Roval Traverse 29 Carbon SRAM XD 148mm Wheelset

Brand:Roval

Code:30118-8109

Specialized used the gnarly trails nearby as testing ground for the fast and tough Traverse 29 Carbon wheels. The steep climbs and descents inspired some radical designs and left engineers with no doubt that these wheels will exceed your expectations.

These expectations include everything from the ability to stay true after launching off drops to being light enough to efficiently pedal to the top of a climb and they all start with the rim. Specialized's engineers knew they wanted carbon fibre, and with the inclusion of a Zero Bead Hook design, they were able to implement a continuous fibre layup across the sidewall and rim bed. When paired with a whopping 30-millimetre internal rim width, they made a wheel that's super resilient to impact with low rolling resistance and incredible traction. You'll also find that it helps prevent "burping" during hard cornering, while also making tubeless set up quick and easy.

As well as light overall weight, stiffness, and durability, another top priority for the Traverse was ease of use. First off, the creaky straight-pull spokes and corrosion-prone alloy nipples were discarded. Next up, Specialized landed on 28 J-bend spokes, for front and rear wheels, that are all the same length, making it easy to find replacements if needed. Finally, a new hub design was engineered with a wider profile and higher flange to aid in overall stiffness.

A wider rim does a variety of things for ride performance - it better supports the tyre for increased confidence and grip, and it affords you the ability to run lower pressures that help spread impact out over a larger surface area to reduce the risk of damage. When you combine this girth with the notoriously fast rolling 29 platform, you’re left with an incredibly stiff, quick to accelerate wheelset that climbs just as well as it shreds descents.

After designing the perfect trail rim, Specialized kept their lightweight and durable design properties in mind with the wheel build, hand-lacing the rims with DT Swiss 350 Classic hubs via 28 DT Swiss Competition Race spokes and brass Pro Lock nipples. Inside, you'll find sealed cartridge bearings and a 36t quick engagement ratchet system for quick accelerations. Specialized also wanted to ensure that each wheel was built correctly, and found that this could only be achieved by hand. Machines, they found, have a tendency to miss little mistakes that humans catch.

Each wheelset comes packaged with a SRAM XD driver, 11-speed freehub, and a tubeless valve stem in order to make tubeless set up a touch easier. *Please note that Shimano freehubs are sold separately.
