Specialized Roval Terra Aero CLX Gravel Wheel (Satin Carbon/Gloss Black) (Front) (700c) (Centerlock) (Tubeless)

Specialized Roval Terra Aero CLX Gravel Wheel Description:

The Specialized Roval Terra Aero CLX Gravel Wheel is designed for gravel bike riders whom are looking for the best efficiency and speed that they can achieve with zero compromises. By combining a taller rim height (50mm in front, 45mm in the rear) with a 38.5mm wide exterior width and using a Chopped Aero Speed rim shape, the engineers at Specialized/Roval noticeably reduced aerodynamic drag compared to previous generations of Roval gravel wheels, helping riders to conserve energy and shaving precious seconds from the race time. These tubeless ready rims also feature a thick hooked bead and a generous 27mm inner width that provides great support for wide, large volume gravel tires and reduces tire squirm during cornering. As burly as these wheels appear to be, advanced carbon fiber rim construction and exceptionally lightweight Roval by ARRIS Straight Pull Composite Aero Spokes minimize rotating weight and ensure effortless acceleration and climbing. Last but not least, at the center of the Roval Terra Aero CLX Gravel Wheel is a low flange centerlock disc hub stuffed with proven, smooth rolling DT Swiss 180 internals (including SINC ceramic bearings and 36T Ratchet EXP freehubs), and when all of the parts are added together the result is the right blend of aerodynamics, comfort, durability, and outright speed that makes this wheel a great upgrade for anyone that is serious about challenging for a podium spot.

Features:

• Lightweight, aerodynamically enhanced carbon fiber tubeless ready gravel wheels save energy and precious seconds, perfect for race day on the gravel bike
• Front and rear specific rim depths (50mm in the front, 45mm in the rear) feature a unique 38.5mm wide Chopped Aero Speed profile to deliver significant energy savings and speed compared to previous Roval gravel wheels
• 5.38mm wide bead hook width is very strong and will enhance the protection from flats and sidewall damage caused by impacts
• 27mm internal width adds extra air volume and prevents larger volume tires from excessively rolling over when cornering, and will accept 700c x 35mm to 700 x 60mm wide tires
• Tubeless ready rim construction allows lower tire pressures to be used for a smoother, more comfortable ride over rough terrain and to provide better braking and cornering traction
• Max recommended tire pressures (also double-check the pressure range on the side of the tire to avoid overinflating):
• 35mm: 70 PSI
• 36 – 45mm: 55 PSI
• 46 – 50mm: 45 PSI
• 51 – 60mm: 40 PSI
• Roval Low Flange Road Centerlock Disc Hubs front and rear are filled with proven DT Swiss 180 36T Ratchet EXP internals and SINC ceramic bearings for incredibly low rolling resistance and minimal maintenance
• Roval by ARRIS Aero Composite/Ti spokes boost the wheels lateral stiffness for predictable, stable handling and shaves off a significant amount of rotating weight resulting in much easier acceleration and climbing
• Rear wheel will include a SRAM XDR freehub pre-installed on the wheel; a Shimano HG 11/12 speed freehub and thru axle endcaps are included with each order
• Each wheel (front or rear) will include 4 extra spokes/nipples, alloy tubeless valves and tubeless tape pre-installed, and a wheel bag
• 275 lbs system weight limit (weight of the bike, clothing, the riders body weight, and any other gear)
