Specialized Roval Alpinist CLX II Front Wheel

Feel your bike come alive on the open road with the new Alpinist CLX II—the lightest, best-handling clincher wheels they have ever made. Hyper-responsive acceleration, magic in the corners, sublime over rough roads, all elevated with the performance of a tubeless system. There's no room for a single excess gram whether you're chasing summits or ride quality because perfection is only achieved when there is nothing left to take away.

It takes more than a lightweight rim to deliver the incredible reactivity and handling of the tubeless Alpinist CLX II. The wheel is designed with Specialized's engineers controlling and testing every part of that system—hubs, rims, spokes, lacing—and developing it hand-in-hand with Specialized Tubeless tires. The Alpinist CLX II utilizes a hooked rim (allowing for real-world riding pressures up to 110 psi, if that's your thing) for secure tire bead retention and an easier set up and mounting experience than ever before. All in a wheel that almost doubles current industry impact standards while managing to achieve the lightest weight possible.

Specialized's all-new LightAF hubs are the spinning heart of the Alpinist CLX II. They carved 50 g out of the previous Alpinist CLX hub with new low-profile hub bodies and machined rotor mounts. Inside, DT Swiss EXP internals and SINC ceramic bearings deliver silky-smooth efficiency and outstanding durability.
