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.
