Roval Rapide CLX II Front Wheel 700C, Satin Carbon/Gloss White

Specialized has succeeded in making the multiple World Tour winner Rapide CLX even faster. To do this, the improved model combines the aerodynamic properties of the high profile rims of a time trial wheel with the low weight achieved by wheels specialized in climbs with their flat cross-section.

To get the most out of aerodynamics, the front and rear wheel, which are otherwise similar in rim shape, differ slightly in their profile design. Nevertheless, the Specialized Rapide CLX II remains unsurpassed stability and convincing handling regardless of wind conditions.

In addition to refined aerodynamics and outstanding climbing capabilities, the carbon wheel also features the superior efficiency and superb control of a Tubeless system. In sum, the Rapide CLX II delivers maximum speed for ambitious demands. The finishing touch is the high quality of manufacturing: from the arrangement of the carbon fiber mats to the last nipple, everything is handmade.
