Roval Alpinist CLX II Rear Wheel
Best lightweight upgrade for performance-focused road cyclists seeking precision handling.

By focusing obsessively on weight reduction and ride quality, it sacrifices the aerodynamic deep-section profile found on faster, flatter-road wheels, but rewards you with an incredibly lively, responsive feel on every ascent.
