The all-new Roval Rapide CL III wheels are a direct descendent of CLX III, turning aerodynamic convention on its head.

A deeper front rim puts aerodynamic performance where it matters most. A shallower rear rim cuts unnecessary weight for faster acceleration and improved handling, helping save 35g.

FlatStop Bead Hooks require 39% more force to flat, ensuring your race goes all the way to the line with best-in-class flat protection.

Best-In-Class Flat Protection

FlatStop bead hooks spread impact forces out over a wider area. That means an impact requires 39% more force to cause a flat on the Roval CLX III wheels. Win the race instead of watching it from the sidelines.

Your Secret Weapon: The Wind

The wind is always an invisible competitor, so Roval engineers designed the Rapide CLX III wheels to stay fastest across real-world conditions—from 0° to ±14° yaw. But speed means nothing without control. That’s why Rapide CLX III also delivers the best handling in the peloton and unmatched crosswind stability, helping riders stay aero longer, hold their line, or hold onto another riders wheel with confidence instead of getting gapped and wasting watts chasing back.

Class Leading Speed, Now Lighter

The Rapide CL III wheels were already the fastest wheels in its class. Now, we’ve maintained all that speed but cut 35 grams with a shallower rear wheel that improves handling and acceleration.
