The Roval Rapide CL III wheels are engineered to deliver elite race-day performance with a balanced blend of speed, stability, and value. Developed as a direct descendant of the flagship CLX III wheels, the Rapide CL III takes advantage of an aerodynamic front/rear rim profile strategy: a deeper 51mm front rim maximizes aero performance where it matters most, while a 48mm rear rim trims rotational weight for snappier acceleration and enhanced handling. Built for road racing and high-performance riding, these wheels feature hooked carbon clincher rims with a 21mm internal width optimized for 28mm tires. Please note: front and rear wheels are sold separately.

Equipped with DT Swiss 350 EXP hubs and a 36T ratchet system, the Rapide CL III delivers proven reliability and quick engagement. Stainless steel bearings keep things smooth, while the spoke setup—18 front and 24 rear—uses DT Swiss Competition Race straight-pull spokes laced in an efficient 2:1 pattern. The FlatStop bead hooks enhance durability, requiring 39% more force to flat, providing best-in-class puncture protection. Both wheels are Center Lock disc compatible, tubeless-ready, and hand-built to meet the rigorous standards of road racers and performance-focused riders alike.

Weighing just 1,555g per set (716g front, 839g rear, with tape and valves), the Rapide CL III offers exceptional performance for its class. The wheels are UCI-approved, E-bike compatible (up to 350W systems), and come with a limited lifetime warranty. Each wheel includes extra spokes and nipples for easy serviceability. With their aerodynamic design, dependable hub internals, and precision build quality, the Rapide CL III wheels are an outstanding choice for riders seeking podium-ready speed and all-day reliability—sold individually to suit your build needs.
