Roval Rapide CLX III

The Fastest Race Wheels, Period.

The Rapide CLX III flips aero convention for speed on any course. Up front, a deep-profile rim slices air where it matters most. Out back, a lower-profile rim and carbon spokes save 215g for snappier acceleration and sharper handling. FlatStop bead hooks take 39% more force to pinch flat, so you can go full gas all the way to the line.
