Terra Aero CLX Wheel

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I rode these on a mix of fast gravel and rough sections, and they feel quick without being twitchy. The hubs engage fast, and the wheels stay composed even when the terrain gets loose."

We approach modern gravel racing with a focus on aerodynamics, efficiency, and control, and the Roval Terra Aero CLX from Roval is engineered to meet those demands. As speeds increase on gravel courses, aerodynamic performance becomes a measurable advantage, and this wheelset is designed to deliver that benefit without compromising stability on unpredictable terrain.

The Chopped Aero Speed rim profile provides aerodynamic performance comparable to deeper road wheels while maintaining the handling characteristics needed for gravel riding. The carbon clincher construction keeps overall weight low at approximately 1,340g, improving responsiveness on climbs and accelerations. Composite aero spokes further reduce drag compared to traditional round spokes, while also contributing to stiffness and efficiency.

The wide rim platform, with a 27mm internal width, is optimized for tire sizes ranging from 35mm to 60mm, enhancing traction, comfort, and control across varied surfaces. Reinforced bead hooks increase flat resistance under aggressive riding conditions, and tubeless compatibility allows for lower pressures and improved ride quality. DT Swiss 180 EXP internals with a 36T ratchet system provide fast engagement and long-term durability.

Designed for high-speed gravel racing and performance-focused riding, this wheelset balances aerodynamic gains, structural strength, and tire compatibility to deliver a fast, stable, and efficient ride across demanding terrain.
