Specialized Roval Alpinist CLX Rear Wheel (Carbon/White) (Shimano/SRAM) (12 X 142mm) (700c / 622 ISO) (Centerlock)

Conquer mountains, flatten hills, and feel your bike come alive with the lightest road clincher wheels Roval has ever made. Mass is the enemy of performance, and there’s no room or excuse for a single excess gram when chasing KOMs and mountaintop primes. Weight has been pared to the absolute minimum in order to capitalize on every watt of energy without sacrificing any of the strength, ride quality, and durability that are crucial to long-term performance and satisfaction.

In order to achieve a 1284g wheelset Roval had to take into  account the whole wheel system rather than just the rim. Hub design, spoke spec and lacing pattern are key aspects that contribute to not only the weight of your wheel but also the riding characteristics. Eliminating the outside variables allows roval to optimize the Alpinist CLX wheelset with a precise amount of material in the proper places to achieve their desired goal.
