A good road wheel makes all the difference, and at Escapa we know that—which is why we’re introducing the Roval Alpinist CLX II 700 Front Wheel. It’s perfectly suited for your training rides thanks to its excellent responsiveness, magical handling in corners, and superb performance on rough roads. Maximum performance so you can push your limits.
Feel your bike come to life on the road with the new Alpinist CLX II—the lightest and most agile clincher wheels we’ve ever built.
It takes more than just a lightweight rim to deliver the incredible responsiveness and handling of the tubeless Alpinist CLX II. The wheelset is designed as a complete system, with our engineers monitoring and testing every part of that system—hubs, rims, spokes, and lacing—and developing it hand-in-hand with Specialized Tubeless tires. The result is a 1250-gram Tubeless wheelset with an out-of-this-world ride quality.
The Alpinist CLX II uses a rim with a rim flange (which allows for actual pressures of up to 110 psi, if that’s what you need) for secure tire bead retention and an easier-than-ever mounting experience. All this in a wheel that nearly doubles current industry impact standards while achieving the lightest possible weight.
Our new LightAF hubs are the spinning heart of the Alpinist CLX II. We’ve shaved 50 grams off the previous Alpinist CLX hub with new low-profile hub bodies and machined Rotor mounts. Inside, Dt Swiss EXP internal components and SINC ceramic bearings deliver silky-smooth efficiency and exceptional durability.
