The all-new Roval Rapide CL III wheels are a direct descendent of CLX III, turning aerodynamic convention on its head. A deeper front rim puts aerodynamic performance where it matters most. A shallower rear rim cuts unnecessary weight for faster acceleration and improved handling, helping save 35g. FlatStop Bead Hooks require 39% more force to flat, ensuring your race goes all the way to the line with best-in-class flat protection. Get there fast on any course with Roval Rapide CL III.
