Roval Control SL 29 6 Bolt XD MTB Wheelset

Roval Control SL 29 6 Bolt XD MTB Wheelset The stand out statistic about the Roval Control SL 29 6 Bolt XD MTB Wheelset is its weight. Coming in at a staggering 1;240 grams; these are some of the lightest off-road wheels available and would embarrass the vast majority of road wheels at a weigh-in to boot. This low weight manifests itself in extremely rapid acceleration and scalpel-sharp handling; ideal for the kind of cross-country speed that they have been designed for. Specialized hasn’t stopped at just keeping the weight down to improve the chances of a podium; as the carbon rim edge has been carefully widened and profiled to give the 4mm FlatTop design in order to lessen the potential for race-ending pinch punctures. The claim is that it now takes 22% more force to pinch puncture than previously. Premium parts continue the high-performance theme; with DT Swiss Aerolite Straightpull spokes; Pro Lock hexagonal alloy nipples and DT Swiss derived hubs. The rear hub offers a 54t quick engagement ratchet system for instant response to pedalling inputs and excellent reliability; with ceramic bearings for the least possible friction and great longevity. Please note; not compatible with tyre inserts.
