Roval Alpinist CLX III Road Wheel

Yes, the Roval Alpinist CLX III features a hooked, tubeless-ready rim design. It is fully compatible with both tubeless tires and standard clincher setups, giving you flexibility in your tire choice.

This wheel is engineered primarily for climbing and all-around road performance. Its lightweight construction and 33mm rim depth are optimized for riders who want to minimize weight on steep gradients without sacrificing stability on technical descents.

Yes, the hub is compatible with both SRAM XDR and Shimano HG 11/12 speed freehub bodies. You will need to ensure you have the correct freehub body installed for your specific groupset.

The composite spokes are designed to reduce rotating mass, which helps with explosive acceleration. Beyond the weight savings, they contribute to a dampened, compliant ride quality that helps reduce fatigue during long days in the saddle.

The DT Swiss 180 EXP internals are known for their reliability and ease of service. Because they utilize premium ceramic bearings, they require minimal maintenance, though you should perform standard periodic checks to ensure the bearings remain clean and properly lubricated.

This wheel has an internal rim width of 21mm. This width provides a stable platform for modern, high-volume road tires, allowing them to seat properly and perform efficiently at lower pressures.
