Specialized Roval Rapide CL III Wheels – Carbon, Disc, Tubeless Ready

The Specialized Roval Rapide CL III are among the fastest racing wheels in the category, designed for cyclists seeking high-level performance both in racing and training. A direct evolution of the CLX III, this wheelset combines advanced aerodynamics, puncture resistance, and acceleration responsiveness, with a perfect balance between front and rear rim.

The taller front profile improves aerodynamic efficiency, while the lower rear, 35g lighter, increases responsiveness. The FlatStop system guarantees 39% higher puncture resistance for safer and more continuous riding.
