Control Carbon
Working-class hero with World Cup lineage
what it’s for, why it’s great
A high-performance wheel that excels everywhere and smashes the price barrier for carbon wheels, the Control Carbon combines the strength and stiffness found in our world-beating Control SL rim with rugged DT Swiss hubs and dependable J-bend spokes. This level of quality, precision and performance has previously been found only on wheels costing twice as much.

Thoroughbred genetics meet workhorse dependability
Benefitting from the development process that led to our flagship Control SL, the Control Carbon features the same zero-bead-hook design and 25mm-inner width. By choosing a unique combination of composite materials and engineering a layup schedule with continuous fiber across the sidewall, we maximize strength, ride quality, and durability while keeping weight to a minimum.
Minimum weight, maximum durability, easy serviceability
Striking a no-hassle balance between low weight and low maintenance, we chose DT Swiss 350 Classic hubs (15x110mm thru-axle front, 12x148mm thru-axle rear) as the basis for the Control Carbon wheels. With sealed bearings, a notoriously durable 36-tooth ratchet, and 28 spokes front and rear, dependability is assured.
Quality throughout, from hub to spoke to nipple to rim
There is absolutely no point in laying up an awesome rim and pairing it with a quality hub, only to skimp on spokes and nipples. So, keeping strength and dependability foremost in our minds, we opted to hold the Control Carbon wheel together with the best: DT Swiss Competition Race spokes and alloy Pro Lock nipples.

Composite shop
Working in our Northern California composite lab, our engineers cut molds and prototype multiple versions of the Control Carbon rim, extensively testing each version in both the field and lab. The data collected from testing informs subsequent composite layup schedules, until the optimal layup schedule is achieved.
Handbuilt
There's no substitute for the hands-on experience and meticulous attention to detail that a human being brings to the craft of wheel building. While many wheels on the market are built by machines, Roval wheels are always built by people: from lacing the hubs, to equalizing spoke tension, to truing the wheel to lateral and radial perfection.
