Description
The Roval Rapide CLX III redefines aerodynamic wheel design with an asymmetrical rim profile engineered for maximum efficiency. The front rim's aggressive depth cuts through wind resistance where it counts, while the rear combines a shallower profile with lightweight carbon spokes to reduce rotational mass by 215g. This weight savings translates to quicker acceleration and responsive handling in any racing scenario. FlatStop Bead Hooks provide exceptional flat resistance—requiring 39% more force to compromise—ensuring reliability when pushing hard to the finish. Built for cyclists demanding speed without compromise across varied terrain and conditions.
