A STORY OF PASSION
It is in the heart of the Vendée, in the precision machining company FIDEMECA, that the AIVEE adventure begins. The French brand of high performance hubs was born in 2011 under the impetus of a team of cycling and technology enthusiasts.
These cycling enthusiasts decided to take advantage of their various experiences to produce in-house complete hubs for mountain bikes as well as various prototype parts.
From then on, and thanks to the combined efforts of the teams, the French brand AIVEE was born, and within a few years it became an important activity of the company.
Precision at the service of passion
AIVEE high performance hubs are the result of a subtle balance between passion and know-how. A large majority of the components of AIVEE hubs are machined at FIDEMECA, which has a modern and efficient production facility covering more than 6000 m2. More than 50 NC machining centers and 4 CAD stations allow us to design and produce AIVEE bicycle hubs.
Numerous models of hubs are created as the standards of width, freewheel bodies, disc fixation and practices in road, mountain bike and now Gravel evolve.
On the tracks as well as at work, the AIVEE team evolves with passion and rigor!

The French exigency
AIVEE hubs are designed with the requirements of cycling in mind. At AIVEE, we are very attentive to the quality of each machined component as we will do the complete assembly by hand in our workshop.
The strength of AIVEE hubs :
ü Compliance with concentricity and dimensional tolerances ensures excellent alignment of the bearings and therefore better performance and long life.
ü Our quality department uses very advanced control instruments ranging from material hardness measurement to micron control by three-dimensional measurement.
ü Human intervention at each stage of the assembly to check the clearance between the elements, the tightening of the bearings, the respect of the tolerances and the perfect quality of the finishing of the body.
ü All our hubs are individually laser engraved with an identification number that allows us to find exactly the components needed to maintain our customers' hubs.
ü These are all steps that allow us to guarantee the quality, performance and durability of our AIVEE hubs.
