Find your ideal mountain bike wheel at Escapa from a wide selection of top brands like Specialized.
The Roval Traverse SL II 350 29 6B 28H Front Wheel is a leader in its category, offering the Traverse SL II’s outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and puncture resistance.
SMOOTHER IS FASTER
Trail riders who value agile handling will be impressed by the Traverse SL II’s class-leading control, strength-to-weight ratio, and puncture resistance.
LIGHTER
Weighing in at 1,751 grams, this is our lightest Sendero wheelset to date.
STRONGER
Front and rear-specific rims with carbon layups optimized for strength and weight offer 15% more strength in the front wheels and 25% more in the rear wheels compared to the previous Traverse SL.
VERTICAL COMPLIANCE
21% more vertical compliance than the previous Traverse SL (achieved through the shallow rim profile and front/rear-specific design), allowing for better terrain adaptation and control over shock absorption from bumps.
TRACTION MONSTER
The carefully designed tire profile flexes intentionally to improve support and traction, boosting confidence and control.
TOUGH, LONG-LASTING
The rim’s engineered offset allows for balanced spoke tension, resulting in an extended service life.
SAYONARA PUNCTURES
The optimized “Flat Top” Talon bead profile requires 85% more force to pinch than a standard round bead, virtually eliminating “snake bites.”
AIR TIME
Thank our ingenious engineer Chuck Teixeira for inventing the “Roval ThreadBed Valve,” a valve that screws directly into the rim, eliminating compression nuts, air loss due to rim flex, and making tire setup easier while reducing sealant clogs.
