Roval

Rapide CLX III Wheel

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The CLX III is my dream setup for high-intensity road racing. It’s lighter, more responsive, and crazy stable in gusty crosswinds. You feel the stiffness in every acceleration, and the new Roval hub just makes everything feel tighter and snappier."

The Rapide CLX III is engineered for those who race with intent. It’s a system-level approach to wheel performance that redefines speed and stability through carefully calculated rim shaping and advanced materials. With a 51mm front and 48.5mm rear rim profile, it’s optimized for 28mm tires to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve high-wind handling across all terrain.

At just 1305 grams, the CLX III stands as the lightest race wheel in its category. The new lightweight Roval hub enhances windup stiffness and spoke bracing angles while minimizing rotational mass. Thermoplastic aero spokes with titanium ends contribute to weight savings and power transfer, while wide bead hooks and hooked rims push tubeless reliability to pro-level standards, eliminating pinch flats and maximizing high-pressure retention.

This is the fastest all-around wheelset in the peloton—refined for riders who expect nothing but podium-caliber performance on race day.
