Specialized Roval Alpinist CLX II 700c Front Wheel

Experience unparalleled performance on every ride with the new Alpinist CLX II—the lightest and most agile clincher wheels ever crafted by Specialized. Designed to bring your bike to life, these wheels offer hyper-responsive acceleration, exceptional cornering precision, and remarkable smoothness over rough terrain, all enhanced by the advanced tubeless system. Every gram counts, whether you’re conquering steep summits or seeking superior ride quality, because true perfection comes from eliminating anything unnecessary.

Achieving the extraordinary responsiveness and handling of the tubeless Alpinist CLX II requires more than just a lightweight rim. This wheelset is engineered as a complete system, with Specialized’s experts meticulously controlling and testing every component—from hubs and rims to spokes and lacing. Developed in harmony with Specialized Tubeless tires, the result is a 1250-gram tubeless wheelset that delivers an otherworldly riding experience.

The Alpinist CLX II features a hooked rim design, enabling real-world tire pressures up to 110psi for those who demand it, while ensuring secure tire bead retention. This innovation also makes setup and mounting easier than ever before. Despite nearly doubling current industry impact standards, these wheels maintain an impressively light weight without compromise.

At the core of the Alpinist CLX II are the brand-new LightAF hubs, which shed 50 grams compared to previous models thanks to sleek low-profile hub bodies and precision-machined rotor mounts. Inside, DT Swiss EXP internals paired with SINC ceramic bearings ensure silky-smooth efficiency and exceptional durability ride after ride.
