They Punch Above Their Weight Class

The biggest time killer for World Cup racers? Technical failures, especially flats. That’s why the 998g Roval Control World Cup doesn’t just deliver speed—it’s built for unmatched durability and flat prevention on today’s brutal tracks. In 2024, the Specialized Factory Racing Team completed every race without breaking a rim. Engineered with optimized stiffness, advanced layups, and FlatStop pinch flat protection, these wheels redefine durability and all but make flats a thing of the past—because being stuck on the sidelines just ain’t that fast.

Impact energy dissipates across the rim flexing instead of cracking under pressure for added control.
