The Mavic COMETE 85 carbon wheel is designed for maximum 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 optimize every detail of the profile. The result: The Comete 85 is the fastest Mavic spoked wheel they’ve ever measured in a wind tunnel.
Mavic’s proprietary adaptive layup structure, which combines different fibers (T700, T1000, 3K), offers an ideal balance between stiffness, handling, and riding dynamics. The aerodynamically shaped, lightweight carbon spokes transmit every watt without loss and underscore the wheel’s sporty character.
Internal tests show that the 21/21 spoke configuration (14/7 on each side) offers the best balance of stiffness, aerodynamics, and weight for precise handling and perfect tension distribution, further enhancing riding precision. Carbon spokes absorb vibrations, thereby increasing comfort, stability, and control.
The Comete 85 was designed primarily for fast roads where aerodynamics are the key performance factor. It features an aerodynamically optimized 23 mm low-drag aero rim, designed for 28 mm tires, which helps you reach new speeds that you can maintain for as long as possible. 21 Aero carbon spokes further reduce drag and, thanks to their lateral stiffness and vibration damping, deliver greater speed and improved control. This ensures perfect harmony with your bike, so you can always pedal with maximum power. To achieve maximum speed, the Comete 85 runs on Mavic ceramic bearings. The reduced friction improves rolling efficiency, ensuring ultimate smoothness and speed, ride after ride.
The Instant Drive 360 freehub system is extremely lightweight and efficient. A large, contact-free rubber seal ensures low friction, while a wide range of end caps makes it extremely versatile.
Optimized carbon layup for a tailored combination of lightness, stiffness, and compliance.
Traction and control. Universal Standard for tubeless. Ready-to-ride tubeless system. The UST concept improves traction, control, and comfort while reducing inertia and the risk of flat tires.
