Specialized Roval Terra CLX III Wheel

Yes, the Roval Terra CLX III wheels are tubeless-ready. The hooked bead design is specifically engineered to securely hold tubeless tires, allowing you to run lower pressures for better traction and puncture protection.

The 27mm internal width provides a wider, more stable base for modern, high-volume gravel tires. This helps prevent the tire from squirming during hard cornering and allows the tire to maintain its intended shape, which improves both grip and impact resistance.

The DT Swiss 180 internals with ceramic bearings are designed for high performance and minimal rolling resistance. While they are highly durable, they benefit from standard periodic cleaning and greasing, similar to any high-end hub system, to ensure they continue to spin smoothly.

While optimized for gravel, these wheels are versatile enough for road use if you prefer a wider rim profile. Their lightweight carbon construction and aerodynamic design make them efficient for climbing and mixed-surface riding, though they are specifically tuned for the demands of technical gravel courses.

These wheels are designed exclusively for disc brakes using the Centerlock rotor standard. They are not compatible with rim brakes.

The composite aero spokes are designed to balance stiffness and compliance. They contribute to the wheel's rapid acceleration and efficient power transfer while maintaining enough vertical compliance to help dampen vibrations on rough gravel surfaces.
