  • Roval Control Carbon Wheels: Features the race-proven Roval Control Carbon rims with a 29mm internal width, paired with DT Swiss 370 hubs for lightweight stiffness.
  • Powerful Braking: Full Shimano XT 8200 hydraulic disc brakes with dual 180mm rotors provide consistent, race-winning stopping power.
