ROVAL Rapide CL III 700c Wheelset

The Roval Rapide CL III 700c Wheelset brings WorldTour-inspired aerodynamic performance to more riders, delivering speed, efficiency, and control in a race-ready carbon package. Directly descended from the flagship CLX III, the Rapide CL III flips aero convention with a deeper front rim for maximum aerodynamic gain and a shallower rear rim for faster acceleration and sharper handling.

Built for road racing and high-performance riding, it pairs advanced rim design with proven DT Swiss 350 EXP Hub reliability and Roval’s FlatStop Bead Hook technology for exceptional puncture resistance.
