2026 Specialized Roval Alpinist CLX II

Feel your bike come alive on the open road. The Alpinist CLX II — the lightest, best-handling clincher wheels Specialized has ever made. Hyper-responsive acceleration, magic in the corners, sublime over rough roads, all elevated with the performance of a tubeless system. No room for a single excess gram — perfection is only achieved when there is nothing left to take away.
