The Mavic MA2 was introduced in the late 1970s and quickly became one of the most popular rims for racing bikes and club use in the 1980s and 1990s. The rim was known for its high build quality and precise extrusion, which provided a smooth and effective braking surface - something Mavic was particularly renowned for.Used by recreational riders and professional mechanics alike, the MA2 was for many years the standard choice for strong, lightweight wheel builds with traditional spokes and rim brakes. Today, the Mavic MA2 is particularly sought after by enthusiasts who want period-correct equipment for vintage and classic steel frames.
