Since 2020 Rapide CLX wheels have won more races on the World Tour than any other wheels and we just made them faster. Meet the new Rapide CLX II. Combining the aerodynamics of a deep-section TT wheel with the light weight of a shallower climbing wheel and mixing in the superior efficiency and sublime handling of a tubeless system—the Rapide CLX II delivers maximum speed for real-world riding. We developed distinctly different shapes for the Rapide CLX II front and rear rims. The result is a wheelset that catches less drag than most 65mm wheelsets and brings a dramatic 25% improvement in stability over 50mm rims in wind gusts. The Rapide CLX II utilizes a hooked rim (allowing for real-world riding pressures up to 110psi if that’s your thing) for secure tire bead retention and an easier set up and mounting experience than ever before. All in a wheel that almost doubles current industry impact standards while managing to achieve the lightest weight possible. Our AeroFlange hubs are aerodynamically optimized with wide bracing angles for increased strength and reduced spoke weight. They also benefit from the reduced weight and increased strength of ceramic SINC bearings and the legendary durability of DT Swiss’ EXP freehub internals.

The all-new Rapide CL II wheelset brings the Rapide CLX II’s speed efficiency incredible handling and stability in any conditions to more riders. Built on the exact same rims as the Rapide CLX II to elevate all this performance with tubeless-done-right technology the Rapide CL II makes that performance easier to catch at check-out and you almost impossible to catch on the open road. Deep-section front rims are affected adversely by crosswinds. This negatively impacts handling in turn causing a rider to slow down. By utilizing the first modeling algorithm designed around riders’ real-world reaction times and validated by on-road testing we developed a front rim that both reduces drag AND increases stability by 25% in sudden wind gusts compared to our previous 50mm rims. The rear wheel is the last thing the wind sees so we developed that rim shape to minimize drag at the trailing edge of the bike. At 60mm deep with a 30mm external width the Rapide CL II rear rim reduces turbulence and yields the greatest aerodynamic benefit. Since the rear wheel doesn’t affect steering the way the front does this deep section doesn’t adversely impact handling. Together they represent the fastest package for real-world race conditions. The Rapide CL II is hand-built every step of the way from the initial lay-up to the final tensioning on the nipples. Built on DT Swiss 350 hubs with 36t Star Ractch and Competition Race straight pull spokes the result is a set of wheels designed as a complete system that weighs just 1590 grams a set delivering incredible reliability durability and performance. The reduced rolling resistance of a tubeless setup is undeniable as are the benefits of improved handling and incredible puncture protection. The development of the Rapide CL II involved the most rigorous and extensive engineering and testing program we’ve ever undertaken and resulted in a wheelset that almost doubles current industry impact standards while managing to achieve the lightest weight possible. The Rapide CL II utilizes a hooked rim (allowing for real-world riding pressures up to 110psi if that’s your thing) for secure tire bead retention and an easier set up and mounting experience than ever before.

Making up about 50% of your total race time the bike portion of a triathlon is where equipment choices can make the difference between first and fifth and no other equipment choice will save you more time than a disc wheel. While traditionally-shaped disc wheels are faster than their spoked counterparts the Roval 321 Disc for disc brakes turns conventional design on its head creating the fastest wheel on the planet. Disc wheels often fall into two categories—a completely flat shape with structure coming from carbon fibre and a honeycomb-foam filling or a spoked wheel that's been faired with a carbon fibre cover. In our quest to break traditions the 321 uses a single layer of 1k carbon fibre on each side of the wheel and it all comes together at the brake track bridge. This kind of carbon fibre is rarely used in bicycle components due to its high manufacturing cost but it offers a bevy of performance benefits. This coveted carbon is much lighter than other layups like 3k and 12k and it can only be laid by the most skilled of carbon fibre craftsmen. It's complicated but the pay-out is worth it as it delivers a supple ride and one of the lightest disc wheels available. And in the real world this means that it'll spin-up quickly and reduce fatigue over the length of the course. Stiffness is often the “hot-topic” in the disc wheel world but we think it’s an interesting conversation. It's long been thought that efficient power transfer and high stiffness are directly correlated but through extensive field-testing we've determined that this isn't the case at all. In fact our initial disc was so stiff that under power it wouldn't flex with the frame and this caused brake rub. This wrongly creates the perception of a flexy wheel when really the wheel is actually too stiff. In order to solve the brake rub problem we first designed our optimal aero shape and then worked on our internal stiffness targets to fit within what we consider to be a desirable frame stiffness. And while light overall weight was a development priority our focus was aerodynamics. Through hours of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and testing in the Win Tunnel we developed a never-before-seen shape that's optimized to work with a tire for on-bike airflow. What this translates to is an all-carbon disc wheel that on the non-drive-side has a shape that's as aerodynamic as our current understanding allows and a drive-side shape that's as aerodynamic as the wheel-dish and derailleur clearance will allow for. To save every possible watt we've also added CeramicSpeed bearings and DT Swiss 240 hub internals into our hub. Each 321 Disc wheel is also 2Bliss Ready right out of the box and comes with a padded wheel bag quick-release and tubeless valve stem. Designed for the most uncompromising athletes in the world with engineering to match the 321 Disc is the world's most advanced disc wheel for your race against the clock.

Taking the notion of combining flagship performance with workhorse dependability one step further, we’re introducing the Terra C. This shares the same hub and spoke architecture as the Terra CL, ensuring ease of service and spoke replacement should the need arise, and is paired with an entirely new rim layup. The rims on the Terra C share the same dimensions and broad range of tire mounting possibilities as the Terra CLX and CL – 33mm deep with a 25mm internal width – but are crafted using a new-to-us process known as Resin Transfer Molding. This is an automated process that allows us to very precisely control how resin is introduced to the layup, which in turn ensures maximum strength and material performance. The end result is an incredibly tough set of wheels that you can beat on to hell and back.Rim: Terra C RTM Carbon Clincher, 700c, Disc Brake, Tubeless Compatible,Rim Details:32mm Depth, 30mm External Width, 25mm Internal Width; ERD 577mm,Hub: DT Swiss 370 J-bend Center Lock, Ratchet LN 18t internals (20 degs) , 100x12mm & 142x12mm, Shim.
