The Roval Control SL Team wheels are among the lightest and fastest cross country wheels of all time. Thanks to the fine balance of lightweight construction, first-class ride quality and unsurpassed stability, the Roval team has outdone itself for cross country riders.
At just 1,190 grams, these are currently the lightest series wheels. The real innovation here is the new carbon spokes. After three years of intensive material research, prototyping and extensive testing both in the laboratory and on the toughest tracks, Specialized has developed a spoke made of carbon fibres that is not only 29% lighter than its metal counterpart, but also stronger and more resistant.
When the light turns green, everyone sees only red and is out of control. How good that the Control SL Team lives up to its name. The rims and carbon spokes have optimum lateral stiffness so that you can really hit the line you've chosen. In combination with the right vertical compliance, they can tackle any terrain and also benefit from maximum traction.
This steering precision and power transfer alone will win you World Cups.
The Control SL Team are 33% more stable than the nearest comparable competitor. So you can concentrate on speed on the modern, more aggressive tracks and don't have to worry about your equipment. The wide rim flange reduces the risk of punctures by 40% compared to comparable wheels and you can simply risk everything with your preferred tire pressure to get to the podium.
If riders are looking for the fastest XC wheelset on earth, offering the highest level of control, durability and ultra-lightweight performance, then the Roval Control SL Team is just the ticket. This set is made by hand and will only be available in limited quantities.
