Roval positions the Terra CL III as the gravel wheelset that does the work of a quiver wheel — light enough for long days with climbing, wide enough to support modern gravel rubber, and built around a hookless rim profile that prioritizes ride feel over outright aerodynamics. The Terra CL III Front Wheel is the standalone front half of that system, sold individually for warranty replacements, mixed builds, or riders who already own a compatible rear and want to round out a set.

The rim measures 25mm internal width and 32mm deep, a hookless tubeless profile designed around tires in the 40 to 50mm range that have come to define gravel riding. The wider internal channel lets a 45mm tire sit closer to its labeled width and supports the casing through cornering loads, which translates to more predictable handling when the surface gets loose. Carbon layup is tuned for vertical compliance rather than stiffness alone, a deliberate choice for the long, rough days the wheel is built around.

The DT Swiss 350 hub anchors the front wheel, running on sealed cartridge bearings with a Center Lock rotor interface. The 350 platform has a long service record across road, gravel, and cross-country racing, and replacement bearings and small parts are stocked at most service departments. Spokes are DT Swiss Aerolite bladed stainless, laced 24-count with brass nipples — a build spec that favors long-term serviceability over weight-chasing.... Read More
