Specialized Roval Alpinist CL II 700c Rear Wheel

Experience unmatched responsiveness and agility on every ride with the Alpinist CL II — our lightest, most finely tuned clincher rim system to date, now enhanced with a high-performance tubeless design. Engineered for riders who demand precision and speed, this wheelset brings mountain-level durability and control to the road, allowing you to harness the benefits of reduced rim and spoke weight for a genuinely dynamic cycling experience.

Built on the same rim platform as the Alpinist CLX II, the Alpinist CL II reacts instantly to power inputs, delivering sharp acceleration and razor-sharp cornering. Despite its featherweight construction, it surpasses impact standards across all certifying bodies by nearly double, ensuring strength without compromise. Weighing in at just 1375 grams, this tubeless wheelset combines exceptional ride quality with practical durability, optimized for real-world road pressures and conditions.

Every component is thoughtfully selected to keep you rolling smoothly and efficiently. The DT Swiss 350 hubs with Star Ratchet drive provide reliable engagement and effortless maintenance, while the 24 DT Swiss CompRace Straightpull spokes front and rear, secured with alloy Pro Lock nipples, guarantee longevity and easy serviceability at any bike shop. This meticulous build assures consistent performance ride after ride.

The advantages of a tubeless setup extend beyond reduced rolling resistance — enjoy superior handling, enhanced puncture protection, and a smoother ride overall. Developed through our most rigorous engineering and testing processes, the Alpinist CL II features a hooked rim design capable of safely handling tire pressures up to 110psi. This innovation also simplifies tire installation, making setup faster and more user-friendly than ever before.
