Mavic Comete 45 Rear Wheel - 28" | Carbon | Clincher | Centerlock | UST - 12x142mm - Shimano HG

The lightweight aero combination for pure speed and ultimate responsiveness

The Mavic COMETE 45 carbon wheelset combines advanced aerodynamics with an ultra-lightweight design and exceptional mileage. The 45 mm rim height ensures low drag and confident, precise handling, while the lightweight construction maximizes responsiveness.

Thanks to Adaptive Layup Carbon technology and aerodynamic carbon spokes, this wheelset feels agile during acceleration and efficient at high speeds. Years of wind tunnel development and real-world testing have led to a new generation of aero wide rims optimized for 30 mm-wide tires. The result: a wheel that’s not only faster in all wind conditions, but also lighter, more responsive, and easier to accelerate - from flat stretches to steep climbs to technical descents.
The Comete 45 is the lightest and most agile of Mavic’s three Comete rim heights, making it the ideal companion for routes with many steep climbs and winding roads.

Ultimate Rolling Efficiency

This wheel is based on a 25 mm-wide Aero-Wide rim and is optimized for 30 mm-wide tires. It offers an outstanding balance of aerodynamics and rolling efficiency. Every detail has been validated through wind tunnel testing, testing in the Mavic Lab, and feedback from professional riders, and optimized for speed. The 21 aerodynamic carbon spokes minimize drag while increasing lateral stiffness, resulting in a direct and responsive ride feel. Combined with Mavic ceramic bearings, friction is reduced to a minimum - for smoother, faster rolling and a feeling of effortless speed on every ride.

Full Carbon - Reactivity You Can Feel

The adaptive layup construction, featuring a balanced blend of carbon fibers (T700, T1000, 3K), achieves the perfect balance between stiffness, weight, and riding dynamics. This optimized structure gives the wheels an exceptionally agile ride feel with instant acceleration and direct responsiveness when pedaling. Lightweight aero carbon spokes efficiently transfer every watt and underscore the wheel’s dynamic and sporty character. Internal tests show that the 21/21 spoke configuration (14/7 per side) offers the ideal balance of stiffness, weight, and aerodynamics, ensuring precise handling and perfect tension distribution.
The result is a wheel that feels fast, light, and responsive, while carbon’s natural vibration damping enhances comfort, stability, and control - so you can ride harder, with greater length, and faster with complete confidence.

Technologies of the Mavic Comete 45 rear wheel

Instant Drive 360 freewheel technology

The Instant Drive 360 freehub system is extremely lightweight and efficient. A large, contactless rubber seal ensures low friction, while a wide range of end caps makes it highly versatile.
