With a history spanning more than one hundred years, Mavic knows a thing or two about cycling components. The Annecy-based company has recently expanded its reach and now produces its own range of high-performance helmets.
A relative newcomer to the helmet market, Mavic shot to prominence when it introduced the Plasma SLR, Plasma and Syncro in 2012 after showcasing prototypes at Eurobike in 2011. The helmets utilised the company’s trademark use of colour and contrast to bolster visual presence but focussed more on comfort than outright performance.
The past few years have seen Mavic make inroads into the highly competitive performance space with a host of different aero and vented offerings forming the crux of its current line-up. Like most of its product lines, standardised nomenclature such as Comete, Cosmic, Ksyrium and Aksium feature heavily throughout the helmet portfolio, as well as the Echappee and Sequence nameplates, which are women-specific models. The range comprises a mix of aero, endurance and performance helmets while MIPS protection is also available on certain models.
