Wheels

Roval's Stout SL Wheelset is a nice upgrade for any mountain bike. These fine wheels boast lightweight aluminum rims, quality hubs and stainless-steel spokes for a great ride and excellent durability.

The Control 29 is Roval's all-around cross-country 29er wheelset. Climbers like the light weight, racers love the acceleration, and trail riders love the durability. The rims are made from Specialized's E5 aluminum and are laced to lightweight hubs with DT Swiss spokes for real-world wheels that can handle all your riding yet work great for racing, too. Plus, these sweet wheels are tubeless-compatible and boast end caps for quick-release and thru-axles.

The incredibly light, extra-wide carbon fiber rims of Roval's Traverse SL Fattie 29 wheels let you scale the climbs and push the limits on the downs. Up or down, the 30mm internal rim width supports tire sidewalls better for increased volume, allowing lower pressures, more grip, less air burping, and a ride that feels like your bike gained an extra inch of travel. The sealed bearing hubs roll smooth as the terrain around you gives way to the blur. Connected, responsive, incredible. An entire vocabulary lesson of adjectives cloud your thoughts as you shove these stiff, wide hoops into a corner and they launch you out all the while begging for more. Momentarily, you sever your bond with gravity for the sweet sensation of floating. Upon touch down, solid, dependable, awesome rush into your mind. These words resound as you resume your connection to the soil, feel the quick engagement of the DT Swiss hub internals and rip on the pedals.

What you're looking at here is gravity's nemesis: Roval's Control SL 29 Wheelset. At 1,370 grams, you'll climb XC courses with ease on these lightweight, hookless-bead, carbon hoops. They're built to withstand grunting up climbs, descending with abandon, and blasting in and out of corners with Specialized carbon rims, DT Swiss spokes, and DT Swiss's legendary 240 rear hub internals. And, for easy versatility, the front hub is compatible with standard or 15mm thru-axles. Plus, these sweet race-ready wheels are tubeless-compatible and boast titanium quick releases to shave even more weight.
