Specialized Roval Control World Cup Wheelset

The new Roval Control World Cup represent the ultimate evolution of high-performance Cross Country wheels. Designed alongside the top athletes of the Factory Team, they are built to deliver maximum race speed, instant responsiveness, and absolute control even on the most technical terrain.

With a record weight of just 998 g, these wheels are not only among the lightest on the market but also among the most technologically advanced. Every detail has been optimized to reduce rotating mass, improve pedaling efficiency, and ensure immediate acceleration response.

The carbon rim, hand-built construction, and carbon spokes with titanium nipples achieve a unique combination of lateral stiffness and vertical compliance. The 28.5 mm internal width is optimized for modern XC tires like Fast Trak and Air Trak, offering greater volume, traction, and cornering control.

The Roval hub with DT Swiss Ratchet EXP technology and ceramic bearings ensures extreme smoothness and reliability even in the most demanding race conditions. The result is a wheel built without compromise: pure speed, absolute lightness, and race-ready precision.

The Roval Control World Cup are not merely an upgrade but an entirely new standard for the competitive XC world.
