Complete BS. I’m not even gonna go into placing of these brands, cause Rapha was always more about performance than MAAP or PNS, but calling them “New School” even though they’re one of the oldest on that map is ridiculous. La Passione no longer exists. Many others are just super minor, irrelevant brands. And yet, no Castelli, Assos, Santini and other fundamental brands, that would actually be a point of reference on a map like this.

assos? Quite red I would guess, but also quite eccentric imo 😉

Most of these brands, don’t fall into these categories.

Most of these brands cross most of these catagories. Not many of them can be pigeon holed anymore.
Plus a lot of this is very subjective.

I get that people love to have their factions, but this one’s a bit forced, and not really accurate.

Were the brands placed randomly? Because that’s what it looks like.
I don’t believe that whoever made this did even cursory research of cycling brands, because as mentioned it’s missing all the oldest and largest key players.

Leaving out Castelli and Sportful is criminal

These quadrants are nonsense. Traditional is far from Experience, and for some reason Experience is the polar opposite to Performance?
