Lightweight, durable, economic

Purchased this wheelset 2 years ago for my Epic Evo. And after riding over 2,000 miles with these wheels, they are fantastic! Can’t beat this price for quality and weight. Spokes are holding, and rims are light and tough.

Impressive Upgrade!

When you decide to upgrade to Roval carbon fiber wheels, you want improvements. Strava showed me a 5 minute improvement on a 16.5 mile course that I’ve ridden over 30 times in the past 2 years! That’s why Roval!

Simply amazing

Bought these to my epic evo. I had alloy wheels with new purgatory grid T7in front and fast trak grid T7 in back. Put rovals in with fast trak control T7 in front and T5 in back. Chance also cassette to GX eagle. Reduced weight is 750 grams!! Weight save is nice but what is even better is the feel of the bike is now insanely great it accelerates very fast and could roll forever in trails. I could not believe that it can bring so much different and better feel in driving. DT swiss hub is silent and feels strong, also the look of the hub is nice. I think that wheel upgrade for my level of rider is bit expensive but i dont think that way anymore. This is the best upgrade you can do and the control wheel price and quality is excellent. I am very happy to my upgrade and quality of the wheels. Bought these from my local shop and that brings me even more joy. Cant wait to get on the trails again with my new setup

Ritchey was wrong

Tom Ritchey said things can be light, strong, inexpensive, but you can only have two of those. These wheels prove that is wrong!

Great Value, Great Wheel-set, Great Warranty!! What more could you want?

I bought these to replace my DT M1900 wheel-set and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve probably put 200+ miles on them now and they are a game changer. This was my first time buying carbon hoops and I researched for months looking at everything available and kept coming back to this wheel-set. I’m so glad I pulled the trigger and my bike accelerates so quickly and corners better than I could have imagined. The DT350 hubs are super reliable. And with the drop in weight my XL Yeti Sb130 is now under 30 pounds. This was by far the best upgrade I’ve ever made!

Amazing upgrade!!

I never thought carbon hoops would make such a difference. I also swapped out new lighter brakes, new lighter cassette and and an Absolute Black Oval Ring but my sb130 went from 32 pounds to 29.7 pounds. These wheels are amazing, and I would of swapped to these along time ago if I new I would of noticed the improvements ASAP!! Also new tires with less weight made a huge difference!! Best carbons rims for the price IMO. I don’t know how they could be any better

I feel like my ride

I feel like my ride is more stable and the small bump chatter is more muted compared to my old aluminum rims. Feels stiffer in the corners and dropped some weight so climbing feels easier.

So Tough!!!

Stability, Control, Speed, and so tough! During Oregon’s 2022 Mudslingers XC race I flatted with about 5.5 miles left to go. Under pressure (my best race ever) I forgot to plug my tire. The tire sealant did plug the hole, but pressure dropped with less a few pounds (basically tire was flat and rim to the ground) and I was outta air. I figured I was going to destroy the wheel and the Specialized T-5 Renegade tire would rip off and I’d DNF. Nope, not a nick or trace of damage and I still placed 15th (not too shabby). By far the best wheels I’ve owned! Get them! You’ll love them!

Got them to make my Ripley a bit more XC race ready. Weight 1500 g on my scale, so very close o advertised. With Ground control front and Renegade rear the set up took 3 1/2 pounds off my burlier trail wheels and tires.

Great carbon wheels for around $1000 are hard to find. These are super light and responsive, need a few more months to tell on durability, but so far very happy with the purchase.

Stoked so far

I'm 2 weeks in, I'm definitely able to run a couple PSI less than my old SC Reserve 25/27 combo I had on and I for sure notice the weight savings in the rear. The quality and control is all there. These things are sweet. I'll check back in in a few months.
