Mavic is a recognized name in bicycle parts manufacturing. The French company makes high-quality wheels for track, road and mountain bikes. Many of Mavic's wheels feature durable and lightweight carbon spokes and rims. A distinct Mavic technology is the lacing of spokes, which cuts down the number of spoke ends from four to two. Spokes are also molded to the rim, eliminating the need to drill holes.
