A STORY OF PASSION
The AIVEE adventure began in the heart of the Vendée, at FIDEMECA, a precision machining company. The French brand of high-performance cycle components was created in 2011 by a team of cycling and technology enthusiasts.
These cycling enthusiasts decided to draw on their diverse experience to produce components for the bicycle industry, with a slightly crazy wager - Made in France! It is with this philosophy at the heart of the brand, unchanged since the beginning, that the AIVEE team thinks, designs, manufactures and assembles all its products in France!
For more than 10 years now, AIVEE has been a story of passion for cycling, passion for Made in France and passion for beautiful precision mechanics, at the service of all cyclists, from the occasional amateur to the seasoned competitor!
Precision, passion, Made in France. Without compromise.
The DNA of AIVEE products is simple: to offer you the best product, without compromise. Choosing an AIVEE product means adopting the best of performance, aesthetics, lightness and accessibility.
AIVEE high performance products are the result of a subtle balance between passion and know-how. The components of our products are machined in our workshops in the Vendée region, using the very best technology. Our modern production facilities enable us to design and produce components on the same site, and we give our customers the benefit of the best materials, such as aerospace-grade aluminium.
Numerous product models have been developed in line with changes in width standards, freewheel bodies, disc mounting and the way road, mountain, electric and now gravel bikes are ridden.
Whether on the track or at work, the AIVEE team evolves with passion and rigour to offer the best of made in France to all enthusiasts!

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 products :
ü High-level performance: Our expertise in precision machining and our proprietary knowledge of the most technical materials enable us to ensure the best possible performance and a long service life for our products.
ü An aerospace-grade quality department: our quality department uses cutting-edge control instruments ranging from material hardness measurement to micron-level control by three-dimensional measurement.
ü Manufacturing and assembly to order, by hand: Each stage of our manufacturing process is controlled by human intervention. The aim of these checks is to verify all the points that make up the performance of our products: checking the clearance between components, the tightness of bearings, compliance with mechanical tolerances, the overall visual appearance and the perfect quality of the body finish.
ü An XXL lifespan: All our products are individually laser-engraved with an identification number that enables us to find exactly the components needed to maintain our customers' hubs. We also offer riders a lifetime guarantee on the hub components we produce.
All 'Made in France', because you can't do things over again. These are the steps that enable us to guarantee the quality, performance, durability and accessibility of our AIVEE products.
