This is Roval’s very first aluminum product to bear the Alpinist name. Although it uses the same 6069 aluminum rim (24 mm) as the previous SLX rim, its new shot-peening treatment increases its lifespan. In addition, with DT Swiss 350 hubs and Sapim spokes, the total weight has been reduced by 30 grams. Light, durable, and offering excellent ride quality, these are the new Roval Alpinist SLX wheels.
Hit the road with the lightest, most durable, and most agile aluminum wheel Roval has ever made: the Alpinist SLX. It’s the pinnacle of aluminum. Nothing less was needed to earn the Alpinist name.
