THIS WHEELSET IS COVERED BY A LIFETIME WARRANTY Why We Make This We understand what makes wheels fast. The keys are fast bearings, power transfer, and a rim that absorbs road chatter and holds its line. When we began working with FusionFiber®, the revolutionary thermoplastic carbon fiber in our rims, its ability to eat road noise and stay planted suggested it could be part of a super high-performance wheel build. We make the ARD44 because we think it's the best a road wheel can be, and that's the idea, the kind of product, that makes us want to ride further, longer and faster. Why You Want It The ARD44 is designed for serious cyclists who want all-out speed on flats, climbs and through corners. It's an aero wheel that shines across a wide range of terrain, from smooth pavement to rough gravel roads. Built to surpass even the most rigorous industry standards, the ARD44 Wheelset is built around King's industry-leading R45D hub and an aero-profiled, 44mm deep FusionFiber® rim. The combination delivers unparalleled power transfer, speed, and stability. King's R45D hub serves as the perfect core for this wheelset, with their superior, house-made bearings, perfectly matched races, and single-piece axles. The R45D's flanges are optimized for lateral stiffness and durability. The final piece is Chris King's unparalleled RingDrive™ system, which maximizes engagement throughout the pedal stroke by providing 45 points of simultaneous engagement. King's reputation throughout the industry is built on bearings that wear in, not out coupled to RingDrive's™ high engagement super-efficient core. The ARD44's rim produces a stable, responsive, and nimble ride while reducing bodily fatigue and strain on the rider, due to the superior damping attributes of FusionFiber's® thermoplastic technology. It effectively minimizes unnecessary road feedback and vibrations, resulting in better traction and a smooth, comfortable ride that will keep riders fresher, and longer, and make the next day's ride easier too. - Aerodynamically tailored for 28mm-30mm tire - 25mm internal width and 30.5mm external width accommodate a broad range of tire sizes generally up to 47mm. - Hookless, tubeless rim design simplifies installation and maintenance while optimizing the interface between the tire and rim bed. - Lifetime warranty - Hubs Made in our Portland, OR factory - Rims Made in Utah - Hubs available in all current Chris King colors WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY "LIFETIME WARRANTY"? Lifetime warranty. You hear about it, but it can mean a lot of different things, especially when you get into the fine print. So, this is how it works with our new Chris King Fusion Fiber rims. The main thing to remember is that it doesn't matter if you buy your set from your local dealer or directly from us at chrisking.com. Either way, we've got you covered. 1. Shop online while you're bored at work to find the perfect set of carbon wheels. 2. Decide that the new Chris King wheels (with a Lifetime Warranty) are the way to go! 3. Pick them up from your local Chris King Dealer or order them on chrisking.com 4. Get the wheels, ride wheels, love wheels. 5. In the unlikely event they get damaged because you're just too gnarly, contact your local Chris King Dealer or email info at chrisking.com. We'll send an RA # and shipping label to send us back the wheel. 6. Once we receive it, we will rebuild your wheel with a brand-new, box fresh rim and give your hub a proper once over to make sure it is in tip-top shape (free of charge, of course). 7. We ship your wheel back to you so you can get back to having fun on your bike and ship the broken rim off to be recycled. There it is in black and white: free shipping both ways, a hub tune-up, and prioritized rebuild scheduling. We know it's a big investment and we want to keep you on your bike and stoked on your purchase, for life.

The Radiant is a lightweight, aerodynamic alloy road wheelset good for any occasion. Rolf Prima pioneered the aerodynamic alloy wheel market 20 years ago with the Vigor – a now classic best-selling rim profile that is noticeably faster than its low-profile competition. The Radiant applies that same engineering and testing, now in traditional lacing. Just like that predecessor, this 32mm profile sheds wind to save you watts all day, while maintaining a low weight for climbing efficiency.

From the purist gravel racer to the mixed-surface fanatic, Terra CLX II provides a level of weight savings and material confidence that’s unheard of in the all-road or gravel space. This tier of weight-savings translates to rocket-like acceleration off the starting line, nimble performance in the hills, and unleashed efficiency on those loaded-down long-haul excursions. Weighing in at just 1250 grams, the Roval Terra CLX II are the lightest wheels in their class, rivaling pure climbing wheels in terms of weight and out-performing in raw toughness. We were able to get even lighter than before (50 grams lighter) by utilizing Low Flange Disc (LFD) hubs, borrowed from the Alpinist CLX II wheels. What’s being carried forward from the previous generation, is the rim. With its multiple Unbound victories, we we kept what was already class leading, and extended our lead. Because Terra CLX II is a hooked rim, you’re able to ride almost any tire and pressure. Thanks to the 25mm internal width, they work seamlessly with 28-47c tires (up to 80 PSI), giving you options to customize your setup for what’s ahead. Using Roval LFD hubs, still spinning on DT Swiss 180 hub internals, Terra CLX II continues to provide flawless ride quality. The CINC ceramic bearings inside do some serious heavy lifting when it comes to the efficiency of these wheels. Even with laundry list of demands that need to be met for the serious gravel racer, to the all-road explorer—the Roval Terra CLX II checks every box with authority. - Rim: Terra CLX Carbon Clincher, 700c, Disc Brake, Tubeless Compatible - Rim Details: 32mm Depth, 30mm External Width, 25mm Internal Width - ERD 577mm - Hub: Roval Light Hub (LF13/LF14R) Center Lock, DT Swiss 180 Ratchet EXP 36t internals (10 degs), 100x12mm & 142x12mm, Shim.
