Roval Rapide CLX II – Speed, Aerodynamics & Efficiency for Real-World Riding
Roval Rapide CLX II wheels have redefined speed and performance, building on their status as the most successful wheels in the World Tour since 2020. We’ve made them even faster. Combining the best of both worlds—deep-section aerodynamics for maximum speed and lightweight design for climbing—along with the superior efficiency and handling of a tubeless system, the Rapide CLX II is built to deliver unparalleled performance on the road.
Maximum Speed, Maximum Control
The Rapide CLX II wheelset is designed to be the fastest in real-world conditions. With distinct rim shapes for the front and rear, this wheelset offers 25% more stability in wind gusts compared to 50mm wheels and produces less drag than typical 65mm wheels. This aerodynamic advantage, combined with the lightweight construction, ensures you achieve both speed and stability.
Aerodynamic Rim and Handling Perfection
The Rapide CLX II features a unique hooked rim design, allowing for tire bead retention and a smooth, tubeless setup at real-world pressures—up to 110psi. The wheelset is built to withstand double the industry’s impact standards, providing an ultra-light design without compromising on durability.
Optimized Hubs and Ceramic Bearings
The AeroFlange hubs are designed for aerodynamic efficiency, with wide bracing angles that reduce spoke weight and increase strength. The SINC ceramic bearings offer exceptional smoothness and longevity, while the DT Swiss EXP freehub internals ensure excellent durability and performance.
