The Rapide CL II wheels have much in common with the Rapide CLX II, but at a more affordable price. For a start, the same tubeless rims. Thanks to an algorithm used in modelling that calculates real-world reaction times, we developed a front rim that reduces air resistance while increasing stability in sudden gusts of crosswind. The rear wheel is the last to be affected by the wind and was therefore designed to reduce turbulence. Since the rear wheel does not affect steering, the depth of the rear wheel does not impact handling.
