The best product at the 2004 Interbike trade show was an easy to install and use digital wireless computer designed to provide high-quality, real-time statistics for cyclists.
The Win-Tech from Mavic is simple, slick, light and invisible making it useful to riders without adding any weight or drag to the bike.
It can easily be fitted to any bike.
The clear LCD provides up to nine statistics, including pedalling cadence, speed and trip distance.
Mavic worked with Xemics on the RF transmission system for the Win-Tech.
The encoded digital transmission is based on a low power architecture that has the benefit of extending the battery life to at least a year.
It works without interference to provide accurate statistics.
It also guarantees a sealed system, no breakdown and perfect connection between all the linked elements.
The Xemics low power RF transceiver functions in the worldwide licence free 30 to 70kHz ISM band.
This makes it ideal for these types of applications.
The use of Xemics RF technology enables the data to be transmitted with optimal reliability.
The small form factor of the RF chip ensures the overall size of the Win-Tech can be kept to a minimum.
This small size and lightness is important in competitive cycling.
Mavic is well known in the cycling world for its dedication to the sport as well as the quality of its products.
In the recent Olympics 80% of cycling track medallists used Mavic wheels, with gold medals on road and cross country using Mavic products.
The Win-Tech is just another example of the company's innovation.
