Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Sports Europe and Mavic are proud to confirm a new five-year agreement for the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series.

The historic French apparel and equipment manufacturer becomes an official supplier of the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series as the Official Bicycle Shoe supplier, as well as an Official Partner for the UCI World Cup round in Les Gets, Haute-Savoie (France)

Founded in Lyon, France, and now based in Annecy, Mavic has been at the forefront of cycling innovation for over 135 years.

Instantly recognisable by its distinctive style and iconic yellow-and-black colours, Mavic embodies excellence in the cycling world.

Its passion for innovation is evident in every wheel spun and every piece of gear worn, with products distributed worldwide. From the racetrack to open roads and rugged trails, Mavic boldly transforms the cycling experience.

Thanks to their innovations and designs validated by hundreds of hours of laboratory, wind tunnel, and field testing, their products have proven their ability to withstand the extreme demands and constraints of the extreme speeds reached by professional athletes, powering them to prestigious international and Olympic titles across multiple formats and disciplines.
