Gravel racing now demands the same level of aerodynamic discipline historically reserved for World Tour races. Riders are pushing into ever-higher speed ranges where aerodynamic drag is a significant factor—all while tackling tougher terrain and riding on larger tires. The Roval Terra Aero CLX 700C Front Wheel we’re featuring here at Escapa is up to 5.84 watts faster than the previous generation, with a completely innovative 50mm Chopped Aero Speed design.
