The Comstar wheel, sometimes referred to as Com-stars or stylised as ComStar,[1][2] was a composite motorcycle wheel that Honda fitted to many of its motorcycles from 1977[3][4] to the mid 1980s. Its design allowed it the option of being fitted with tubeless tyres and its use on the Honda CX500 was the first time tubeless tyres had been designed for a production motorcycle.[5][6]
