Though not everything has changed as the new Terra CLX II wheels use the very same hooked rim that we saw on the first model. Roval says that because the rim is hooked, the wheel can be ridden using almost any tyre and pressure. And because there's a 25mm internal width, the wheelset is optimised for 28 up to 47c tyres up to 80psi.
