The fastest XC wheels in the world? The Control SL Team aims high.
Entering the world of mountain bike wheels, XC cyclists are looking for a perfect balance between lightness, performance and durability. The Roval Control SL Team propose themselves as the definitive answer to these needs, boasting the title of the lightest series XC wheels in the world with a weight of just 1190 grams .
At the center of this success we find the revolutionary carbon spokes , the result of a long research and development process that lasted three years. These spokes are not only 29% lighter than steel spokes, but also offer greater strength and durability .
But lightness isn't everything. The Control SL Team shines with its optimal combination of stiffness and control . The lateral rigidity, obtained thanks to the synergy between carbon rims and spokes, guarantees precise and predictable riding , allowing the cyclist to center the trajectory with ease. At the same time, the right torsional compliance allows you to dominate the path and maximize traction, even on the roughest terrain.
The Control SL Team doesn't compromise on durability either. They offer 33% higher break resistance than similar products, ensuring maximum peace of mind even on the most aggressive routes. The flat rim profile almost completely eliminates the risk of pinch flats, requiring 40% more force to puncture them than the best wheels on the market. This allows cyclists to use their preferred tire pressure without worry.
A limited edition for true enthusiasts
The Roval Control SL Team are not only exceptional wheels, but also a real collector's item. Available in extremely limited quantities , they are the ideal choice for cyclists looking for the highest level of control, durability and ultra-lightweight performance in an XC race wheel.
