Specialized 2019 Specialized Roval Traverse 27.5 148 Carbon MTB Wheels
Description
The 2019 Specialized Roval Traverse 27.5 148 Carbon MTB Wheels are designed to be fast and tough. They can take a big drop and get you to the top of the next climb with ease. With the inclusion of Specialized’s Zero Bead Hook design, they were able to implement a continuous fibre layup across the sidewall and rim bed. And when paired with a whopping 30-millimeter internal rim width, this wheel is super resilient to impact with low rolling resistance and incredible traction. You'll also find that it helps prevent "burping" during hard cornering, while also making tubeless set up quick and easy. 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 length—making it easy to find replacements if needed. And finally, they have engineered a A wider rim does a variety of things for ride performance—it better supports the tire for increased confidence and grip, and it affords you the ability to run lower pressures that help spread impact out over a larger surface area to reduce the risk of damage. And when you combine this girth with the notoriously nimble and playful 27.5 platform, you’re left with an incredibly stiff, quick-to-accelerate wheelset that climbs just as well as it shreds descents. After designing the perfect trail rim, Specialized kept their lightweight and durable design properties in mind with the wheel build, hand-lacing the rims with DT Swiss 350 Classic hubs via 28 DT Swiss Competition Race spokes and brass Pro Lock nipples. Inside, you'll find sealed cartridge bearings and a 36t quick engagement ratchet system for quick accelerations. Each wheelset comes packaged with a SRAM XD driver, 11-speed freehub, and a tubeless valve stem in order to make tubeless set up a touch easier. *Please note that Shimano freehubs are sold separately.
