Roval Traverse SL II Rear Wheel

The Flat Top bead profile is designed to significantly reduce pinch flats—by up to 85%—by creating a wider surface area that prevents the tire from being sliced against the rim edge during hard impacts.

This specific model is equipped with a SRAM XD freehub body. You will need to ensure your cassette is compatible with the XD standard before installation.

While the rim is optimized for a tubeless setup to take full advantage of the pinch-flat resistance and lower pressure capabilities, it can technically be used with a tube if necessary. However, for the best performance and ride quality, we strongly recommend a tubeless configuration.

The asymmetric profile allows for more balanced spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides of the wheel. This results in a stronger, more durable build that tracks better through technical terrain and offers more predictable handling.

This wheel is built for a 148x12mm Boost thru-axle standard. Please verify that your frame is compatible with Boost spacing before purchasing.

The Ratchet EXP 36t system is known for its reliability and simplicity. It requires minimal maintenance, but you should periodically clean and re-grease the ratchet rings to ensure consistent engagement and longevity.
