Product details

Whether you're chasing a personal best on the Okanagan road loops or lining up for a local crit, every gram and every watt matters — and the Roval Rapide CLX III Rear Wheel is built to give you both. This 48mm carbon rear wheel pairs a shallower profile with composite aero spokes to shave weight and sharpen acceleration, complementing the deeper 51mm front wheel where most aerodynamic gains live.

FAQ	Q1: How do I find the right size for the Rapide CLX III Rear Wheel? This wheel is built for standard 700c road setups with a 12x142mm thru-axle and Centerlock disc mount. Confirm your frame's axle spacing and brake type before ordering — our staff can help verify fit. Q2: Is the Rapide CLX III Rear Wheel compatible with my current tires and drivetrain? It's tubeless-ready and optimized for tires in the 24–38mm range (28mm recommended for aero performance), and is available with Shimano/SRAM-compatible freehub options. Bring in your bike or check with our team to confirm drivetrain compatibility. Q3: Why is the rear rim shallower than the front on this wheelset? Roval's wind tunnel testing found that roughly 90% of a wheelset's aerodynamic benefit comes from the front wheel, so the rear uses a shallower 48mm profile to cut rotational weight and sharpen acceleration without sacrificing meaningful aero performance.
