Traverse SL II i9 1/1 - 29" Front 28-Hole Satin Carbon / Gloss Black

Detail Information

Take on technical trails with confidence with the Roval Traverse SL II i9 1/1 29" Front Wheel – 28-Hole Satin Carbon. Engineered for trail riders who demand precise handling, strength and control, this premium carbon front wheel combines an advanced rim design with the responsive Industry Nine 1/1 hub.

The Traverse SL II features a front-specific carbon rim layup optimised to balance strength and weight. Compared with the previous Traverse SL generation, the front wheel delivers 15% greater strength and the updated design provides 21% more vertical compliance. Its carefully engineered rim profile is designed to flex under load, helping improve terrain tracking, traction and rider confidence over rough trails.

A key innovation is the patent-pending Flat Top bead profile, which requires 85% more force to pinch flat compared with a standard round bead. This design helps reduce the risk of pinch flats when tackling rocky and demanding terrain.

The Industry Nine 1/1 hub features a dual-phased-pawl drive mechanism with 90 points of engagement and 4° engagement for responsive power transfer. The Roval ThreadBed Valve threads directly into the rim, eliminating the need for compression nuts and helping simplify tyre setup while reducing potential air loss from rim flex and sealant clogs.

With its Satin Carbon finish, advanced carbon construction and high-engagement hub technology, the Roval Traverse SL II i9 1/1 is built for riders looking for dependable control and performance on challenging mountain bike trails.
