Wheelset
Roval Rapide CLX III
Roval's third-generation Rapide race wheelset swaps steel for Arris composite aero spokes, cutting 215 g to 1,305 g while keeping the 51 mm front / 48 mm rear rim split for crosswind control. The hooked 21 mm-internal rims with FlatStop bead hooks are designed around 28 mm tyres, on DT Swiss 180 EXP internals with ceramic bearings.
