Specialized Roval Control Alloy 29" Wheel

Born on the World Cup, destined for your local trails. Specialized poured World Championship-winning engineering into developing an all-new alloy for these Control wheels. To increase the new material's durability, Specialized customized their shot peening process—where metal projectiles are shot at the alloy to increase its strength—meeting the precise demands of their XC riders. If that wasn't enough, to eliminate creaking and reduce weight, individually customized sleeves are chosen to bond every single rim. The result is a wildly over-engineered, trail-ripping, best-of-the-best, aluminum wheel: held to the same standards as their highest-end Control SL carbon components.

Whether you are looking for a solid set of training wheels that will handle it all, or a big upgrade from entry level wheels, Roval Control Alloy is the go-to wheel. With creak-free hoop construction that's laced to high-performance and proven DT Swiss hubs, you can tap into a wheelset born from World Cup technology that's ready for all riders.
