Sayonara Pinch Flats
No rider likes being stranded on the trail with a flat, which is why the all new Traverse HD 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.
The best wheel is one you don’t have to think about and that’s why Roval created the strongest set of hard hitting, carbon wheels we’ve ever made. We designed a rim shape focused on impact targets derived from our factory enduro riders and build quality designed to win. We then tuned the front and rear layups to enhance characteristics specific to their locations on the bike. Nothing was left on the table; giving riders the durability they need, with the performance they want. See how we validate impact testing in our lab.
High-Precision Handling
Roval engineered and tested Traverse HD for three years, searching for the perfect fusion of ride quality and durability, effectively creating the strongest, high performance enduro wheel we have ever made. Where stiffness meets group, Traverse HD holds you in your line, and snaps you to the next with precision and speed. See how we tested these wheels below.
HEAR FROM OUR RIDERS
Curtis Robinson
“I’ve had a few hard direct impacts to the rim hearing a clear rim to rock ‘smash pinggggg’ and no visible damage, and NO flat. Most cases Its easy to pinch flat from those hard hits. I like the way the wheels look and the weight feels balanced. I’m already feeling multiple improvements from the previous Traverse wheels which is very exciting!”
The Technology Behind the New Roval Traverse HD Carbon Wheelset
These wheels are awesome, I’m coming from the traverse alloy 350 and the change is so big! I’m a big dude 250lbs and they are super strong, I do big jumps and after 300 miles they are still true. They are amazing! Great job specialized!

Beautiful Wheels with Major Flaws
After a few weeks of riding these wheels, I started noticing water and/or sealant coming out of the base of the valve stem every time I rode the bike. This kept getting worse until there was a consistent bubbling coming out of the base of the valve stem. Turns out the valve stems loosened up and have allowed sealant (and possible water) to get inside the wheel, not inside the tire, but trapped inside the carbon rim (there's an open space in there) and when you shake the rims, with no tires on the rims, you can hear liquid swishing around in there. I've currently got the wheels off the bike for the second time, trying to drain out whatever gunk is trapped inside the rim. Not happy with this product.
