Specialized Alpinist SLX Disc 700c Rear Wheel

Experience unmatched performance on every ride with the lightest, most durable, and best-handling alloy wheel Roval has ever crafted — the Alpinist SLX. This wheel represents the ultimate evolution in alloy technology, earning the prestigious Alpinist name for its exceptional quality and design.

Weight is a critical factor when you're pushing for summit climbs or seeking superior ride quality. The Alpinist SLX wheels deliver outstanding stiffness to maximize power transfer during high-intensity efforts, while offering precise and confident handling. Thanks to a newly engineered shot peen treatment, these wheels boast increased fatigue resistance, enhancing their longevity and reliability. Coupled with proven DT Swiss 350 hubs and Sapim spokes, Roval has successfully reduced the overall weight by 30 grams—because every gram truly matters on the road.

LIGHTWEIGHT COMBINED WITH RIDE QUALITY: As the first alloy wheel to bear the Alpinist name, the Roval Alpinist SLX weighs just 1,485 grams* due to the use of premium 6061 alloy and meticulous craftsmanship. This weight reduction translates directly into a more responsive, agile ride that riders can feel in every pedal stroke.

*1,485 grams reflects production sample weight. Final weights may vary slightly.

TUBELESS COMPATIBLE FOR ENHANCED PERFORMANCE: Designed with a shallow 24mm rim depth and tubeless compatibility, the Alpinist SLX delivers exceptional ride comfort and efficiency. This setup reduces rolling resistance, improves shock absorption, and provides superior flat protection, making it ideal for riders who demand reliable performance on varied terrain.

ENGINEERED FOR RELIABILITY AND DURABILITY: The shot peen treatment extends fatigue life, ensuring these wheels remain sturdy under the toughest conditions. Integrated with trusted DT Swiss 350 straight-pull hubs and Sapim D-Light spokes, the wheelset offers exceptional strength and durability without compromising weight.
