Mavic has a long history in the sport...

Mavic has a long history in the sport of cycling but, in the past couple years, they seem to have lost their way to some degree.  First was the release of the R-Sys wheel system.  The carbon spoke had several well publicized catastrophic wheel failures that seemed to occur for no apparent reason.  Mavic seems to be sticking by the R-Sys wheel's reliability and, with time, perhaps they will perfect the technology.

More disturbing than the R-Sys is Mavic's latest wheel creation.  A picture is worth a thousand words so I will only say this idea will NOT sweep the cycling world.
