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.\nDisc wheels often fall into two categories—a completely flat shape, with structure coming from carbon fiber and a honeycomb-foam filling, or a spoked wheel that's been faired with a carbon fiber cover. In our quest to break traditions, the 321 uses a single layer of 1k carbon fiber on each side of the wheel, and it all comes together at the brake track bridge. This kind of carbon fiber 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 fiber craftsmen. It's complicated, but the payout 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.\nStiffness 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.\nAnd 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.\nTo 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 quick-release, and tubeless valve stem.\nDesigned 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.\nRim: 321 Disc, Carbon Clincher, 700c, Disc Brake, Tubeless Compatible\nRim Details: Solid Depth, 27.3mm External Width, 19mm Internal Width\nHub: Roval Disc hub, DT Swiss 240 Star Ratchet Internals, 142x12 thru axle compatible, (Convertible freehub and endcaps)\nBearing Type: Ceramic Speed\nSpokes: Full Carbon Disc\nNipple: N\/A\nTire Size: 22mm - 38mm -  Max Pressure: 130 psi\nWeight: Wheelset 1015g\nAssembly Method: Hand built at every step -  from rim layup to the last nipple turn.\nSystem Weight Limit: 240lbs \/ 109kg - Roval tubeless plugs and tubeless valve, Roval valve pocket covers, SwissStop Black Prince brake pads\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"specialized","offers":[{"title":"Carbon\/Gloss White \/ 700c","offer_id":61810699927922,"sku":"Roval 321 Disc - Disc Brake-Carbon\/Gloss White-700c","price":75.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/0664\/0754\/files\/6b88ebef5740aeb587ebfb606c571fa0.webp?v=1777348784"},{"product_id":"roval-rapide-clx-iii-specialized-roval-rapide-clx-iii","title":"Roval Rapide CLX III","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThe Fastest Race Wheels, Period.\nRoval Rapide CLX III\nThe all-new Roval Rapide CLX III wheels flip aero convention on its head for unmatched speed across any course.

This negatively impacts handling, in turn causing a rider to slow down.

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.\nThe Rapide CL II is hand-built every step of the way, from the initial lay-up to the final tensioning on the nipples.

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.\nWheels sold individually (front or rear).\nRim: Rapide CLX Carbon Clincher, 700c, Disc Brake, Tubeless.\nHub: DT Swiss 350 Straighpull Center Lock, Star Ratchet 36t internals (10 degs) , 100x12mm \u0026amp; 142x12mm, Shim.
