2019 Specialized Roval Traverse 38 SL Fattie 148 650 Carbon Wheels give you the space you need to run wider tyres. Having a 2.8", or high-volume, tyre mated to a narrow rim makes for a squirmy, poor handling experience. Lucky for you, the new age of traction, stability, & speed has arrived—and its name is the Traverse 38 SL Fattie 27.5. Along with light overall weight, stiffness, & durability, another top priority for the Traverse SL was ease of use. First off, Specialized got rid of the creaky straight-pull spokes & corrosion-prone alloy nipples. Next up, they have used 28 J-bend spokes, for both the front & rear wheels, that are all the same length—making it easy to find replacements if needed. & finally, they have engineered a new hub design, with a wider profile & higher flange to aid in overall stiffness. The 38-millimeter Traverse SL is already wider than most offerings. A 38-millimeter internal rim width that turns the Traverse 38 SL Fatties into descending machines. A wide internal rim width endows riders with a variety of advantages that are exemplified even more with plus-sized tires. The extra width allows for more tyre volume, translating into more supple ride qualities, & better support for the tyre, meaning that youll experience less "burping" when riding tubeless & a drastic increase in traction. The Zero Bead Hook design effectively eliminates the biggest weak spot found in traditional rims, & high-modulus carbon fibre keeps the weight down. & to further this theme, the wheels also include the Roval tubeless plug system, which sheds an additional 50 grams-per-wheel compared to a rim strip. Each Traverse 38 SL Fattie is h&-built using alloy hubs with DT Swiss Competition Race spokes. Inside the hubs, youll find sealed cartridge bearings all-around, & a quick-engaging 54t DT Swiss star ratchet system in the rear that means that you can power over rocks & roots without delay.

2019 Specialized Roval Traverse SL Fattie 650b 148 Carbon Wheels are lightweight, wide-profile, & enduro-ready carbon wheels. The Traverse SL Fattie 27.5 puts all the flickable, nimble features you need in an all-mountain wheel into one package. Along with light overall weight, stiffness, & durability, another top priority for the Traverse SL was ease of use. First off, Specialized got rid of the creaky straight-pull spokes & corrosion-prone alloy nipples. Next up, they have used 28 J-bend spokes, for both the front & rear wheels, that are all the same length—making it easy to find replacements if needed. & finally, they have engineered a new hub design, with a wider profile & 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 & stiffness. The Zero Bead Hook technology that gets rid of the weak spot found in a traditional wheel, & 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 youll find DT Swiss 240 internals with a quick engaging 54t DT Swiss star ratchet system in the rear that means that you can power over rocks & 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.

The frame is among the lightest that weve ever made & its been constructed from our superlative FACT 10r carbon fibre. Its stiffness levels are also off the charts & compared to the sl 4 iteration of yesteryear youll experience a whole new faster & more efficient geometry. Through some advanced dedicated engineering however weve managed to keep the same fit feel & position that weve all come to love from the sl 4s womens endurance geometry. Of course youre probably thinking "get on to the suspension thing up front." we call it future shock & essentially its a piston in the head tube with 20mm of travel. We developed this technology in partnership with McLaren applied technologies & the result of this are a host of drastic performance improvements namely in the vertical compliance department. Without giving a physics lecture we found that focusing on vertical compliance instead of fork splay meant that we could improve smoothness speed & comfort in one fell swoop. & of all the bikes that weve tested with our rolling efficiency model the new Ruby outperforms anything on the market. Lastly we specd it with an awesome set of components that are h&-selected to endure harsh roads. Along these lines youll find the Expert outfitted with the likes of Shimano Ultegra Di 2 shifting & hydraulic disc brakes low profile DT r 470 disc wheels & a host of womens-specific components. Featuring our rider-first engineered design that ensures every frame size has the same legendary responsiveness & smooth ride quality that youd expect from a ruby. The FACT 10r frameset holds its own with our highest-end carbon offerings, with the ideal blend of light overall weight & targeted stiffness, while the all-new future shock "suspension" system at the cockpit delivers a revolutionary degree of comfort & control. Dt r 470 disc wheels feature reliable, sealed cartridge hubs, & 24 front & rear spokes that keeps weight low & durability high. Shimano S Ultegra Di 2 with hydraulic disc brakes not only offers exceptionally smooth & crisp shifts, but it also provides incredible stopping power & modulation. ...
