Specialized Roval Rapide Sprint CLX Wheel Description:

Specialized Roval Rapide Sprint CLX Wheels combine a pioneering effort into the world of aerodynamics with proven carbon construction for an ultimately lightweight wheelset that slices through the air during fast-paced competitive sprints. Crafted with input from Specialized’s internal research and development, Roval Rapide Sprint CLX wheels represent a shift toward the discovered benefit of mixed rim depths, pairing a 63mm deep front rim with a 58mm deep rear, a move that exacts the same benefit of dual-depth aero rims at a reduced weight that encourages absolute speed. Fabricated with intense, all-out sprints on competitive, yet flat courses, Rapide Sprint CLX wheels serve a major benefit to those looking for any chance to unleash a speedy assault.  An enlightened approach to tubeless rim construction finds Rapide Sprint CLX wheels programmed with FlatStop, a bead hook shape that drastically improves each wheel’s resilience, requiring up to 39% more force to cause the devastation of a pinch flat. Leading the trend in the pursuit of the ideal tire width for drag resistance, speed, and handling, leaves Rapide Sprint wheels with a 21mm internal rim width, a size built to favor 28mm tires for a boost of all ride characteristics.
