Aerodynamic wheel development with Garmin-Transition
Wind tunnel testing and time trialing are the best way to test aerodynamic wheels. Wind tunnels help us understand and precisely quantify the impact of different design solutions on our wheels and time trial testing provides us feedback in real world racing conditions with real rider sensations. Check out this video of Mavic technicians working with our Pro Tour riders in the Mercedes GP Petronas Formula One Team scale wind tunnel wind tunnel and at the Giro d'italia Wind tunnel shots were taken at "Drag2Zero wind tunnel facility at the Mercedes GP Petronas Formula One Team scale wind tunnel".
R&D on Mavic DH wheels with Fabien Barel
As part of its SSC Special Service Course program, Mavic keeps on working close with athletes to improve its product performance. With Fabien Barel, fine tuning the rim profile design was discussed on the Deemax Ultimate to optimize the tyre work at low pressure on rocky or high speed tracks. Peille and Sospel downhills, France represented the best locations to test different prototypes.
Paris-Roubaix from inside the Mavic Service Course
Paris-Roubaix, also known as "l'Enfer du Nord" - the hell of the north - is famous for its difficulty and harsh conditions creating punctures, crashes and equipment breakdown. This video shot from inside the Mavic facilities before the event and then inside the cars during the race, shows the reality of the guys from Mavic on their most difficult day of neutral assistance.
Prototype development with the Garmin-Transitions team
Mavic continues its Research & Development with the Garmin-Transitions team. The engineers from Mavic utilized Garmins training camp in Calpe, Spain to test a new aero wheel.
