Designed for aero efficiency, lightweight handling, and flat-resistance, this high-performance carbon road wheelset delivers unmatched speed for road racing, competitive cycling, and elite-level training.

Inspired by the Tour-proven CLX III design, the Rapide CL III brings aerodynamic innovation and elite-level engineering to a more accessible platform. Featuring a deeper front rim (51mm) for reduced drag and a lighter rear rim (48mm) for improved responsiveness, this asymmetric depth design optimises both performance and handling on any course.


Best-in-Class Aerodynamics

The aero-optimised carbon rim profile features a deeper 51mm front and shallower 48mm rear, reducing wind resistance where it matters most and improving handling in crosswinds.

At just 1,555g, the Rapide CL III offers rapid acceleration and efficient climbing, giving you an edge during breakaways, sprints, and climbs.

FlatStop Bead Hooks for Superior Puncture Resistance

Built with FlatStop technology, these bead hooks require 39% more force to cause a flat, offering enhanced flat protection for longer, uninterrupted race performance.

DT Swiss 350 EXP Hubs with 36T Ratchet Engagement

Industry-leading DT Swiss 350 EXP hubs provide quick, reliable power transfer with 36-tooth ratchet engagement for smooth acceleration and consistent speed.

Tubeless-Ready Carbon Rims

Compatible with 28mm road tyres, the tubeless-ready design allows for lower tyre pressures, better grip, and fewer flats, perfect for racing or high-performance training.

Optimised Spoke Count for Strength and Stability

Configured with 18 spokes front / 24 spokes rear, the wheelset balances aerodynamics and stiffness, ideal for power transfer and reliable ride quality on all terrains.
