Roval Traverse Carbon Wheelset

The Zero Bead Hook design eliminates the traditional hooked rim wall, which creates a stronger, more impact-resistant rim. It also provides better tire support, allowing you to run lower tire pressures for increased traction without the risk of burping or tire squirm.

The rear hub comes equipped with a SRAM XD freehub body, which is compatible with SRAM Eagle and other XD-compatible cassettes. If you are running a Shimano drivetrain, you will need to swap the freehub body to a Micro Spline or HG version.

While these wheels are optimized for tubeless setups—and include the necessary valve stems—they are fully compatible with standard clincher tires and tubes. However, running them tubeless is highly recommended to take full advantage of the rim's design and lower pressure capabilities.

The 30mm internal width is the current sweet spot for modern trail tires, typically ranging from 2.3 to 2.6 inches wide. This width provides a stable platform that prevents the tire from folding over in hard corners, giving you more predictable handling.

The DT Swiss 350 hubs are renowned for their reliability and ease of service. The star ratchet system can be disassembled and cleaned by hand without any specialized tools, making it one of the easiest hub systems to maintain at home.

While they are specifically engineered for trail riding, the carbon layup and Boost spacing provide significant lateral stiffness. They are robust enough for aggressive trail use, though riders focusing exclusively on heavy-duty enduro racing might prefer a heavier, more reinforced rim option.
