Roval Alpinist CLX III

Road Climbing · 33mm · 1,131g · DT Swiss 180 EXP

Engineered for polka dot jersey contenders and riders who enjoy fast climbs, the Roval Alpinist CLX III is our lightest road wheelset yet at 1,131g — shedding 134g from its predecessor. A new lightweight hub and Roval Aero Composite Spokes by ARRIS save 103.5g while being 20% stronger than steel. And the proof is in the performance, helping Demi climb the Tourmalet 5 seconds faster than she ever has.

33mm Symmetric Depth: Shallow profile optimized for climbing and acceleration.
Roval Aero Composite Spokes by ARRIS: Save 103.5g vs previous gen, 20% stronger than steel.
DT Swiss 180 EXP Internals: 36T Ratchet EXP engagement, near-instant power transfer.
21H Front / 24H Rear: Balanced carbon spoke count for climbing stiffness.
21mm Internal Width: Optimized for 28mm tires, approved for 24mm–38mm.
Centerlock Disc: Flat-mount ready, 12x100mm / 12x142mm thru-axle.
Limited Lifetime Warranty: Hand-built, UCI approved.

Use: Road Racing / Climbing. Weight limit: 275 lbs / 125 kg.

The Fastest Way to the Top
