Mavic and UTC-ButcherBox Cycling p/b LOOK have announced a multi-year partnership extending through 2025. The collaboration establishes the footing for an enduring relationship between the wheels & accessories specialist and the US-based team.
“Based in Boston, MA, UTC-Butcherbox Cycling is only hours north of the Mavic North America headquarters in Vermont,” said Mavic North American Sales & Marketing Manager, Josh Saxe.
“We are excited for the opportunity to collaborate locally, race together, and support the community along the way. UTC-ButcherBox Cycling has a vast array of powerful riders in the women’s and men’s field, and we are looking forward to helping elevate their performance, speed, and results with knowledge in play from 135 years of engineering wheels.”
Dino Piskopanis, Executive Director of UTC-ButcherBox Cycling, said “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Mavic, joining the esteemed legacy of this influential and globally renowned brand in cycling.
“Mavic’s ground-breaking concepts, designs, and unwavering commitment to excellence have shaped the cycling industry. Together, we are committed to continuing to foster positive and all-inclusive growth in the world of cycling, and we are thrilled to be a part of Mavic’s remarkable journey.
The team will be riding a variety of Mavic products including Mavic’s Ultimate and Cosmic road wheelsets.
“I’m excited to see the team racing on the Cosmic SLR family of wheels,” added Mavic’s Josh Saxe. “These are particularly exciting, as they are tubeless, but without tape. Each wheel drops 30g of weight at the outermost part of the wheel because no tape is needed. The result in racing means not just reduced weight, but an exaggerated ability to accelerate and punch in the peloton.”
UTC-ButcherBox Cycling won US Speedweek in 2023, and took podiums at several of the monuments in US bike racing such as Saint Francis Tulsa Tough and the Armed Forces Cycling Classic.
