Mavic Introduces Lifetime Warranty for 2021 Carbon Wheels

Feb 23, 2021 at 10:59

Mavic test lab

Mavic has announced a new lifetime warranty on all its 2021 carbon wheels and appears to be regaining its feet after a turbulent 2020.

The French brand has shifted its focus back to its wheels after branching out to shoes, apparel, and pedals and running into deep financial trouble. When it was supposed that Mavic couldn’t pay its debts last spring, a French Commercial Court placed it into receivership, which puts the company’s assets and work under the control of a receiver to avoid liquidation.

After a period of struggle and ambiguous rumors about the company’s possible sale to a number of firms, Mavic found deliverance when it was sold to Bourellier Group. About half the jobs at Mavic were lost in the transition, but the company survived and appears reenergized.

The lifetime warranty will apply to all 2021 carbon wheel models, which were released in September 2020. The two-year warranty on aluminum wheels has also been extended to three years, but it’s worth noting these warranties on both carbon and aluminum wheels are only offered if the products are registered on mavic.com/care within two months of purchase.

Mavic will also continue to uphold its crash replacement policy, which also requires product registration and covers a percentage of a product’s value on a sliding scale based on how long the product has been used before the damage.

 Lifetime of the wheel or lifetime of Mavic?

 Smart warranty that is. Sell all the wheels, go bust. Don't have to give people replacements if you go bankrupt.

 @codfather1234: I'm not an expert warranty and bankruptcy but I did work in a quality/warranty for a big HVAC equipment company that was "struggling". I know if we filed bankruptcy that part of the agreement is setting aside money to continue to honoring warranty issues. We had a plan in place to keep the team together and slowly phase our department out and employees would get bonus if they stayed to the end of their term. I think we could've "bought out" everybody warranty but for some reason they didn't want to do that.

Eventually things turned around and it didn't matter.

 @lkubica: You're not wrong. Quite often 'Lifetime Warranty' just means the perceived natural life of a product. To be fair to Mavic in this case there doesn't appear to be a time limit on the carbon rims but it doesn't cover crash or rock strike damage.

 "no prob, we'll just send you a new set and throw these in the ocean with all the other carbon products this industry pukes each year. Great doing business with you, see you in a couple years when they fail again."

Carbon anything in this industry at the consumer level really needs to stop unless you're a professional racer where materials and weight mean anything. Just watch friday fails. Carbon products are worth shit to the average consumer mountain biker that could barely ride a walmart bike. Enough already with this marketing shit.

For all the downvoters, think about it. I am doing WAY more for the environment than 99% of the environmental hippies. Sure, I drive a big ass diesel, when I drive. I commute to work on my bicycle (the horror, it is carbon fiber!), I don't have heating or air conditioning. I don't buy a shit load of stuff I don't need because I don't have anywhere to put it.

I don't have an Amazon van driving around for me delivering junk so you can feel happy living in your comfy home with the heater cranked up being all smug about how good you are to the environment because you have a fuel efficient car.

Ironically, my fuel efficient car was just totalled by a hybrid who hit me at full speed on the freeway (I was going 0, he was going 65 and never braked).

I hope all you happy mountain biking hippies aren't throwing stones in your glass houses.

 I always had luck with mavic products. High quality rims good hubs (although I know some people having problems with croride straight pull hubs).

 I still have in the garage (for some reason) a set of Crosslines from my old Pitch. Look great and ride well but it's a shame they decided to make the freehub body out of their breakfast cheese rather than actual metal.

 I still don't see the point in carbon wheels or why people buy into this lifetime warranty thing. Carbon breaks, all the time, all of them, if you haven't broken your carbon rims it's just a matter of time. Then what? Great you get a new rim, which you then have build up. Or maybe you get a whole new wheel, while that's great doesn't it tell you something about the insane mark up on the wheel in the first place, or how often these things are breaking that they need such a warranty service? You still have downtime and hassle replacing the wheel, the ride is over. For what? Most of them are too stiff anyway. Just go buy a set of DT Swiss EX-Anything for a fraction of the price and you're done.
  • 16 7
 Carbon isn’t that weak. Aluminum rims will not get replaced for free under normal riding circumstances. If you’re the type of rider who destroys aluminum rims regularly, a stronger carbon rim with free replacement any time is a pretty good deal.
  • 9 2
 The appeal shouldn't necessarily be in the lifetime warranty. It's not a selling point for me, personally. I think most people seek out carbon rims for their ride qualities. Also, the hassle of rebuilding or replacing the wheel is there regardless of rim material. Personally, I've broken/dented the crap out of FAR more alloy DT EX-whatevers than carbon rims. Everyone has different experiences. I opt for whatever keeps my bikes rolling the most...which so far are carbon hoops.

