Roval Traverse SL II 350 6B 29" wheelset

Comfort and performance!

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 the 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."

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. USA Only and wheels must be registered.

Enhanced Control
The terrain-hugging and bump-force absorbing control is achieved through its 21% greater vertical compliance, made possible by the shallow and wide rim shape and front/rear specific layup. Additionally, the rim shape intentionally flexes—ankling—to provide improved support, traction, and a boost in confidence and control.

Increased Durability
The carbon layups of the front and rear specific rims in the Traverse SL II have been optimized for both strength and weight, resulting in a 15% increase in front wheel strength and 25% boost in rear wheel strength compared to its predecessor. Its engineered rim offset ensures balanced spoke tension, leading to enhanced fatigue life and durability.

Engineered Performance
Spend your time on the trail instead of next to it. The optimized “Flat Top” bead profile of Traverse SL II significantly reduces pinch flats by requiring an impressive 85% more force compared to a standard round bead; United States patent pending. Plus, ride in peace, thanks to Roval’s Lifetime warranty on Roval Wheels when registered within the first 90 days of purchase.
