Roval Control SL VI Wheelset

The FlatStop bead hook features a unique 4mm design that creates a wider contact surface for the tire. This specific shape significantly reduces the risk of pinch flats by 39% compared to traditional, sharper bead hooks.

While optimized for XC racing and 'Down Country' riding, the tuned carbon layup and asymmetric rim profile provide enough durability for technical terrain. They are built to handle the demands of rougher race courses without sacrificing the lightweight feel needed for climbing.

Yes, the rims are compatible with both tubeless setups and standard tube-type clincher tires. However, they are designed to perform best when set up tubeless to take full advantage of the FlatStop bead hook technology.

The DT Swiss 350 hubs are widely regarded for their reliability and ease of service. The star ratchet system is straightforward to maintain, requiring only basic tools and occasional cleaning and re-greasing to keep the engagement crisp and fast.

The asymmetric profile allows for more balanced spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides of the wheel. This results in a stronger, stiffer, and more durable wheel that tracks better through corners and handles impact loads more effectively.

The Roval Control SL VI wheelset uses the industry-standard Boost spacing, featuring a 15x110mm front axle and a 12x148mm rear axle. Please verify these measurements against your frame and fork specifications before purchasing.
