Roval Rapide CLX III Rear

The Rapide CLX III system uses a shallower 48mm rear rim to save weight and improve handling. While the front wheel focuses on slicing through crosswinds, the rear wheel prioritizes explosive acceleration and stability by reducing rotational mass.

This wheel is optimized for 28mm tires. This width balances aerodynamics with the internal rim width to provide a smooth, efficient ride quality on varied road surfaces.

FlatStop Bead Hooks are a design feature that increases the force required to pinch-flat your tire by 39%. This provides significantly better protection against impact-related flats compared to standard rim designs, allowing you to run lower pressures with more confidence.

The carbon spokes are a key factor in the wheel's 215g weight reduction compared to previous iterations. They provide a stiffer, more responsive feel that translates directly into quicker acceleration when you put power into the pedals.

While it is designed for high-performance racing, the Rapide CLX III is excellent for any long road ride where speed and efficiency matter. The combination of flat protection and weight savings makes it a versatile choice for serious enthusiasts who want a faster, more reliable ride.
