Roval Control 29 Carbon 148 Mtb Wheelset 2020

Product Description

It’s not often that “affordable” & “carbon” appear in the same sentence but our Control 29 Carbon wheelset was designed to change that. 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. Creating a successful XC wheelset isnt as easy as you might think. Often times keeping a wheel light stiff & strong requires an unlimited budget. So when we were asked to create a wheel that had low inertia & weight but was also affordable strong enough to take on rocks & roots & wide enough to optimize traction & rolling resistance we knew that we had our work cut out for us. We started with the notion of keeping these wheels as close to their SL brethren as possible. & with this we explored what made the SLs so awesome in the first place & then we implemented nearly every aspect of them. Starting with the rim we kept our renowned Zero Hook Bead that allows for continuous fibre layup across the sidewall & rim bed. We then paired it with a wide 25-millimeter internal profile that makes it resilient to impact & creates a tire 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 we made sure to keep the lightweight reliable & affordable features in mind when building the wheelset so we took DT Swiss 350 Classic hubs (15x 110mm thru-axle front / 12x 148mm thru-axle rear) & h&-laced them with 28 DT Swiss Competition Race spokes. Finding h&-built wheels is becoming more & more difficult but were fully invested in the power of the human touch. When a wheel is machine-built there are certain margins of error that are built into the system that result in inconsistencies. With a real person building your wheels however youre sure to get a wheelset thats free of imperfections. Rim Type: Carbon clincher 2 Bliss Ready Zero Bead Hook design black graphic under clear coat.
