Specialized Roval Rapide C Disc Wheelset

They are designed for both. With a 21mm internal rim width and durable construction, they handle light gravel and rough pavement comfortably, though they are optimized for road efficiency.

These wheels are tubeless-ready, meaning they work perfectly with tubeless setups for better puncture protection and lower pressures. However, they are also fully compatible with standard clincher tires and inner tubes if you prefer a traditional setup.

The DT Swiss 370 hubs are known for their reliability and ease of service. Because they use a standard 18t ratchet system and cartridge bearings, most local bike shops can easily service or replace parts when necessary.

The 38mm depth is a 'sweet spot' for versatility. It provides a noticeable aerodynamic advantage over standard shallow rims without being deep enough to catch crosswinds aggressively, making them predictable and stable in gusty weather.

The stock freehub is an 11-speed HG style. If you are running a 12-speed drivetrain, you will likely need to swap the freehub body to the appropriate standard (such as SRAM XDR or Shimano Micro Spline) to match your specific cassette.

With a 21mm internal width, these rims are optimized for modern road tires ranging from 25mm to 32mm. While you can technically fit wider gravel tires, check your bike frame's clearance first, as the rim width will cause the tire to sit slightly wider than its labeled size.
