Ceramic 2
By using a plasma beam torch spreading titanium and aluminum oxide powders on the sidewalls of the rim we create a thermal shield that is 30 times harder than aluminum.
H2 - Hammer Hardening
Reinforcement of the area around each nipple hole by hammering to compress the material of this sensitive zone. The rim can be eyeleted on top to even more improve resistance.
Maxtal
Exclusive alloy developed specifically for Mavic by Pechiney Alcan Group, for rim manufacturing and optimizing alloy characteristics vs. that specific use.
SUP - Soudé Usiné Process
After bending, the rim joint is arc welded. The welded seam is then milled for a smooth finish.
UB Control - Usiné Brut Control
The sidewalls of the rim are milled with a diamond point on a digitally controlled machine after assembly and anodization,
