The Mavic COMETE 50 carbon road wheels are designed for cyclists looking for a single set capable of going fast on the flats, staying responsive on climbs, and maintaining precise tracking at high speeds. Their 50 mm profile and 23 mm internal width, combined with 28 mm tires, optimize aerodynamics, efficiency, and control. The Adaptive Layup construction combines T700, T1000, and 3K fibers to balance stiffness, weight, and dynamic performance. The 21 Mavic Aero Carbon spokes per wheel enhance pedaling precision, while Mavic Ceramic bearings and the ID360 40T system improve smoothness and responsiveness. Weighing 1,315 g per pair, the COMETE 50 is positioned as a 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 optimize efficiency in headwinds and crosswinds. The result is a time savings 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 fibers to optimize stiffness, weight, and vibration damping. The 21 Mavic Aero Carbon spokes per wheel, with a (14/7) configuration 14 crossed spokes on one side and 7 radial spokes on the other, provide perfect tension balance, which enhances steering 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, paired with Mavic Ceramic bearings to minimize friction and improve smoothness at high speeds. Optimized springs and lightweight hub bodies contribute to performance. Locked-In spoke heads provide 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.
