Not Tubeless

Seems like a great wheel at first glance, but it says "Clincher/tube type", so I think they've missed out by not making these tubeless compatible.

The KOMs are calling

This is an incredibly light wheelset. Out of the box, mine weighed 1260g after removing the packaging. Once all of the components were added to get it on the bike and ride, we had a final weight of 2.43kg (5lb 6oz), They are insanely light! Specialized provides a nice wheel bag for each wheel and some extra spokes. The overall look of these wheels is super slick. I love that the logo is more subtle. The DT swiss internals sound super clean and engagement seems to be pretty quick. Although the wheelset is not tubeless compatible, the rim is still taped so the spoke holes are covered. Overall the wheelset looks super slick and very clean Not to worry either, these wheels have it where it counts. On the climbs they are stiff and have a very nice power transfer. Obviously their weight makes them one of the most ideal wheelsets on the market for climbing. The DT hubs lend themselves to a good level of engagement for road wheels. You can also expect them to be compliant enough to create a smooth and comfortable ride. They have crisp handling that will allow you to make sharp turns on your descents and you won't be buffeted around by crosswinds. Overall this wheelset is the pinnacle of what a climbing wheelset should be. Combine that with a solid design, and a fantastic warranty from Roval and to be honest, there's not a KOM around that you won't be able to conquer.
