The Rapide CLX 40 full-carbon clincher is the perfect all-around race wheelset. The aerodynamic optimized rim shape slices through the wind, while preserving the confident, stable handling of a box section rim.
If you ride in a pack at high speed or stick your nose into a stiff headwind for any length of time, you’ll appreciate wheels engineered for aerodynamic efficiency. Extensive testing—in the wind tunnel and on the road—has Helped Specialized build wheels for real world performance.
