Specialized Traverse SL II I9 29-inch Rear

SMOOTHER IS FASTER: Trail riders who prize nimble handling will be blown away by the category-leading control, strength-to-weight ratio, and pinch-flat resistance of Traverse SL II i9. STRONGER: Front and rear-specific rims with carbon layups optimized for strength and weight boast 15% greater front wheel strength and 25% more rear wheel strength than the previous Traverse SL. VERTICAL COMPLIANCE: The new Traverse SL II i9 1/1 is 21% more vertically compliant than the previous model (delivered through a shallow rim shape and front/rear-specific layup), which enables enhanced terrain-hugging and bump-force-absorbing control. TRAVERSE SL II i9 1/1: TRACTION MONSTER: Carefully engineered rim shape intentionally flexes for improved support and traction to boost confidence and control. TOUGH LIFE, LONG LIFE: Engineered rim offset enables balanced spoke tension for improved fatigue life. SAYONARA PINCH FLATS: Our U.S. patent pending Flat Top bead profile requires 85% more force to pinch flat compared to a standard round bead, virtually eliminating "snake bites." AIR TIME: Thank our genius engineer, Chuck Teixeira, for inventing the "Roval ThreadBed Valve"--a valve that threads directly into the rim. This ingenious design eliminates compression nuts, air loss from rim flex, makes tire set-up easier, and reduces sealant clogs. HIGH ENGAGEMENT: The i9 1/1 hub optimizes control via a dual-phased-pawl drive mechanism, accomplishing 90 points of engagement and 4 engagement by way of a six-pawl driver and 45-tooth drivering. The result is immediate power transfer from the pedals to the drivetrain, propelling riders forward with minimum lag. Perfect for ratcheting through techy sections. LIFETIME WARRANTY: On Roval Wheels when registered within the first 90 days of purchase.
