2019 Specialized Roval Traverse SL Fattie 650b 148 Carbon Wheels Black

2019 Specialized Roval Traverse SL Fattie 650b 148 Carbon Wheels are lightweight, wide-profile, and enduro-ready carbon wheels. The Traverse SL Fattie 27.5 puts all the flick’able, nimble features you need in an all-mountain wheel into one package. Along with light overall weight, stiffness, and durability, another top priority for the Traverse SL was ease of use. First off, Specialized got rid of the creaky straight-pull spokes and corrosion-prone alloy nipples. Next up, they have used 28 J-bend spokes, for both the front and rear wheels, that are all the same lengthโ€”making it easy to find replacements if needed. And finally, they have engineered a new hub design, with a wider profile and higher flange to aid in overall stiffness. The Traverse SL Fatties may be wide, but with a 30mm inner rim width, they’re far from the girth of a fat bike rim. Specialized tested everything from 25 to 45mm rims before landing on the 30mm as the perfect mix of additional tyre volume, cornering, traction and stiffness. The Zero Bead Hook technology that gets rid of the weak spot found in a traditional wheel, and combined it with the wider profile to make a carbon rim that effectively dissipates forces. This way, you can take abuse from rocks without the worry of cracks or dents. Specialized have built their own alloy hubs, using only the highest quality DT Swiss Competition Race spokes. Inside you’ll find DT Swiss 240 internals with a quick engaging 54t DT Swiss star ratchet system in the rear that allows you to power over rocks and roots without delay. Whether you need a carbon wheelset to get you through an enduro stage or one to shred your local rock garden, the Traverse SL Fattie has you covered.
