Specialized Roval Traverse SL 350

The Traverse SL II wheelset, designed for trail riders seeking nimble handling and exceptional performance. This category-leading wheelset offers unparalleled control, an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, and outstanding pinch-flat resistance. Weighing in at just 1,751 grams, it stands as the lightest trail wheelset available.

The Traverse SL II features front and rear specific rims crafted with carbon layups that prioritize both strength and weight. This design delivers a remarkable 15% greater strength in the front wheel and 25% more in the rear compared to its predecessor. With 21% more vertical compliance than the previous model, the shallow rim shape and specific layups enhance terrain hugging and absorb bumps more effectively.

Engineered for maximum traction, the rim shape is intentionally designed to flex, providing improved support and confidence on varied terrain. The unique rim offset also promotes balanced spoke tension, significantly increasing fatigue life for long-lasting durability. Say goodbye to pinch flats with the optimized "Flat Top" bead profile, which requires 85% more force to pinch flat compared to standard round beads, virtually eliminating "snake bites."

The innovation extends to the Roval ThreadBed Valve, developed by engineer Chuck Teixeira, which threads directly into the rim. This design eliminates compression nuts, prevents air loss from rim flex, simplifies tire setup, and reduces sealant clogs. Elevate your trail riding experience with the Traverse SL II, where performance meets durability and innovation.
