Long before carbon, aluminum was the king of the cross country circuit. And along these lines, the Roval Control 29 mountain bike wheels feature a lightweight, stiff, and durable E5 alloy rim that spin up fast, while also using a Zero Bead Hook design to improve impact resistance. At the rear hub, you'll get DT Swiss hub internals for noticeably responsive engagement, plus the wheels have been built by hand to ensure an attention to detail that only hand-built wheels can provide.
