Mavic Open Pro
Mavic, an acronym of "Manufacture d'Articles Vélocipédique Idoux and Chanel" was set up in Lyon, France in 1889. In 2005 they were bought out by the Finnish company Amer Sports who also own the brands Wilson, Suunto, Atomic, Precor and Salomon.
In the 1980s, before Mavic moved into carbon fibre wheel construction and system wheels they were famous for their exquisite groupset which was an alternative to Shimano, Campagnolo and Suntour at the time and their amazing rims. Mavic MA40s and Open Pro CDs were the staple of many classic lightweight racing bikes of the era. Mavic wheels are famous the world over as the wheels onboard the neutral service vehicle, a stroke of masterpiece PR by Bruno Gorman who realised that the whole world would see the Mavic wheels every time a breakaway went up the road and the neutral service car slotted into the gap behind them.
