Specialized Alpinist SLX Disc 700c Front Wheel

Experience unmatched performance with the lightest, most durable, and best-handling alloy wheel Roval has crafted to date – the Alpinist SLX. This wheel represents the ultimate in alloy technology, earning the prestigious Alpinist name for its exceptional quality and design.

Every gram matters when you're targeting summits or prioritizing ride quality. The Alpinist SLX wheels deliver the perfect balance of stiffness and responsive handling, ideal for powerful climbing efforts. Their innovative shot peen treatment significantly enhances fatigue resistance, while the integration of proven DT Swiss 350 hubs and Sapim spokes reduces overall weight by 30 grams, optimizing performance without compromise.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND RIDE QUALITY COMBINED: As the first alloy wheel to carry the Alpinist name, the Roval Alpinist SLX wheelset weighs only 1,485 grams*, leveraging premium-grade alloy and precision engineering. This confirms what riders have long experienced: lighter wheels translate into a more enjoyable and efficient ride.

*1,485 grams is the production sample weight; final weights may vary slightly.

TUBELESS COMPATIBILITY FOR ENHANCED RIDING: The shallow rim depth combined with tubeless compatibility offers superior ride comfort, greater efficiency, and excellent flat protection. This design choice ensures you can maintain speed and agility while benefiting from the advantages of tubeless tires on every ride.

RELIABLE AND DURABLE PERFORMANCE: Designed for confident handling during intense efforts, the Alpinist SLX wheels feature a shot peen treatment that extends fatigue life and the trusted DT Swiss 350 hubs paired with Sapim spokes, ensuring long-lasting durability and consistent performance across all conditions.
