COMETE 50

The Mavic COMETE 50 carbon road wheels are designed for cyclists looking for a single set capable of going fast on the flat, remaining responsive on climbs and maintaining precise tracking at high speeds. Their 50 mm profile and 23 mm internal width, combined with 28 mm tyres, optimise aerodynamics, efficiency and control. The Adaptive Layup construction combines T700, T1000 and 3K fibres to balance stiffness, weight and dynamic behaviour. The 21 Mavic Aero Carbon spokes per wheel enhance pedalling precision, whilst the Mavic Ceramic bearings and ID360 40T system improve smoothness and responsiveness. Weighing 1315 g per pair, the COMETE 50 is positioned as the lightweight, versatile aero carbon wheel for road performance

Main features

Aerodynamic speed on every route

The 50 mm rim profile and 23 mm internal width place the COMETE 50 in the category of lightweight aero carbon road wheels. The Aero Wide design was developed by our wind tunnel engineers in Geneva to improve and optimise efficiency in headwinds and crosswinds. The result is a time saving of up to 12 seconds over 50 km compared to the Cosmic SLR 45.

Full carbon responsiveness on acceleration

The Adaptive Layup structure combines T700, T1000 and 3K fibres to optimise stiffness, weight and vibration damping. The 21 Mavic Aero Carbon spokes per wheel, with a configuration (14/7) 14 crossed spokes on one side and 7 radial spokes on the other, provide perfect tension balance, enhancing handling precision, vibration absorption and comfort.
The expected result: a more responsive wheel when you accelerate, sprint or change pace.

Low-friction 40T engagement

The hub features the ID360 40-tooth double-pawl freewheel system, combined with Mavic Ceramic bearings to minimise friction and improve smoothness at high speeds. Optimised springs and lightweight hub bodies contribute to the pursuit of performance. Locked-In spoke heads provide long-lasting tension stability, a key factor in maintaining precision and reliability ride after ride, so you can get the most out of every road profile.

Key technology

LightnessAdaptive Layup Carbon technology
Optimized carbon layup for tailored combo of lightness, stiffness and compliance
Efficiency RigidityInstant Drive 360 freewheel technology
The new Instant Drive 360 freewheel system is super light and efficient. A large contactless rubber seal provides low friction, while a wide array of end caps makes it super versatile.
Efficiency RigidityUST tubeless technology
Traction and control. Universal Standard for Tubeless. Ready to ride tubeless system. The UST concept improves traction, control and comfort whilst reducing inertia and flats.
