{"title":"MTB Wheels","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"traverse-sl-27-5-6b-front-199352","title":"Traverse SL 27.5 6 Bolt - Front","description":"Trail wheels often fall into two categories—they’re either heavy and durable or light and flexy. And because of this, a lightweight, wide-profile, and enduro-ready carbon wheel seems like something only found in a fairytale, but lucky for you, we made it a reality. The Traverse SL Fattie 27.5 puts all the flick'able; nimble features you need in an all-mountain wheel into one package, and it has the results to prove it.  Along with light overall weight, stiffness, and durability, another top priority for the Traverse SL was ease of use. First off, we got rid of the creaky straight-pull spokes and corrosion-prone alloy nipples. Next up, we landed on 28 J-bend spokes, for both the front and rear wheels, that are all the same length—making it easy to find replacements if needed. And finally, we engineered a new hub design, with a wider profile and higher flange to aid in overall stiffness.  What's with the big-boned name, you ask? 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. But let's talk width. You've probably noticed that mountain bike rim widths have hovered between 19 and 23 millimeters for decades, and they've been long overdue for a change. In the search for a better wheel design, our engineers began testing 2.3- to 2.5-inch tires on 45-millimeter-wide fat bike rims to see what, if any, benefits could be found. It only took them a few rides to realize that the wider rims offered a variety of advantages, like adding additional tire volume, which better supports the tires in hard cornering, greatly improves traction because of the ability to run lower pressures, and noticeably increases rim stiffness. They did note that there is an occurrence of diminishing returns with increasing width, however, and after testing everything from 25 to 45mm, determined that a 30mm inner width is optimal.  After determining the width, we began designing the rim using the knowledge that we gained when developing the Control SL. With this, we started with our 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. Ok, so they’re strong, impact-resistant, and tire supporting—they must be heavy, right? Wrong. Even though “fattie” is in their name, they're far from fat.  To achieve this weight, we hand-build our rims to our own alloy hubs, using only the highest quality DT Swiss Competition Race spokes. Inside our hubs, 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. And while machines do a pretty good job of building wheels, we choose professionally trained humans because they do so with an artistic touch that makes for minimal flaws.  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.

FULL STOP: The Traverse Alloy rim geometry is optimized for strength, crafted with our most durable alloy, and laced to DT 350 hubs with stout Sapim spokes and Sapim alloy nipples. What does it all add up to? A wheelset that hits harder, holds up longer, and inspires you to go bigger and farther than any other trail wheel out there.  INCREASED DURABILITY: The engineered rim shape emphasizes the durability and strength of alloy- creating our most durable alloy wheel we have ever made.  NEW ALLOY: New 6013 alloy material finished with shot peening for impact strength and fatigue strength.  ENGINEERED OFFSET: Engineered rim offset enables balanced spoke tension for improved fatigue life to keep you rolling. While balanced spoke tension results in consistent flex when cornering.  MONSTER TRACTION: 30mm internal rim width optimizes tire shape for the best traction. And an internally engineered bead shape ensures the bead bends inward for air pressure\/tire retention under impact, so you can always finish your ride.

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: The new Traverse SL II i9 1\/1  is 21% more vertically compliant than the previous model (delivered through a 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: Our U.S. patent pending 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. This ingenious design eliminates compression nuts, air loss from rim flex, makes tire set-up easier, and reduces sealant clogs.  HIGH ENGAGEMENT: The i9 1\/1 hub optimizes control via a dual-phased-pawl drive mechanism, accomplishing 90 points of engagement and 4° engagement by way of a six-pawl driver and 45-tooth drivering. The result is immediate power transfer from the pedals to the drivetrain, propelling riders forward with minimum lag. Perfect for ratcheting through techy sections.
