Specialized Terra CLX II

Yes, the Terra CLX II features a hooked rim design that is fully tubeless-ready, allowing you to run lower pressures for better traction and puncture protection on gravel.

With an internal rim width of 25mm, these wheels are optimized for a wide range of gravel and all-road tires, typically accommodating widths from 28mm up to 47mm or wider depending on your frame clearance.

The high-performance ceramic bearings significantly reduce rolling resistance compared to standard steel bearings, resulting in smoother, more efficient power transfer during long rides and climbs.

While engineered for the demands of gravel racing, their lightweight construction and 32mm rim depth make them an excellent, versatile choice for all-road riding where you want a balance of aerodynamics and climbing efficiency.

This rear wheel is designed for a 142x12mm thru-axle standard, which is the current industry benchmark for modern disc-brake gravel and road bikes.

The rim utilizes a robust carbon layup specifically engineered to withstand the impacts and vibrations of gravel riding while keeping the total weight down to a competitive 680 grams.
