Feel your bike come alive on the open road with the new Alpinist CLX II—the lightest,…
We deliver! Just say when and how.
Alpinist CLX II wheels are ultra-light, reactive, and durable. They also feature hooked rims, so you can get all of the benefits of tubeless performance at pressures up to 110psi with the flexibility to choose the tire you want and the width you want.
The Alpinist CLX II rim is the most precise carbon layup we have ever created, the result of over 50 different iterations and hundreds of tests. Sure, they react to even the slightest increase in power with pure acceleration and carve the purest lines in the corners.
After two years and the biggest development and testing program ever undertaken by Roval, the Alpinist CLX II meet our extremely high internal testing standards—standards that almost double existing certification requirements.
Feel your bike come alive on the open road with the new Alpinist CLX II—the lightest, best-handling clincher wheels we have ever made. Hyper-responsive acceleration, magic in the corners, sublime over rough roads, all elevated with the performance of a tubeless system. There’s no room for a single excess gram whether you’re chasing summits or ride quality because perfection is only achieved when there is nothing left to take away.
It takes more than a lightweight rim to deliver the incredible reactivity and handling of the tubeless Alpinist CLX II. The wheelset is designed as a system with our engineers controlling and testing every part of that system—hubs, rims, spokes, lacing—and developing it hand-in-hand with Specialized Tubeless tires. The result is a 1250-gram tubeless wheelset with otherworldly ride quality. The Alpinist CLX 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. All in a wheel that almost doubles current industry impact standards while managing to achieve the lightest weight possible.
Our all-new LightAF hubs are the spinning heart of the Alpinist CLX II. We carved 50 grams out of the previous Alpinist CLX hub with new low-profile hub bodies and machined rotor mounts. Inside, DT Swiss EXP internals and SINC ceramic bearings deliver silky-smooth efficiency and outstanding durability.
