The new Roval Terra Aero CL brings the most aerodynamic profiles to gravel racing

Along with the new Crux 5, Specialized has introduced three new Roval wheels within its Terra family: the Terra Aero CL, Terra CL III, and Terra C III. The update maintains the gravel focus of the range but introduces new options with profiles of up to 50mm designed to combine speed, control, and durability in a scenario where gravel races are becoming faster and more demanding.

Roval expands its Terra range with the new Aero CL, CL III, and C III for fast and durable gravel

The proposal is divided into two clear lines. On one hand, the Terra Aero CL, a wheel aimed at competition days with profiles of 50 and 45mm for those seeking aerodynamic improvement without sacrificing stability. On the other hand, the Terra CL III and Terra C III, two models with a lower profile that prioritize lightness, durability, and predictable behavior on mixed terrain.

Terra Aero CL, high profile for competing in gravel

The Terra Aero CL is the option most focused on aerodynamic performance within this launch. It uses a mullet rim with a differentiated profile between both axles, with 50 mm in the front and 45 mm in the back. According to Roval, this provides speed without compromising stability.

The rim has 38.5 mm of external width and 27 mm of internal width, and is compatible with tires ranging from 35 to 60 mm. The declared weight of the set is 1,608 grams.

One of its most important technical points is the 5.38 mm rim hook, designed to offer greater protection against punctures and impacts. Roval positions this model as a wheel intended for gravel cyclists seeking more speed and a wheel ready for competition.

• Rim depth: 50 mm front / 45 mm rear
• External width: 38.5 mm
• Internal width: 27 mm
• Compatible tires: 35 to 60 mm
• Rim hook: 5.38 mm

Terra CL III, lightweight carbon with a versatile focus

The Terra CL III occupies the lightest space in this new family of wheels. Roval declares a weight of 1,263 grams, with a rim depth of 25.5 mm both front and rear.

In terms of construction, the brand indicates that these wheels use the same advanced carbon techniques employed in the Terra CLX III. The rim maintains 38 mm of external width and 27 mm internal, a measurement that Roval considers ideal for 45 mm tires.

It also incorporates FlatStop protection, with a rim hook of 4.9 mm. The goal is to improve puncture mitigation and allow greater flexibility when adjusting tire pressure according to the terrain.
