Roval Rapide CLX II Disc Wheelset

Roval Rapide CLX II Disc Wheelset Roval’s hugely impressive Rapide CLX II Disc Wheelset manages to combine speed; strength and low weight; all whilst being tubeless-ready and disc compatible. With a claimed weight of just 1;520 grams; there are no problems when it comes to climbing; but it is on the flat that the Rapide CLX II really shines. Specific front and rear profiles allow the wheelset to perform as well aerodynamically as most 65mm rims; but is 25% more stable in crosswinds than Roval’s CLX50 wheelset. The super-wide design smooths the air over the rim / tyre junction and the hooked design means that there is the widest possible choice when it comes to tyre selection; as both tubed and tubeless setups can be used. A tiny reduction in rim size provides a modicum more slack when fitting tyres; reducing the pain of mounting too-tight tyres. The Roval AFD hubs utilise DT Swiss’ top-tier 180 internals; with the Ratchet EXP 36 system providing incredibly rapid engagement for near-instant changes in speed. The AeroFlange hub design increases the wheels’ strength and allows for lighter spokes to be used without any disadvantages; and the SINC ceramic bearings used ensure low-friction rolling and increase durability.
