Roval Cl 50 Disc Wheelset 2020

Product Description

After designing the CLX 50s we realized that an affordable race-worthy carbon wheelset was nowhere to be found—until the CL 50 Disc was developed that is. We paired our quiver-killing CLX 50 Disc rim with DT Swiss Competition round spokes our Aero Flange Disc hubs with DT Swiss 350 internals & steel bearings to deliver you an exceptional wheelset at a more than accessible price. Why disc you ask? With our disc-specific rims you not only ditch the brake track but you get a stronger more impact-resistant rim. This comes at the hands of a disc-specific carbon layup that optimizes stiffness & keeps weight as close to its rim-brake brethren as possible. & all the while you get incredible brake modulation & power in all conditions. Sharing rims with the CLX 50s the CL 50s feature many of the benefits as their higher-end siblings. Even though the CL 50 is similar in weight to many wheels in the “lightweight” category aerodynamics came at the forefront of the development. With this we jumped headlong into Computational Fluid Dynamics computer modeling to arrive at various rim shapes that could make the CL 50 as fast & light 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 the Win Tunnel. In the tunnel we tested every wheel ours & the competitions with a 24C tire (measuring 26C) as tires can drastically affect testing. We chose a modern-width tire to design our rims around because they not only allow for less tire pressure (which results in more comfort & less rolling resistance) but are also just as aerodynamically efficient when paired with the correct rim width. Now it was time for final testing validation. The result? A 50mm-deep 1515-gram clincher wheelset thats race-ready & wallet-friendly. Rim Type: Carbon clincher 2 Bliss-Ready Rim
