The new Roval Control SL Carbon are here

Every gram counts in the Cross Country races, but the terrains aggressiveness on which it competes makes it clear that only light wheels are not enough. To a low weight to improve the inertia, you must also add the hardness and resistance demanded by the stones and roots that you will find on the road. Well, Specialized has thought about that and more and now presents its new Roval Control SL 29.

If you are looking for pure competition performance and you know the trajectory of these wheels, you can be sure they are exactly what you are looking for. This model update has a carbon rim with 25 mm of internal width and a Tubeless Ready profile of 30 mm, as well as competition DT spokes with radial mounting on the front wheel and 3-cross on the rear. They include the DT240 internals, the latest and the best. And all this with less than 1400 g the set in any of its versions!
