Discover the latest technology from Roval—a brand specializing in the manufacture of high-quality wheels—atEscapa. TheRoval Traverse Fattie 29 148 Wheels weredeveloped by Specialized in response to the need for an all-aluminum MTB wheel capable of riding many miles downhill in a stable and controlled manner, while also rolling easily uphill. The result was a 30 mm-wide wheel featuring J-shaped spokes, Zero Bead technology, and CNC-machined aluminum hubs.
A wider rim allows you to ride with lower tire pressure, which spreads the risk of a puncture or similar damage over a larger surface area. Lower pressure, in turn, helps the tires achieve better grip during sharp turns. Another advantage of a wide rim is the greater support the tires receive compared to a narrower rim. Thanks to the J-bend spokes, it’s easier to repair a broken spoke due to the greater span of this type of spoke. Zero Bead technology reduces the risk of slippage during sharp turns, while also making the conversion to Tubeless a simpler process. To give the hub greater stiffness, it features a wider 148 mm profile, known as the Boost design. The wider the spoke bed, the wider the spoke pattern, and the stronger the wheel. Therefore, Boost wheels are stronger and more stable than wheels with traditional widths.
