They are different from Cosmic Carbons, since the Mavic rim would still work without the bonded on carbon fairing, where the Shimano CL rims depend on the carbon laminations for their strength, including extra layers at the spoke holes. Mavic (and similar Hed) wheels bed the spokes in the aluminium rim, with the carbon fairing contributing nothing to spoke support.
