Specialized Roval Control World Cup Wheels – Carbon 29", 998g, Tubeless Ready
The lightest and fastest XC wheels in the world – World Cup performance
The Specialized Roval Control World Cup are the lightest and fastest cross country wheels ever made. With a total weight of only 998 grams, they set a new benchmark for XC competitions, combining extreme lightness with durability, stiffness, and precise handling without compromise. Designed in collaboration with professional athletes and tested by the Factory Racing Team, these carbon wheels are made for cyclists aiming for maximum performance.
Every detail of the Roval Control World Cup has been optimized to the millimeter: from the carbon mini-hooked rim, tubeless compatible, to the low-profile hubs with DT Sinc ceramic bearings, up to the VONOA carbon spokes. The result? Lightning-fast acceleration, impeccable control, and superior puncture resistance.
