Which of these Roval Tour de France wheelsets is best for your bike? The Alpinist CLX II vs the Rapide CLX II Cycling TDF2022 Specialized_UK Ad
A set of carbon wheels is the ultimate upgrade for most road riders, but with so many wheelsets out there, it can be tricky to know what you need. Thankfully, Roval has provided us with two of their best wheelsets, the Rapide CLX II and the Alpinist CLX II to help you choose what type of wheel is best for your road bike.
But given the low claimed weight of just 1,520g, this wheelset should be perfectly at home on punchy climbs. While the depth is what we usually look towards when determining how fast a wheelset will be, the Rapide CLX II hoops also pack a super-wide front rim profile to maximise crosswind stability. Another area where deep wheels are great is stiffness and that comes in handy whenever there is a town sign coming up because as we all know, a group ride always descends into a race with a sprint finish for the local town sign. With the winner getting first place in the cafe queue, it could be argued that these races are more important than the Tour de France.
With a claimed weight of just 1,265g, we can’t really ignore the climbing abilities of these wheels. While aero has trumped weight in the past few years, you’re still going to benefit from shaving those grams when the hills get steep and there are plenty of riders out there who love to dance on these challenging gradients.
So if you’re all about aero and wanting to go really fast, then a wheelset like the Rapide CLX II would be the way to go, but if you’re looking more towards an upgrade in the way your bike handles or goes uphill, then something like the Alpinist CLX II would be the wheel to pick.With the new CLX II models, Roval has also brought back tubeless tech. This is a really important feature to look for if you’re trying to save those precious watts as Roval says that tubeless alone is worth 3.
