Mavic Cosmic Carbone 40 Elite : Black

Season:2015

Brand:Mavic

Code:MCC40E

After the success of Mavic's Cosmic Carbone 40 C last year, Mavic have produced a more affordable version for the wider market. At nearly £400 cheaper, the Cosmic Carbon 40 ELITE strips some of the non-essential trimmings from it's more prestigious stablemate and is supplied without wheel bags, to leave a wheel that is essentially the same in terms of overall performance but at a lower cost. Sharing the same rim as the 40 C with it's already legendary heat dissipation, the Elite has a more modest hubset - no longer carbon but using a similar set as found on the Cosmic SLE, it is laced in the same way to yield impressive stiffness often lost in full-carbon clinchers.

If you are in the market for a wheel upgrade but are struggling to decide exactly what you want or need (2 very different things!) then the Mavic Cosmic Carbone 40 ELITE could be the perfect solution. 

A pair of Carbon clinchers from some of the leading names in full-carbon construction (ENVE and Zipp for example) have weights that are a fraction lighter than the Mavic 40 Elite (1545g without tyres) but the difference is marginal when you factor in pricing! One of the key benefits of the Mavic Cosmic Carbone 40 Elite is it's seriously impressive braking performance. Mavic claim a stopping distance that is twice as short as the competition in the wet and better than their own aluminium brake surface. That performance coupled with the inherent increase in confidence is the kind of feature that gets you through the field in those technical circuits or tight corners where your rivals are gingerly applying their brakes.

Further to the improved and consistent braking it yields and unlike other carbon clinchers whose stiffness is limited by the strength of the carbon rim, Mavic's Cosmic 40 Elite uses a carbon / alloy fusion construction - featuring Maximum Glass Transition Temperature (TgMAX) technology - to offer stiffness that is claimed to be 10 percent greater than the best of the competition, and close to 50 percent better laterally for the whole wheel. This makes brake rub and stability - historically the bane of many a set of Carbon Clinchers - a thing of the past.

TgMAX consists of laying up several types of high-tech resins, then fixing them using a proprietary heat treatment process to achieve the highest possible resistance to braking heat. This gives consistent and efficient braking, whatever the climatic conditions, on what Mavic claim to be the "most reliable carbon rim, able to resist the highest abuse by the most brutal riders in the worst conditions."

The Ultimate all-round wheelset, the Mavic Cosmic 40 Elite at the new price point is the ideal wheel for the rider who requires a solid, all-round performer for century rides, day-to-day riding and training as well as a having a wheelset that can hold their own when put to the test in weekly races, Triathlon or TimeTrials - all the while keeping costs to a sensible and relationship-sustaining low!

Available with the new Chrome,  Black or the original White graphic.

NB: The wheels are supplied with Swiss Stop Yellow King carbon pads. This is the OPTIMUM compound and Mavic recommend the Yellow King over and above the newer Black Prince pads. This is because the 40 C wheels were developed with the Yellow King. Black Prince will work but not as well and you will be replacing them regularly!
