wheels. Many competitive cyclists such as those in the Tour de France ride on Mavic wheels. Mavic is based near St. Etienne, France.

The company manufactures wheelsets, rims, hubs, and various bicycling components such as cassettes, cycling computers, brakes, chains. Mavic products are available for road cycling, MTB, track, and BMX. Their high-end road wheelsets are the Mavic Ksyrium series -- made popular by Lance Armstrong in his first victories in Tour de France -- and the Mavic Cosmic series. The semi-aero Cosmic wheelsets are often seen on many riders' bicycles, and the latest version uses carbon parts. These wheelsets are reportedly very stiff and aerodynamic, although on the heavy side. Many riders swear that Mavic Ksyriums are the best all-around wheelset available today.

Ten years ago, Mavic introduced the first climbing-specific wheelset in the Mavic Helium. To commemorate it this year, the Ksyrium Edition Speciale was introduced. Having little to do with the appearance, weight, or design of the original Helium, the ES pays homage to its revolutionary predecessor through the use of one red spoke on each wheel. The Ksyrium ES has a shallower profile, and therefore, hypothetically meaning a lighter rim for more efficient climbing. This is only speculation, though, as a lighter hub design and obviously similar spoke choice result in the ES having a weight identical to the SL. Regardless of any weight savings, the shallower profile of the ES makes it a more stable wheel in descents, which is reason enough to choose it over the SL for hilly races.

Mavic rims are also very popular among riders and builders. The Mavic Open Pro rim is the de facto, all-round clincher rim, used for training and racing by many riders, and it is still popular among professionals for the grueling Paris-Roubaix race, given its light weight and "dead" feel. The Mavic CXP rims are the semi-aero counterparts to the Open Pro.

Mavic developed an electronic shifting system in the 1990s that was used by several riders including Chris Boardman. However, it suffered unresolved engineering problems --most notably that Boardman's time trial bike would shift without his action-- and was discontinued.

On the mountain bike, Mavic's "Crossmax" wheels are considered the best cross-country racing wheels. The company help start the UST (Universal System Tubeless) Tubeless system. The tubeless design eliminates the need of an inner tube between the rim and tire. The result is a lighter weight wheel and the ability to ride with a lower tire pressure.
