The all-new Rapide CL II wheelset brings the Rapide CLX II’s speed efficiency incredible handling & stability in any conditions to more riders. Built on the exact same rims as the Rapide CLX II to elevate all this performance with tubeless-done-right technology the Rapide CL II makes that performance easier to catch at check-out & you almost impossible to catch on the open road. Deep-section front rims are affected adversely by crosswinds. This negatively impacts handling in turn causing a rider to slow down. By utilizing the first modeling algorithm designed around riders’ real-world reaction times & validated by on-road testing we developed a front rim that both reduces drag & increases stability by 25% in sudden wind gusts compared to our previous 50mm rims. The rear wheel is the last thing the wind sees so we developed that rim shape to minimize drag at the trailing edge of the bike. At 60mm deep with a 30mm external width the Rapide CL II rear rim reduces turbulence & yields the greatest aerodynamic benefit. Since the rear wheel doesn’t affect steering the way the front does this deep section doesn’t adversely impact handling. Together they represent the fastest package for real-world race conditions. The Rapide CL II is h&-built every step of the way from the initial lay-up to the final tensioning on the nipples. Built on DT Swiss 350 hubs with 36t Star Ractch & Competition Race straight pull spokes the result is a set of wheels designed as a complete system that weighs just 1590 grams a set delivering incredible reliability durability & performance. The reduced rolling resistance of a tubeless setup is undeniable as are the benefits of enhanced handling & incredible puncture protection. The development of the Rapide CL II involved the most rigorous & extensive engineering & testing program we’ve ever undertaken & resulted in a wheelset that almost doubles current industry impact standards while managing to achieve the lightest weight possible. The Rapide CL II utilizes a hooked rim (allowing for real-world riding pressures up to 110psi if that’s your thing) for secure tire bead retention & an easier set up & mounting experience than ever before.

Feel your bike come alive on the open road with the new Alpinist CL II featuring the lightest best-handling clincher rims we have ever made elevated with the performance of a tubeless system. The brand new Alpinist CL II now brings mountain-taming performance slightly closer to Earth with a carefully selected build designed to let riders take full advantage of the low rim & spoke mass. The Alpinist CL II utilizes the same rim as the Alpinist CLX II. They react to even the slightest increase in power with immediate acceleration & carve the purest lines in the corners yet they can also handle almost double the impact standards of every certifying body. The result is a 1375-gram tubeless wheelset with an otherworldly ride quality designed for real-world road pressures. The Alpinist CL II utilizes components curated to keep you rolling & rolling fast. The DT Swiss 350 hubs featuring their Star Ratchet drive system are reliable & easy to service while 24 DT Swiss Comp Race Straightpull spokes front & rear laced to the rims with their alloy Pro Lock nipples are synonymous with reliability & can be obtained at any bike shop. The reduced rolling resistance of a tubeless setup is undeniable as are the benefits of enhanced handling & incredible puncture protection. It took the most extensive & demanding engineering & testing program we’ve ever undertaken. As a result of this extensive development the Alpinist CL II features a hooked rim that can handle a huge range of pressures up to 110psi & offers an easier set up & mounting experience than ever.

Since 2020 Rapide CLX wheels have won more races on the World Tour than any other wheels & we just made them faster. Meet the new Rapide CLX II. Combining the aerodynamics of a deep-section TT wheel with the light weight of a shallower climbing wheel & mixing in the superior efficiency & sublime handling of a tubeless system—the Rapide CLX II delivers maximum speed for real-world riding. We developed distinctly different shapes for the Rapide CLX II front & rear rims. The result is a wheelset that catches less drag than most 65mm wheelsets & brings a dramatic 25% improvement in stability over 50mm rims in wind gusts. The Rapide CLX II utilizes a hooked rim (allowing for real-world riding pressures up to 110psi if that’s your thing) for secure tire bead retention & an easier set up & mounting experience than ever before. All in a wheel that almost doubles current industry impact standards while managing to achieve the lightest weight possible. Our Aero Flange hubs are aerodynamically optimized with wide bracing angles for increased strength & reduced spoke weight. They also benefit from the reduced weight & increased strength of ceramic SINC bearings & the legendary durability of DT Swiss’ EXP freehub internals.
