Capturing the Joy of LGBTQ+ Pride from Above: An Introduction to Mavic Wans

Pride x new Mavic Wans The Pride x new Mavic Wans collaboration is an exciting partnership that brings together style and technology. Mavic Wans, a popular brand known for their innovative and high-quality products, has joined forces with Pride, a well-known LGBTQ+ organization, to create a new line of accessories. This collaboration aims to celebrate diversity and inclusivity by combining Pride's vibrant and bold designs with Mavic Wans' cutting-edge technology. The result is a range of products that not only look great but also perform exceptionally well. One of the key highlights of the Pride x new Mavic Wans collection is the Pride edition of Mavic Wans' popular wireless earphones. These earphones feature the iconic Pride colors and are designed to provide a comfortable and immersive audio experience.

It also is a great honor for Heinz Obermayer that even a Salomon/Adidas powered company like Mavic found no better way to design wheels than to copy his design.

Having been quoted 580 for a set of Ksyrium SSL tubulars new that is an even bigger discount so I don t know if my LBS gets good Mavic pricing or if Mavic has large margins but I would guess I can get a set of these new wheels for 1500 less than a set of the Standards. It also is a great honor for Heinz Obermayer that even a Salomon Adidas powered company like Mavic found no better way to design wheels than to copy his design.

These earphones feature the iconic Pride colors and are designed to provide a comfortable and immersive audio experience. With advanced features like noise cancellation and touch controls, these earphones are perfect for music lovers on the go. In addition to the wireless earphones, the Pride x new Mavic Wans collection also includes a stylish Pride edition of Mavic Wans' smartwatch.

Weight Weenies

Mavic claims to have tested these using the same protocols as Tour. The numbers I got from them for stiffness are very impressive if correct:

Front 67 N/mm
Rear 55 N/mm

Aerodynamics are claimed to be better than Hed3 at 0 degree, and significanlty better than Hed 3 with sidewinds.

Not the lightest wheels, but not that heavy either. Claimed at 1185, actual for early wheels has been averaging 1200 grams.

I'm unable to understand how it is possible for the Mavic to have lower drag at higher effective yaw angles. are you sure about this?

No I'm not sure about it, but Mavic was very clear in stating that the aerodynamic properties of the wheels really shine as the wind moves further to your side. As said, I got this information from Mavic, so there is no guarantee that it is correct.

It seems Mavic is gunning for Lightweight with these wheels. Most numbers they give are in direct comparison to LW standards. Such as X% stiffer, Y% more aero.

Claimed to be 35% more aero than Standards at yaw, though he did not say at what angle.

hard to believe about the aero part. I was hoping they would be lighter.. but that weight seems pretty good for mavic.

I am very happy that Mavic is copying our wheels. This is the best that could possibly happen to us. They have the power to advertise the "revolutinary new concept" (which in fact is older than 10 years) in magazines worldwide. We are ready for comparison tests and have some inquiries for these already (Tour will make one in june or july). We are more than confident that or long time experience will still produce better test outcomes (and not claim these)

It also is a great honor for Heinz Obermayer that even a Salomon/Adidas powered company like Mavic found no better way to design wheels than to copy his design.

And finally they are not really cheaper. Thanks Mavic for helping a small company like us!

I'd still rather have Lightweights than Mavics.
There's just that sex appeal that goes with Lightweights!

If I were on the board of Carbon Sports I would be worried. The world of business is full of stories of large corporations adopting the innovative ideas of small companies and through marketing and brute force putting the originals out of business.

My gut feeling is the best way to avoid this is to work carefully on positioning - maintain your small loyal niche with serious investment in both continuing technical innovation and PR and marketing which emphasises the 'cool' and 'authentic' nature of Lightweight in comparison to the 'boring' and 'corporate' nature of Mavic.

It's what Apple do with Microsoft, what Nintendo do with Sony etc. You can broadly call it 'disruptive'.

There you go - that's the kind of brand strength that you have to expoit. A 'cool' factor like that is something Mavic would kill for, but not be able to create without making a sub-brand.

The only way Mavic wins is if they can produce them in as good quality, greater mass, and of lesser price than LW's.

If I were Stephan I wouldn't worry much.

I'm not so sure. Microsoft made operating systems which were worse quality and more expensive than competitors at the time. I'm sure Mavic are selling more units of many products for which there is a superior version available from a smaller company (Ksyriums?)

Product development and pricing is only the start of the story.

I don't know. I think I would be a little worried if I were Lightweight. the Standard runs $3500 US and the MSRP on the Mavic is $2750 US. while I must pay the $3500 for the Standard I typically get 20% off from my LBS and I am not even a sponsored rider. Having been quoted $580 for a set of Ksyrium SSL tubulars (new) that is an even bigger discount so I don't know if my LBS gets good Mavic pricing or if Mavic has large margins but I would guess I can get a set of these new wheels for $1500 less than a set of the Standards. that is huge, I can't even think about buying a set of Lightweights but I am already thinking about these Mavics.

I think Lightweight has a pretty niche market anyway so perhapse Mavic could release anything and it wont really impact them.

as a carbon retailer for a few years i have watched your company and admired the workman ship and belief in your own visions and ideas.
they have matured into the envy of the wheel industry, and as you point out, they can be coppied but never bettered.

i am sure Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel , was not upset that others copied his idea. we will always remember it as the DIESEL engine>. who ever makes it

Reviews for "Taking Pride to the Skies: Exploring the Different Ways to Use Mavic Wans"

1. Jane - 1 star

I was extremely disappointed with the Pride x new mavic wans. Not only did they take forever to arrive, but when they finally did, they were of very poor quality. The material was cheap and uncomfortable to wear. Additionally, the design was not as vibrant and colorful as shown in the pictures. Overall, I would not recommend these wans to anyone looking for a great pride accessory.

2. Michael - 2 stars

The Pride x new mavic wans fell well below my expectations. Firstly, the sizing was completely off. I ordered a medium, which should have fit me perfectly, but it ended up being way too small. Secondly, the colors on the wans faded after just a couple of uses and washes. For the price I paid, I expected much better quality. I was really excited to support the pride movement with these wans, but unfortunately, they were a letdown.

3. Sarah - 1 star

I regret buying the Pride x new mavic wans. From the moment I received them, I noticed that the stitching was already unraveling. The wans were flimsy and easily tore with minimal use. Additionally, the clasps were poorly made and kept coming undone. I expected a durable and well-made product, but sadly, these wans did not meet my expectations. Save your money and choose a different pride accessory.
