Cheaper than the American Classics and much lighter than the Superstars, for some the hand-built 1760g Rovals will be the perfect combination.
You get 24 straight-pull DT Swiss spokes up front and 28 at the back - but
those huge alloy rims keep them tracking accurately. The extra volume they
create over narrower rims means tyres stay stable at low pressures, reducing
the chances of tubeless tyres 'burping'.
They're supplied set up for tubeless and (unlike the others) with end
caps for 20/15mm front axles and 135/142mm rears. Sadly there's no 29in version
- if you want Roval

A high-quality, no-nonsense, good-looking route to extra traction.
