Mavic Comete 50 weighs 1,308g, under Mavic's claim, at £2,299

road.cc's review of the Mavic Comete 50 puts the wheelset at 1,308g on its own scales. Mavic's product page claims 1,315 g per pair, so the measured number comes in lighter than the brochure. The UK RRP is £2,299, which the review says compares well with Fulcrum's Sharq 42 Carbon at £2,499.99.

The gap on price is £200.99 in Mavic's favour. On weight, the review reports 1,308g, described as 'a smidge over 1,300g', against Mavic's stated 1,315 g. The reviewer also found the wheels impressively stiff laterally, with no flex noticed during out-of-the-saddle efforts. The rim is a 50mm carbon fibre section, 23mm internal and 30mm external width. Tyres measured about a millimetre oversize on it: a 29mm Vittoria Corsa Pro came out at 29.97mm and a 28mm Continental GP5000 at 28.85mm. Mavic's aero claims, up to 12 seconds over 50 km and 5 to 10 W saved in wind, come from its own internal tests. The review's durability read covers roughly a month to six weeks of use.
