It was founded by Charles Idoux and Lucien Chanel in Lyon, France in the late 1800s.[1] Mavic produced the first aluminium rim in 1934, and the first disc wheel in 1973. Also in 1973 Mavic introduced "neutral" support for all racing teams during cycle races.[2]
Mavic has developed many products over the years, including a Tour de France winning groupset, but is today focused on wheels.
In 2019 Mavic was sold by Amer Sports to the equity firm Regent, LP.[3] After some ownership turmoil it was sold to Bourrelier Group in 2020.[4]
