Specialized Roval Alpinist CLX II 700c Rear Wheel

Experience unparalleled performance with the new Alpinist CLX II—the lightest and most responsive clincher wheels ever crafted by Specialized. Designed to bring your bike to life on every ride, these wheels deliver lightning-fast acceleration, exceptional cornering precision, and a smooth, controlled ride even on rough terrain. Enhanced by a cutting-edge tubeless system, they offer superior grip and comfort without compromising weight. Every gram counts whether you’re climbing steep summits or seeking premium ride quality—perfection is achieved when there’s nothing left to add or subtract.

The Alpinist CLX II’s outstanding handling is the result of an integrated system approach. Specialized engineers meticulously designed and tested every component—hubs, rims, spokes, and lacing—to work in perfect harmony with Specialized Tubeless tires. The outcome is a remarkably lightweight 1250-gram tubeless wheelset that delivers exceptional ride quality and durability beyond expectations.

Featuring a hooked rim design, the Alpinist CLX II accommodates real-world riding pressures up to 110psi, ensuring secure tire bead retention and making setup easier than ever. This innovative rim nearly doubles current industry impact standards while maintaining an ultra-lightweight profile, giving you confidence and performance in every mile.

The heart of this wheelset lies in the all-new LightAF hubs, which shave 50 grams from the previous model thanks to low-profile hub bodies and precision-machined rotor mounts. Inside, DT Swiss EXP internals combined with SINC ceramic bearings provide silky-smooth efficiency and long-lasting durability, ensuring every pedal stroke is effortless and responsive.
