Roval Traverse SL II i9 1/1 6B

Smoother is faster: trail riders who prize nimble handling will appreciate the control, strength-to-weight ratio and pinch-flat resistance of the Traverse SL II i9 1/1. Front- and rear-specific rims with carbon layups optimised for strength and weight boast 15% greater front wheel strength and 25% more rear wheel strength than the previous Traverse SL, and the wheels are 21% more vertically compliant for better terrain-hugging control.

• Flat Top bead profile: requires 85% more force to pinch flat compared to a standard round bead.
• Roval ThreadBed Valve: threads directly into the rim, eliminating compression nuts and air loss from rim flex, and making tyre set-up easier.
• High engagement: the Industry Nine 1/1 hub uses a six-pawl driver and 45-tooth drivering for 90 points of engagement (4°).
• Balanced tension: engineered rim offset balances spoke tension for improved fatigue life.

29" rear wheel with SRAM XD freehub, sold individually.
