Roval Control SL Rear

This wheel is built specifically for elite XC racing and down-country riding. It balances the lightweight efficiency needed for climbing with the durability required for more aggressive trail riding.

The 4mm FlatStop bead hook is a design feature that helps prevent pinch flats. By creating a wider, flatter surface at the rim edge, it reduces the likelihood of your tire casing getting cut against the rim during hard impacts.

Yes, the rim is compatible with tire widths ranging from 1.9” to 2.6”. This gives you the flexibility to choose narrower, faster-rolling tires for race days or wider, higher-volume rubber for more technical terrain.

The wheel uses a DT Swiss Star Ratchet hub with 36 teeth, providing 10 degrees of engagement. This offers a snappy, responsive feel when you put power into the pedals, which is essential for technical climbs and quick accelerations.

Yes, the asymmetric design helps balance spoke tension more evenly between the drive and non-drive sides of the wheel. This results in a stronger, more durable build that holds its trueness longer over rough terrain.
