The all-new Rapide CL II wheelset brings the same Rapide CLX II speed and handling but at nearly half the price.

We’ve seen this before from the team at Roval; take the top-end wheelset , use the same rim, and swap out the DT-Swiss 240 hubs to a DT-Swiss 350. Mating the lightweight, performance-driven rim with a more economical hub creates a fast wheel that can take a beating and is much more cost-efficient.The Rapide CL II employs the same 51mm-deep front rim with a 35mm external width and 60mm-deep rear rim with a 30mm external width as the Rapide CXL II wheelset.

From extensive automotive and aeronautical reaction timing studies, Roval found that primary wind gusts between 0.5 and 2.0 seconds cause riders to struggle. A rider can react to gusts lasting between 0.5 and 2.0 seconds but will react after the wind gust is over. Essentially a rider can’t react to wind gusts shorter than 0.5 seconds; they are too short.

What happens is an overcorrection that needs to be corrected again, which is why blustery crosswinds feel so sketchy and can take down a peloton quickly. Roval instructed its algorithm to optimize stability in the 0.5 to 2.0 second window time. Faster than that, and you can’t react quickly enough to compensate. Slower than that, you can easily adjust to the side force of a crosswind. Making the ride more stable and taking the variables out that riders cannot deal with automatically.

Compared to the Rapide CXL , you can have a wheelset that weighs only 70g more and $1050 less with the new Roval Rapide CL II.Rim Details: Front – 51mm Depth, 35mm External Width, 21mm Internal Width; Rear – 60mm Depth, 30mm, External width 21mmDT Swiss 350 Straighpull Center Lock, Star Ratchet 36t internals , 100x12mm & 142x12mm, Shim.
