When we set out to create the CLX 50 disc we had clear goals in mind create wheels that are 45 to 55mm deep 2bliss ready aerodynamically optimized ultra-wide & around 1400 grams. This meant that theyd have to borrow some weight savings techniques that we developed for the CLX 32 while taking some aero guidance from the CLX 64 if we were going to create what we like to call the unicorn wheel." we implemented every lightweight trick in the book without sacrificing anything to durability. & from there we studied different wheel depths ultimately deciding that meeting our strict weight & stiffness targets would be a big gamble with something too deep which is where 50mm was born from. After the depth was determined we jumped headlong into computational fluid dynamics computer modeling to arrive at various rim shapes that could make the CLX 50 as fast as possible. It took a while but we narrowed the rim shape down to three contenders that were then cnc machined into rims built into wheels & put into our win tunnel. In the tunnel we tested every wheel ours & the competitions with a 24c (measuring ~26mm wide) specialized S-Works turbo tire inflated to 100 psi as tires can drastically affect performance. Testing wheels by themselves not on a bike is often seen as malpractice but in our years of experience the numbers show that the deltas between bike & wheel & wheel alone to be consistent. After finding the most optimized rim shape that supported our svelte weight requirements we opted to lace the rims to our aero flange (af) hub which features the legendary ceramicspeed bearings & a 12x 100mm thru-axle via 16 DT swiss aerolite spokes. Now it was time for final testing validation. The result? A 50mm-deep 1415-gram clincher wheelset thats not only ~100 grams lighter than the competitions similar depth wheel but is also measurably faster in every conceivable test than every wheel in its category ...

2019 Specialized Roval Control 29 148 Carbon Mountain Bike Wheels are designed to be an affordable carbon wheel. Utilizing many of the same techniques used in the development of the SL iteration of the Control 29, these wheels provide the lightweight XC performance you need at a more attainable price. Specialized have tried to keep these wheels as close to their SL brethren as possible. Starting with the rim, they have kept their renowned Zero Hook Bead that allows for continuous fibre layup across the sidewall & rim bed. They have been paired with a wide 25-millimeter internal profile that makes it resilient to impact & creates a tyre profile that’s conducive to low rolling resistance & incredible traction. On the trail, these technical traits translate to a wheelset that many XC riders have grown to love—quick accelerations on punchy climbs, swift stopping that lets you leave braking till the last second, & unprecedented reliability. Combine this with the easy to set up our 2 Bliss Ready system & you have a reliable XC wheelset that’s as easy to climb on as it is to work on. To go along with the rim, the wheelset, uses tried & tested DT Swiss 350 Classic hubs (15x 110mm thru-axle front / 12x 148mm thru-axle rear) h&-laced with 28 DT Swiss Competition Race spokes.

2019 Specialized Roval Traverse 38 SL Fattie 148 650 Carbon Wheels give you the space you need to run wider tyres. Having a 2.8", or high-volume, tyre mated to a narrow rim makes for a squirmy, poor handling experience. Lucky for you, the new age of traction, stability, & speed has arrived—and its name is the Traverse 38 SL Fattie 27.5. Along with light overall weight, stiffness, & durability, another top priority for the Traverse SL was ease of use. First off, Specialized got rid of the creaky straight-pull spokes & corrosion-prone alloy nipples. Next up, they have used 28 J-bend spokes, for both the front & rear wheels, that are all the same length—making it easy to find replacements if needed. & finally, they have engineered a new hub design, with a wider profile & higher flange to aid in overall stiffness. The 38-millimeter Traverse SL is already wider than most offerings. A 38-millimeter internal rim width that turns the Traverse 38 SL Fatties into descending machines. A wide internal rim width endows riders with a variety of advantages that are exemplified even more with plus-sized tires. The extra width allows for more tyre volume, translating into more supple ride qualities, & better support for the tyre, meaning that youll experience less "burping" when riding tubeless & a drastic increase in traction. The Zero Bead Hook design effectively eliminates the biggest weak spot found in traditional rims, & high-modulus carbon fibre keeps the weight down. & to further this theme, the wheels also include the Roval tubeless plug system, which sheds an additional 50 grams-per-wheel compared to a rim strip. Each Traverse 38 SL Fattie is h&-built using alloy hubs with DT Swiss Competition Race spokes. Inside the hubs, youll find sealed cartridge bearings all-around, & a quick-engaging 54t DT Swiss star ratchet system in the rear that means that you can power over rocks & roots without delay.

The Traverse SL Fattie 27.5 puts all the flickable, nimble features you need in an all-mountain wheel into one package. Along with light overall weight, stiffness, & durability, another top priority for the Traverse SL was ease of use. First off, Specialized got rid of the creaky straight-pull spokes & corrosion-prone alloy nipples. Next up, they have used 28 J-bend spokes, for both the front & rear wheels, that are all the same length—making it easy to find replacements if needed. & finally, they have engineered a new hub design, with a wider profile & higher flange to aid in overall stiffness. The Traverse SL Fatties may be wide, but with a 30mm inner rim width, they’re far from the girth of a fat bike rim. Specialized tested everything from 25 to 45mm rims before landing on the 30mm as the perfect mix of additional tyre volume, cornering, traction & stiffness. The Zero Bead Hook technology that gets rid of the weak spot found in a traditional wheel, & combined it with the wider profile to make a carbon rim that effectively dissipates forces. This way, you can take abuse from rocks without the worry of cracks or dents. Specialized have built their own alloy hubs, using only the highest quality DT Swiss Competition Race spokes. Inside youll find DT Swiss 240 internals with a quick engaging 54t DT Swiss star ratchet system in the rear that means that you can power over rocks & roots without delay.
