It's pretty widely accepted that aero trumps weight in most road riding scenarios and the addition of some deeper section wheels on your sleek road machine have the ability to add some serious speed to your ride. Leave it to the French wheel wizards at Mavic to add its wonderful tubeless technology and disc brakes to the mix with its Comete Pro Carbon SL UST Disc Wheel, providing you with some solid rocket boosters and a great ride with the promise of being able to slow you down with authority.

As part of the latest generation of wheelsets in Mavic's lineup, it incorporates the newest rim technologies giving you an absolute aerodynamic advantage on your ride in almost every conceivable situation.

The resulting shape is wide and rounded which helps with races against the clock, powering the breakaway, or sprinting for the finish of the biggest crit of the season, all without fee...   read more
