Specialized Rapide CLX II U Wheelset

The Roval Rapide CLX II are high-performance carbon wheels designed to deliver maximum speed in any type of race, from fast classics to mountain stages. A direct evolution of the Rapide CLX, which has won numerous World Tour races since 2020, this new generation further improves aerodynamics, stability, and tubeless compatibility.

The project is based on an innovative concept: front and rear wheels with differentiated profiles. This solution allows for reduced aerodynamic drag compared to many 65mm pairs and, in crosswind conditions, increases stability by up to 25% compared to 50mm deep wheels.

The Rapide CLX II wheels combine the aerodynamic efficiency of time trial wheels with the typical lightness of climbing wheels, offering a perfect balance between speed, control, and responsiveness. The tubeless system improves comfort, smoothness, and puncture resistance, making these wheels ideal for both competitions and high-performance training.

The hooked rim profile design ensures perfect tire retention and easy installation, with pressures up to 110 psi in a tubeless setup. The AeroFlange hubs are optimized for aerodynamics and integrate DT Swiss EXP mechanics with SINC ceramic bearings, for maximum smoothness and reliability.

Hand-assembled and UCI-certified, the Roval Rapide CLX II represents one of the fastest and most complete solutions for those seeking professional-level performance.
