Track
Mavic makes some of the most popular and successful carbon disc wheels, which have been used to win many races.
Mavic has made a carbon fibre deep section front wheel with five wide carbon spokes, the Io, which has been very successful. Some racers use it for road time trials, but this is not approved by Mavic as the rims are not designed for braking.

Famous quotes containing the word track:
“If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
“It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten track for ourselves. I had not lived there a week before my feet wore a path from my door to the pond-side; and though it is five or six years since I trod it, it is still quite distinct. It is true, I fear, that others may have fallen into it, and so helped to keep it open.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He who rides and keeps the beaten track studies the fences chiefly.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
