More than just an aero wheel, the COMETE 50 is a truly versatile, high-performance solution, capable of excelling on the flat and on climbs, from sustained tempo to the most aggressive sprints. With a 50mm profile, 23mm internal width and aero-shaped carbon spokes, the Comete 50 delivers the ideal balance of speed, stability and comfort. Aerodynamics refined in the wind tunnel and validated by professional testers guarantee measurable performance across all terrains. Technical Specifications: Profile depth: 50mm Internal Rim width: 23mm External Rim width: 30mm Front axle: 12 x 100mm Rear axle: 12 x 142mm Discipline: Road Spokes: 21 Aero Carbon 14 crossed + 7 radial Rim Diameter: 700c Nipples: Alloy Rim material: 100% unidirectional carbon fibre Tyre compatibility: UST Tubeless Ready & Clincher Maximum weight: 120kg including bike Braking system: Centre lock only Bearings: Mavic Ceramic ETRTO Size: 622x23TC Weight: 1315g Front Weight: 600g Rear Weight: 715g Understanding the different Mavic freehub body acronyms: HG or M11 – Shimano HG Road 11/12x (other speeds with spacer) MS - Shimano Microspline XD - SRAM XD XD-R - SRAM XD-R ED11 - Campagnolo 9/12x N3W - Campagnolo 13x Tech Info Click here for additional tech information Specific Mavic Adaptive Layup The Mavic Comete 50 rivals the best wheels in still conditions, with a carbon weave optimised for the ideal balance of stiffness, weight and vibration absorption. As soon as the wind picks up, from around 10 km/h at a 10 to 20 degree incidence, the rim profile comes into its own and saves between 5 and 10 watts. Every fibre orientation has been tuned to meet the aerodynamic and mechanical demands of road racing. Mavic Aero Wide Rim & Shorter Footprint rim shape A section developed and validated through repeated testing. Objective: minimise drag, stabilise the wheel in crosswinds, maximise control at high speeds, improve ground contact surface efficiency.
Instant Drive 360 technology Super light and efficient. The large contactless rubber seal provides low friction, while a wide array of end caps makes it super versatile. UST tubeless technology Traction and control. The UST concept improves traction, control and comfort whilst reducing inertia and flats. Aero Spokes carbon spokes Ultra-flat, lightweight, and perfectly aligned to transmit power with surgical precision. Spoke shape determined by wind tunnel testing to reduce drag from frontal and rotational airflow. 18% less rotational drag vs standard flat carbon spokes. What's in the box?
Wheelset User guide UST valve not mounted on the wheel UST rim tape mounted on wheel ASTM category 1 : road only The combo for pure speed The Mavic Comete 50 combines aerodynamics, low weight and rolling efficiency into a single fast package, refined through multiple iterations and wind tunnel testing in Geneva. Over a 50km course it can deliver up to 12 seconds of gain, a tangible advantage that shows up directly in your times. Full Carbon Reactivity you can feel The Adaptive Layup structure combines T700, T1000 and 3K fibres for the ideal balance of stiffness and dynamic behaviour, while 21 flat carbon spokes transmit every watt without loss and absorb road vibration for improved comfort and control. Every acceleration is more direct. Every trajectory more precise. Mavic Ceramic bearings with ultimate control Each component is validated on in-house machines capable of 57 different tests before a second round confirms the performance of the fully assembled wheel. Every detail of the hub has been redesigned for marginal gains: 40-tooth ratchets, optimised freewheeling spring, Mavic ceramic bearings, a more aerodynamic hub shell, lighter hub bodies and Locked-In Spoke Heads to stabilise spoke tension over time.
