Your super-aero lightweight wheels. The fastest Mavic spoked wheels ever made.
The Mavic COMETE 85 carbon wheel is designed for pure speed, thanks to a unique combination of aerodynamics, lightness, and rolling efficiency. Mavic engineers conducted numerous iterations, comparisons, and validations, including wind tunnel tests in Geneva, to optimise every element of the profile. The result: Comete 85 is the fastest Mavic spoke wheel they ever measured in the wind tunnel.

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.

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.
