Roval Traverse HD i9 1/1 29er Front Mountain Bike Wheel – 28H
Built for riders who demand maximum strength, precision handling, and confidence in the most aggressive terrain, the Roval Traverse HD i9 1/1 29er Front Mountain Bike Wheel is the strongest carbon trail and enduro wheel Roval has ever produced. Designed to dominate bike park laps, technical trail riding, and World Cup–level downhill tracks, this wheel delivers unmatched durability without sacrificing control or speed.
At the core of the Traverse HD is Roval’s strongest asymmetric carbon rim profile, engineered with front-specific carbon layup to enhance compliance, grip, and steering accuracy. The result is a smoother, more controlled ride that tracks precisely through rock gardens, high-speed berms, and off-camber terrain. Offset spoke drilling and optimised carbon fibre construction dramatically increase impact resistance and long-term durability.
To virtually eliminate pinch flats, the Traverse HD features Roval’s patent-pending Flat Top bead design, which requires up to 85% more force to pinch flat compared to traditional round bead rims. This makes it ideal for aggressive riding, lower tyre pressures, and tyre insert compatibility.
The wheel is laced to the Industry Nine 1/1 hub, delivering lightning-fast engagement with 90 points of engagement and just 4° of pickup. The six-pawl, dual-phased mechanism ensures instant power transfer and exceptional control when ratcheting through technical climbs and steep descents.
Additional innovations like the Roval ThreadBed Valve System improve tubeless setup reliability, reduce air loss caused by rim flex, and minimise sealant clogging. Fully tubeless-ready, disc-brake compatible, and hand-built for precision, the Traverse HD i9 front wheel is engineered for riders who push limits every ride.
Backed by Roval’s Lifetime Warranty (with registration) and a 2-Year “It Happens” No-Fault Crash Replacement, this wheel delivers elite-level performance with long-term peace of mind.
