Roval Rapide CLX II Team Wheelset

Roval Rapide CLX II Team Wheelset

Introducing the fastest wheels in the world. Designed in collaboration with their World Tour riders, these wheels are engineered to enhance the speed of cyclists like Remco Evenepoel. The Rapide CLX II Team wheels were developed using their formula for speed: Lightweight + Aerodynamics + Handling + Durability = Speed. These limited edition wheels represent the pinnacle of road racing performance, reserved for the elite riders of the world and the fortunate few who acquire a set.

The Roval Rapide CLX II Team wheels are 130g lighter, 0.5 watts more aerodynamic, meet tubeless impact standards twice the industry norm, and adhere to their rigorous tyre retention testing standards, making these the fastest race wheels. Period.

LIGHTWEIGHT: The Roval Rapide CLX II Team wheels are 130g lighter, weighing in at 1,360g without valves and tape due to new carbon rim layups and a new silver hub. Fifty-seven carbon layup variations and over 100 rims tested save 40 grams per rim, while the new low flange hub saves 50g. Limiting logos and paint save an additional 2g per wheel resulting in a 1,360g wheelset.

THE FASTEST RACE WHEELS: Speed involves balancing the right elements, and the combination of DT Swiss Aerolite II spokes with the all-new Roval Hub resulted in a 0.5-watt drag saving compared to their Rapide CLX II wheels, making the fastest in the peloton even faster. A 0.5-watt decrease in power may not seem significant, but over 40km it amounts to one second.

UNMATCHED DURABILITY: They understand that hookless wheels can’t perform under their stringent high-pressure testing standards. Any carbon wheel can crack under intense impact, but that’s no excuse for a tyre to blow off. That’s why their Rapide CLX II Team wheels are not just built to a higher durability standard, they are hooked, resulting in the fastest, most dependable, and versatile wheels in the world.

LIMITLESS CAPABILITY: The Rapide CLX II Team wheels are the fastest in the peloton, but they’re also the most consistent, offering riders the same aerodynamic performance across various tyre sizes. Whether racing a cobblestone course with 30mm tyres or riding on smooth tarmac and opting for 28mm tyres, the aerodynamic advantage remains the same with the Rapide CLX II Team wheels.

SILVER IS THE NEW GOLD: Silver hubs, valves, and the chrome Team logo helped save weight by eliminating powder coating and paint, but it’s not just weight savings they were aiming for. They are also sending a message. When one sees silver on a Roval product, know that it’s their secret formula, the new standard to beat, and the epitome of excellence.
