Roval Traverse SL Handlebar

Yes. The Traverse SL is engineered to bridge the gap between disciplines, offering the durability required for aggressive downhill riding while remaining light enough for competitive cross-country use.

The 35mm clamp diameter is primarily used to increase structural strength and improve the security of the interface between the bar and stem. While it creates a stiffer platform, Roval has tuned the carbon layup to ensure the bar ends still provide necessary vibration damping for comfort.

Yes, the 800mm width can be trimmed to your preferred length. We recommend using a fine-tooth hacksaw and following standard carbon fiber cutting procedures to avoid fraying or damaging the material.

The carbon fiber is strategically layered to provide vertical compliance at the bar ends. This design helps absorb trail chatter and high-frequency vibrations, which significantly reduces hand and arm fatigue during longer rides.

This handlebar features a 30mm rise, an 8-degree backsweep, and a 6-degree upsweep. This geometry is designed to provide a natural, ergonomic hand position that balances control with comfort.
