The Specialized Rapide CL II wheelset redefines performance on the open road, harnessing the speed, efficiency, and supreme handling of the celebrated Rapide CLX II range. Our unique tubeless-done-right technology is coupled with state-of-the-art rim design for unparalleled road performance that will leave competitors in your wake.

In crafting the Rapide CL II, we confronted the age-old challenge of crosswinds affecting deep-section front rims, which impact handling and speed. Our game-changing solution is a front rim designed with real-world rider reaction times and on-road testing in mind. The result is a significant 25% increase in stability during sudden wind gusts compared to our previous 50mm rims, while simultaneously reducing drag.

Every detail is meticulously engineered for peak performance on the rear wheel that is the last thing the wind encounters. With a depth of 60mm and external width of 30mm, the Rapide CL II rear rim limits turbulence, maximizing aerodynamic efficiency. The deeper section does not influence steering, ensuring exceptional handling remains consistent.

Hands-on craftsmanship in the assembly process extends from initial lay-up to final tensioning on the nipples. Assembled with the highly reputable DT Swiss 350 hubs, 36t Star Ractch, and Competition Race straight pull spokes, this model results in a finely-honed wheel system weighing a mere 1590 grams. We deliver a perfect balance of reliability, durability, and performance.

Embrace the undeniable advantages of a tubeless set-up with the Rapide CL II. Not only does it offer reduced rolling resistance, enhanced handling, and superior puncture protection, it also excels in terms of rigorous engineering standards and weight minimisation. The use of a hooked rim allows for secure tire bead retention and uncomplicated set-up for pressure up to 110psi.

This winning wheelset encapsulates the Specialized commitment to delivering high quality and impressive functionality. Choose the Rapide CL II wheelset for a game-changing cycling experience. Note: wheels sold individually (front or rear).

Summit Cycles work will all major providers of the government backed Cycle to Work scheme. If you would like to buy a bike from us using the scheme your employer offers you will need to contact us to discuss the arrangements and eligibility of your purchase. Cycle to Work schemes are a great way to buy a bike and can offer a big saving on the price of your purchase but the ways that each individual scheme operate can vary so it is worth taking some time to find out exactly how your scheme works.

At Summit Cycles we aim to make our part of the process of buying by a Cycle to Work scheme as easy and as simple as possible. We can help you find the right bike and any accessories or extras you will need to make sure you are 100% ready to enjoy your purchased.

The best starting point is to speak with your human resources manager or the person responsible for administering the scheme your employer offers to find out who the provider is and the terms and conditions of the scheme they offer. You can often begin the application process by registering directly with the provider, often via their website. Many providers will ask us to provide a quote for the purchase so this is when you will need to speak to us to check eligibility and of course availability of your chosen bike but our staff can help you make the best choice, guiding you to the right bike and accessories and then raising the information you will need.

Processing can take a little time but often we can secure the bike you want with the payment of a deposit, refundable when the scheme provider issues confirmation certificate or payment.
