The Lightest XC Wheels in the World

Barely tipping the scales at 998g, the Roval Control World Cup wheels are engineered for those who demand speed without compromise. From carbon spokes and an optimized rim geometry, to redesigning the layups, every component was looked at to shed weight while delivering superior performance. Even the smallest details, like a new ultralight rim tape and redesigned valve stems were scrutinized—because perfection is found in the fractions.

Optimized new rim shape saves 44g while exceeding durability and ride quality standards.

Layup Optimization

Refining every detail saves 36g without sacrificing durability or performance.

Carbon Spokes

Carbon spokes with titanium fittings save 101.6g while boosting strength and durability.

Ultralight Rim Tape & Valves

They Punch Above Their Weight Class

Durability & Ride Quality

The biggest time killer for World Cup racers? Technical failures, especially flats. That’s why the 998g Roval Control World Cup doesn’t just deliver speed—it’s built for unmatched durability and flat prevention on today’s brutal tracks. In 2024, the Specialized Factory Racing Team completed every race without breaking a rim. Engineered with optimized stiffness, advanced layups, and FlatStop pinch flat protection, these wheels redefine durability and all but make flats a thing of the past—because being stuck on the sidelines just ain’t that fast.

Optimized Layups & Stiffness

Impact energy dissipates across the rim flexing instead of cracking under pressure for added control.

FlatStop Pinch Flat Protection

A 4mm-wide beadhook minimizes pinch flats, setting a new durability standard.

Asymmetrical Rim Shape

Engineered for maximum strength and performance by balancing spoke tension.

Made in Racing

By developing with elite racers, we built a benchmark-setting wheelset—now available to every rider.

50% More Force to Flat

Perfectly Paired: Control + Air Trak & Fast Trak

Engineered for ultimate performance, Roval wheels and Specialized tires are designed together to maximize speed, strength, and puncture resistance. Pair the Roval Control World Cup with The Air Trak and Fast Trak tires and make flats an endangered species, thanks to the co-developed FlatStop rim bead, Flex Lite Casing, and strategic tread geometry.

ruined for life these are so amazing

these wheels are beyond compare. I feel I’m ruined forever, in a good way LOL. they are crazy fast. I expected them to be like a rocketship going uphill, and they do explode when hammering on a climb. they also carry speed for days, as expected. but the most pleasant surprise is riding on rolling XC singletrack, smooth or chunky. and then downhill. I’ve never felt so connected to trails. they make me feel like I’m on rails. I cannot recommend these enough. they are spendy, but sooooooo worth it.

Words cannot describe

Incredible upgrade to my Epic EVO. Rotational weight reduction that transforms any bike into a much lighter feeling ride without sacrificing any torsional strength, stiffness and stability. Although they are very expensive, if you’re looking for the ultimate set of wheels for XC/Trail, these are worth the sticker shock.
