Roval Rapide CLX II Front Road Wheel

About the Rapide CLX II Rear Wheel

Since 2020, Rapide CLX wheels have won more races on the World Tour than any other wheels, and we just made them faster. Meet the new Rapide CLX II. Combining the aerodynamics of a deep-section TT wheel with the light weight of a shallower climbing wheel and mixing in the superior efficiency and sublime handling of a tubeless system—the Rapide CLX II delivers maximum speed for real-world riding. It elevates aerodynamic efficiency and climbing performance, yet remains masterfully stable and confident handling, regardless of wind conditions

Key Features

• Minimized drag: At 51mm deep with a 35mm external width, the Rapide CLX front rim reduces drag and increases stability. The optimised shape increasers stability in wind gust by 25% over CLX50
• Hooked Rims: The Rapide CLX II utilizes a hooked rim (allowing for real-world riding pressures up to 110psi, if that’s your thing) for secure tire bead retention and an easier set up and mounting experience than ever before.
• AeroFlange Hubs: AeroFlange hubs are aerodynamically optimized, with wide bracing angles for increased strength and reduced spoke weight. They also benefit from the reduced weight and increased strength of ceramic SINC bearings and the legendary durability of DT Swiss’ EXP freehub internals.
