Roval Announces Sub $1500 Carbon Wheelsets and New Terra Handlebar

We loved the Roval CLX gravel wheels when they originally launched in 2019. As we traversed the gravel roads around Downieville on a set of CLX EVOs, it was clear that Roval was up to something good. Today marks the next step for Roval as they’ve managed to bring their gravel wheels down to a more affordable price point.

Three Things I learned from Cameron Falconer

During my recent visit to Downieville for the Roval Terra wheel launch, I had the opportunity to chat with custom frame builder Cameron Falconer, and appreciate up close one of his recent works. Cam was invited to not only give the new Terra CLX wheels a spin, but share his knowledge of the local terrain with two rides during our stay. Northern California has a rich history in frame building, so I was curious to learn more about his philosophy as a builder, the benefits of steel and why someone might consider going custom.

California Gravel Rush: Adventures on the All New Roval Terra Wheels

Well known for its history off-road, the gold rush town of Downieville is perhaps most recognized today for the downhill mountain bike race that bears its name. The “Classic” descends 5000ft of singletrack over 15 miles, covering just a slice of what this mountain town and the surrounding buttes have to offer. With an invitation to join the crew from Roval Components on a 3-day gravel adventure in the Lost Sierra I jumped at the opportunity to experience the more supple side of Downieville.
