Roval builds quality carbon wheels across a wide price point range and the Rapide C 38 Disc Wheelset brings carbon fiber high performance to the real world. It’s a versatile all-rounder equally at home crushing gravel washboards and summiting alpine passes. As such, it is optimized for use with modern wider tires, with the rim providing the right amount of sidewall support to facilitate surefooted handling in all conditions whether running tubeless ready tires or clincher tires with a tube. The Rapide C 38 wheelset is a great handling, lively climbing, robust all-road performer that also aerodynamically outperforms many deeper, aero-specific rims that cost twice as much and weighs in at right around 1600 grams for the set, with tubeless tape and valves installed. Carbon wheels are a true performance upgrade to any bike, but too often the price tag puts them out of reach. The Rapide C 38 shatters that barrier and brings a class leading Roval carbon rim and DT Swiss reliability together to provide riders with the best performance carbon wheel per dollar.

The tubeless ready, 21mm internal width of the C 38 is optimized for use with modern, wider tires, providing them with the right amount of sidewall support to facilitate surefooted handling in all conditions. At a depth of 38mm, the C 38 rim is a great handling, lively climbing, robust all-round performer that also aerodynamically outperforms many deeper, aero-specific rims. The Rapide C 38 Disc uses an ultra-reliable, rapid engagement DT 370 star-ratchet freehub for smooth power transmission and long-term dependability. The precision machined Center Lock disc rotor mount system is simple to use and easy change. Similarly, DT's Competition spokes were chosen to lace hub to rim, and finished with brass Pro-Lock nipples. The premium components that make up this wheel are assembled together into the final product by hand. They are laced, tensioned, checked, and tensioned again by practiced, professional craftsmen: an added layer of quality control that machines cannot match.
