In April Roval released an updated Roval Control Carbon wheel set. With an all-new rim, the Roval Control Carbon 6B XD wheels offer lower weight, greater strength and an improved ride compared to the previous model. The›Control Carbon wheels use the same Roval Control SL rim from the top spec 1240g Control SL wheels, however the Control Carbon wheels eschew the DT Swiss 180 hubs and Aerolite spokes, instead using DT Swiss 350 straight pull hubs and Competition Race spokes with Prolock nipples. The Roval Control SL rim has a claimed weight of 358g, which is super light. The rim is asymmetric, to help with even spoke tension, and it is also slightly lower profile than the previous Carbon Control rim. The rims have a 29mm internal width to provide good support for modern cross-country and trail tyres. With a price of $2000 for the wheel set, you end up with the same rim and therefore rim and tyre interface
