Discover the fastest wheels in the world: Rapide CLX II Team wheels. Designed to be lighter and more aerodynamic, to make athletes like Remco Evenepoel and Demi Vollering even faster. These wheels were developed with Specialized's equation for speed in mind: Lightness and aerodynamics + Ease of riding and durability = Speed. This limited edition represents the absolute pinnacle of road performance, reserved for the world's greatest racers, and the lucky few who manage to get their hands on a pair of these wheels.
Roval Rapide CLX II Team wheels are 130g lighter, 0.5 watt more aerodynamic and double the impact resistance standards of tubeless. With class-leading tire grip for incredible confidence on the roughest roads at any speed, Roval Rapide CLX II Team wheels offer an unrivaled combination of performance and safety.
LIGHTWEIGHT: Roval Rapide CLX II Team wheels weigh just 1,360g without valves or tape, thanks to the new carbon rim lay-up and new Roval LF hub. Over 100 carbon layup variations and hundreds of rim prototypes tested have saved 40g of weight per rim, while the new low flange hub saves 50g. Specialized has also optimized the logos and paintwork to save further weight, trimming the overall weight of the system by a total of 130g.
THE FASTEST RACE WHEELS : Speed consists of a balanced combination of the proven Rapide rim profile, DT Swiss Aerolite II spokes and the all-new Roval LF hub, resulting in air resistance savings of less than 0.5 watts compared to our Rapide CLX II wheels. So the fastest wheels in the group just got even faster. A decrease of 0.5 watts may not seem like much, but over a distance of 40 km it is equivalent to one second of time.
UNMATCHED DURABILITY : Rapide CLX II Team wheels are not only built to a higher standard of durability, but they are hooked, making them the fastest, most reliable and versatile wheels in the world. The advantage is that athletes can choose the tire and pressure best suited to their race.
UNLIMITED CAPACITY : Rapide CLX II Team wheels are the most consistent and offer riders the same aerodynamic performance with various tire sizes. Whether racing on cobblestones with 30mm tires or riding smooth, fast asphalt with 26mm tires, your aerodynamic advantage remains the same with Rapide CLX II Team wheels. With the same proven profile as the Rapide CLX II, these wheels experience 25% less crosswinds, compared to other wheels of this depth, allowing riders to not touch the brakes and push on the pedals, regardless of the wind.
SILVER IS THE NEW GOLD : The silver hubs, valves and chrome logo helped save weight by eliminating powder coating, but they weren't just looking for weight savings. When you see silver highlights on a Roval product, know that it's Specialized's secret ingredient, the new standard to beat, the best of the best.
