SMOOTHER IS FASTER: Trail riders who prize nimble handling will be blown away by Traverse SL II’s category-leading control, strength-to-weight ratio, and pinch-flat resistance. LIGHTER: At 1,645 grams, this is our lightest trail wheelset ever. STRONGER: Front and Rear Specific Rims with carbon layups optimized for strength and weight boast 15% greater front wheel strength and 25% more rear wheel strength than the previous Traverse SL. VERTICAL COMPLIANCE: 21% more vertically compliant than the previous Traverse SL (delivered through Shallow Rim Shape and front/rear specific layup) which enables enhanced terrain hugging and bump-force absorbing control. TRACTION MONSTER: Carefully engineered rim shape intentionally flexes for improved support and traction to boost confidence and control. TOUGH LIFE, LONG LIFE: Engineered rim offset enables balanced spoke tension for improved fatigue life. SAYONARA PINCH FLATS: Optimized "Flat Top" bead profile requires 85% more force to pinch flat compared to a standard round bead, virtually eliminating "snake bites". United States patent pending. AIR TIME: Thank our genius engineer Chuck Teixeira for inventing the “Roval ThreadBed Valve”- a valve that threads directly into the rim eliminating compression nuts, air loss from rim flex, and makes tire set-up easier, and reduces sealant clogs.
