Roval Traverse SL II i9 1/1 29 Front Carbon Mountain Bike Wheel – 28H
The Roval Traverse SL II i9 1/1 29 front mountain bike wheel is engineered for trail riders who demand maximum control, strength, and reliability without sacrificing weight. Built with a rear-specific carbon rim layup, this premium MTB wheel delivers 25% greater rear wheel strength than the previous Traverse SL while maintaining class-leading compliance and durability.
Designed to be smoother, faster, and tougher, the Traverse SL II front wheel features a shallow, asymmetric rim profile that increases vertical compliance by 21%, improving traction, comfort, and terrain-hugging control on rough trails. The innovative Flat Top bead profile dramatically reduces pinch flats, requiring 85% more force to snake-bite compared to traditional rim designs, making it ideal for aggressive trail and all-mountain riding.
At the hub, the Industry Nine 1/1 rear hub delivers lightning-fast engagement with 90 points of engagement and just 4° of pedal lag, ensuring immediate power transfer when navigating technical climbs and ratcheting through rock gardens. Balanced spoke tension, achieved through offset rim design, enhances long-term fatigue life and wheel longevity.
Tubeless-ready and compatible with tyre inserts, the Traverse SL II front wheel also features the patented Roval ThreadBed Valve, which threads directly into the rim for improved air retention, easier tubeless setup, and reduced sealant clogging. Hand-built for precision and backed by Roval’s lifetime warranty and 2-year crash replacement, this front wheel is built to take on everything the trail throws at it.
