The Roval Rapide CL III Front Wheel we’re featuring at Escapa is a direct evolution of the CLX III and defies aerodynamic conventions to deliver superior performance.
A deeper front rim optimizes aerodynamics exactly where it’s needed most, while reducing unnecessary weight to improve acceleration and handling compared to its predecessor.
FlatStop Bead Hooks technology increases the force required to cause a flat tire by 39%, providing you with class-leading protection so you can reach the finish line without any surprises. Speed is guaranteed on any ride with the Roval Rapide CL III.