 We have carbon rims because we have long-travel 29ers with 1200gram tires (without sealant) that are slacked out and a mile long, to ride super steep and gnarly trails that only 10% actually have access too. If we didn’t have carbon anything, our bikes would weigh 45lbs instead of 35. Everyone wants to pretend they ride like Sam Hill or Richie Rude or like they’re in a free-ride edit, well this is a price
  • 2 1
 @SlodownU: How heavy are your carbon rims? I bet there is a strong AL rim who is around the same weight.
1780g for a good set, I cant see how this is bad. I have the privateer 161 and it weights 36.38 lbs in size large. What monstrosity do you have in mind with more then 40lbs? Sorry to say that but my tires weight 1450g without anything Wink

 Been riding the same set of carbon rims DH for 5 years. Prior to this I would get through a set of alu rims every year. They have never needed trueing and Ive only broken one spoke. I would have to true the alu ones 4 or 5 times a year and I would break multiple spokes a year. So it doesnt break all of the time, not all of them.

 I moved to Malaga to ride during winter, and have a friend here(training) that rides WC sometimes. He has carbon wheels (reserve from SC) and rides super fast on sharp rocks, loose terrain and rocks and his rims are fine. This gives me confidence in quality carbon rims and they are not made from cheese as most think.

 I have seen every single major brands carbon rims broken at some point. If riding forest loam they aren't going to break. If riding rocky, aggressive trails they will. Aluminium also breaks, it's also dents. A decent dent in an aluminium rim is usually a failure on a carbon rim. The major difference is the cost and performance, which are both subjective.

 @MaplePanda: I just look at all the dents on my £50 alloy rims and think of all the carbon rims that would have cracked or all the tyres it would have killed. They’re completely pointless. They’re worse in every way except they’re lighter but you have to run some kind of insert to make them useable as well as run higher pressures.

 Right,
I struggled with making the decision on replacement wheels two years ago.
In a typical year, I replace 10 spokes, and at least 1 rim (usually rear). If I’m paying a bike shop to do this, it adds up, to the tune of $500+ depending on how many times the wheel needs attention. Not boasting about riding prowess, its just rocky here, and my line choices have not really improved in 20 years.
That’s a tonne a waste obviously, whatever material the rim is made from.
Based on the cost of a set of WeAreOne rims, with I9 hubs (locally for $1700), that cost is covered in three years, maybe less, maybe more. But zero downtime, and much less waste.
I stuck with alu wheels, as it was hard to accept the cost of entry. Based on my experience, the carbon wheels should make for less waste, and less overall consumerism.
All evidence I have is anecdotal at best, but those I know on carbon wheels, haven’t had to touch them in two years of riding. I on the other hand have replaced 3 alu rims, and have purchased an extra set of wheels to deal with downtime on my wheels in the same time period.

 @TopperharleyPT1: Who said you can’t build a carbon rim to be strong?

 @TopperharleyPT1: Just because you’ve seen a few broken rims doesn’t necessarily mean the concept is bad. Ever seen a broken aluminum rim too?
  • 2 1
 @thenotoriousmic: A carbon rim will shrug off impacts that would slightly dent an aluminum rim. An impact large enough to break a carbon rim would be devastating to an aluminum rim as well, and continuing to ride on an aluminum rim in that condition is a hack that few people would undertake. We’re talking rim sidewall being completely bent over/flattened, not some little ding. Carbon rims usually have thicker sidewalls than aluminums too, so the risk of pinch flatting your tire is even lower. Inserts are not mandatory (where did you get that idea from), and pressure can be same if not lower. Since carbon rims don’t pick up damage progressively like aluminum ones do (at least not to the same extent), it’s more okay to bottom out the rim. Example: Nino rides some crazy low pressures that would likely kill an aluminum rim before finishing the race. The rim material doesn’t change the properties of the air inside the tire...
  • 1 0
 @MaplePanda: no, you cant say that.
I had Carbon rims crack and go down and my trusty Al rim did it for a year. Impact wasn't even noticed by me. I had luck because I stopped before the jumpline to check my new wheel. 5 Minutes after I dropped in it was dead.
You can't say because it is AL or carbon it will be okay. There are differences in rim design and build quality
  • 1 1
 @MaplePanda: that’s not true at all. As the carbon rim won’t dent like you said it will cut through the sidewall of the tyre instead which is why you need to run inserts and it’s not shrugging off impacts it’s slowly weakening and yeah they’ll probably send you a new wheel when it breaks for free but I’ve had a front wheel explode at speed and I’m not up for it again.

I don’t think I know anyone who’s still running carbon rims anymore. Everyone who’s owned them have gone back to alloy.

So it has no branding either but it does have this protective vinyl skin www.dyedbro.com/products/viking
If anyone has done the same to their ransom, please show me pics that I can use to post.

Look out for any shoddy sprayed ransoms. I imagine they will probably strip and sell the parts and maybe respray the frame to sell later as that’s the most traceable

Customers have had to start getting new wheels because we could not get the parts to fix them.
