The Roval Alpinist CLX III 700 Rear Wheel we’re featuring here at Escapa is designed for riders aiming for the polka-dot jersey and cyclists who want to climb fast—the Roval Alpinist CLX III is our lightest road wheel. The set weighs just 1131 g, 134 g less than the previous model. A new ultralight hub and Roval Aero composite spokes—developed in collaboration with Arris—weigh 103.5 g less and are 20% stronger than steel spokes.
