Roval SLX 24 Disc wheels

Roval SLX 24 Disc wheels, recent developments have made carbon fiber wheels nearly as durable as alloy wheels but are generally much more expensive. If strength and affordable price are the two main characteristics there is nothing better than alloy wheels. Roval tried to create a pair of wheels that had all the qualities of carbon fiber wheels, such as lightness, rigidity and aesthetics with the strength and durability suitable for high mileage. Thus was born the pair of wheels SLX 24 Disc. The wide profile of the SLX 24 Disc is what makes them different from other wheels in the same weight range. The other wheels are generally much narrower internally, while with the SLX 24 you can also fit cyclocross tires without problems. This results in a reduced rolling resistance thanks to the possibility of adopting lower pressures and larger sections. Wide rims and tires are a perhaps strange concept but together they can greatly improve the driving quality and performance. With the larger air volume, lower pressure is needed to achieve the same pinch resistance. As for performance, lower pressures lead to lower rolling resistance, because the wheel absorbs road imperfections instead of bouncing over them. When the pressure is very high, these leaps waste valuable watts - instead at lower pressures these imperfections are absorbed and the expressed power is transformed into forward movement. It also improves grip and therefore traction and safety when the road has many curves. Although Roval had an affordable price in mind, they made sure not to compromise on quality. Quality aluminum 24mm deep rims are light and durable. The wheels are hand assembled with the same aero disc (AFD) hubs you find on carbon fiber wheels, with DT Swiss competition Rays. The end result is a pair of wheels weighing only 1515 grams. Hand assembly is an increasingly rare activity, but essential to build the best wheels. If you need a pair of no-frills but quality wheels for your races or workouts, the SLX24 Disc is the right choice.
