COMETE 85

Main features

The TT/Tri lightweight combo for pure speed

The Mavic COMETE 85 carbon wheel is designed for pure speed, thanks to a unique combination of aerodynamics, lightness, and rolling efficiency. Our engineers conducted numerous iterations, comparisons, and validations, including wind tunnel tests in Geneva, to optimize every element of the profile. The result: Comete 85 is The fastest Mavic spokes wheel we've ever measured in the windtunnel.

Full‑carbon reactivity you can feel

Our specific Adaptive Layup structure, combining different fibers (T700, T1000, 3K), offers an ideal balance between stiffness, handling, and dynamic behavior. The aero-shaped, lightweight carbon spokes transmit every watt without loss while reinforcing the wheel's racy character.
Internal tests show that the 21/21 spokes configuration, 14/7 on each side, offers the best stiffness/aerodynamics/weight ratio for precise handling and perfect tension balance, further enhancing handling precision.
Carbon spokes, capable of absorbing vibrations, improve comfort, stability, and control.

Superior rolling efficiency

Designed primarily for fast rolling roads where aero is by far the key performance criteria ; Comete 85 is build with a low drag, air slicing 23mm Aero Wide Rim optimized for 28mm tires which will propel you to new speeds and help you to maintain it as long as possible. 21 Aero Carbon Spokes further reduce drag to offer improved speed and enhanced control thanks to lateral stiffness and vibration damping. This ensures a perfect combination with your bike to push ever harder on the pedals. To achieve pure speed, Comete 85 rolls on Mavic Ceramic bearings, the reduced friction improves rolling efficiency for ultimate smoothness and speed ride after ride.

Key technology

LightnessAdaptive Layup Carbon technology
Optimized carbon layup for tailored combo of lightness, stiffness and compliance
Efficiency RigidityInstant Drive 360 ratchet 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.
