    Roval Rapide C 38

    We deliver! Just say when and how.

    Performance Upgrade Made Easy

    The C38 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. Optimized for use with modern wide tires, providing the right amount of sidewall support to facilitate surefooted handling in all conditions, the C38 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.

    Carbon wheels are a true performance upgrade to any bike, but too often the price tag puts them out of reach. The Rapide C38 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.

    My Roval Rapide C38

    Never had carbon wheels before. But I got a new Cervelo Caledonia frame that I was going to build up and decided on these; reasonable enough price point, and they had good reviews. I love them. Will never settle for less again. Very good climbers and I feel as if there is always a tailwind component on the level. I liked them so much that I bought another pair for my older Cannondale Synapse Carbon and they significantly lightened and energized that bike as well.

    OK wheels

    These wheels came with my Tarmac SL6, and are nice, but once I put a set of Enve wheels on it, I never wanted to use them again. Good looking, and great hubs.

    Nice wheelset

    Bought these with my new Allez Sprint frameset to replace my old Allez Race frame with my Stans No Tubes superlight alloy wheelset. The new frame and wheels are waaaay smoother uphill, downhill, and on the flat. This combo is so comfortable to ride that it could be used as an endurance bike. There is only one place that my old bike is better, and that is uphill. The new setup has gained 1kg, and i can feel the difference up the hills, the old bike felt really responsive when climbing. Would have liked to have tried the Alpinist alloy wheels to see if the new bike could have replicated this feeling. Maybe not a bad thing to give up some weight for the resulting all round smoothness and ability to ride the bike longer and further?
