SMOOTHER IS FASTER: Trail riders who prize nimble handling will be blown away by…
No rider likes being stranded on the trail with a flat, which is why the all new Traverse SL II wheels use our USA patent pending “5mm Flat Top” bead design. This optimized profile requires 85% more force to pinch flat compared to a standard round bead, virtually eliminating snake bites. See how we validated pinch flat performance in the Roval Lab.
Front and rear wheels are different and should therefore be designed differently. That is why Roval engineered 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. The result? A wheel set that enables riders to go faster and hit harder than before. See how we validate impact testing in our lab.
A smoother line is a faster line on the trail, which is why the Roval engineers designed the Traverse SL II to optimize Torsional and Lateral stiffness in the rim and wheel builds, resulting in a 21% more laterally compliant wheel than the previous Traverse SL. The shallow rim shape and front/rear specific layups enhance ride quality for unmatched, terrain hugging control and comfort. See how we tested these wheels below.
“These wheels are as tough as they are light. I don't run inserts, weigh 190lbs, and typically run 23-25PSI in my tires and these wheels don't seem to care. Pinch flats; see ya never! Wheels are something you'd rather not think about while on a ride, and the SL II constantly reminds you to forget all about them.”
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 1,751 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.
LIFETIME WARRANTY: On Roval Wheels when registered within the first 90 days of purchase.
CRASH REPLACEMENT: 2 Year “It Happens” No Fault Crash Replacement - If you damage your Roval product while riding within the first two years of ownership and it’s not covered under warranty, we’ll still replace or repair. “It Happens” is markets specific, and wheels must be registered.
