Roval Control SL Rear Wheel

This wheel is built specifically for cross-country (XC) racing and down-country riding. It balances the lightweight requirements of climbing with the durability needed for technical, aggressive trail descents.

The rim features a 29mm internal width, which is optimized for tires ranging from 1.9 to 2.6 inches. This width provides a stable platform for most modern XC and trail tires.

The FlatStop bead hook design is engineered to reduce the likelihood of pinch flats. By creating a more robust interface between the tire and rim, it allows you to run lower pressures with more confidence on rocky terrain.

It utilizes the DT Swiss Ratchet LN hub system, which offers 20 degrees of engagement for immediate power transfer. Because it uses a standard DT Swiss architecture, it is widely considered one of the most reliable and easily serviceable hubs on the market.

Yes, the wheel uses a tuned carbon layup specifically designed for enhanced impact resistance. While it is lightweight, it is built to withstand the rigors of aggressive riding rather than just pure, fragile racing.
