ROVAL ALPINIST CLX DISC CARBON WHEELSET
A pure climber's dream, the new Alpinist CLX is the lightest road clincher wheelset they have ever made. When climbing, mass is the enemy of performance, so they pared the Alpinist CLX down to the absolute minimum to capitalize on every precious watt of energy without sacrificing any of the strength, ride quality and durability that are crucial to long term performance and satisfaction.

Systems Approach
In order to create a 562-gram wheel, Roval developed each wheel as a complete system. By making wheel systems, not just rims, the engineers can control every aspect of the design; rim, hub, spoke spec and lacing pattern. This eliminates variables associated with off-the-shelf components, which in turn allows us to optimize weight and strength. Bottom line - the Alpinist CLX has precisely the amount and type of material needed, in precisely the correct place, and not a gram of fat anywhere.

Rim Layup
For the Alpinist CLX rim, they utilized a complex and precise carbon fiber layup schedule in order to minimize weight, optimize strength and durability, and serve up a smooth riding, superb handling wheel.

Lighter, Stronger, Faster
The AeroFlange hubs form the basis of strong, light, fast wheels. Aerodynamically optimized, with wide bracing angles for increased strength and reduced spoke weight, they also benefit from the reduced weight, increased strength and reliability of DT Swiss’ new EXP freehub internals.
