The Mavic Comete 50 carbon aero wheels are optimised for road cycling, built for speed and ultimate control. 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.
Performance and Aerodynamics
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 the rider's times.
Construction and Reactivity
The Adaptive Layup structure combines T700, T1000 and 3K fibres for the ideal balance of stiffness and dynamic behaviour. Additionally, 21 flat carbon spokes transmit every watt without loss and absorb road vibration for improved comfort and control, ensuring every acceleration is more direct and every trajectory more precise.
Hub and Bearing Technology
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, including 40-tooth ratchets, an 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.
