The Roval Traverse 38 SL Fattie 27.5in 148 Wheelset is built to be lightweight, stiff and durable. While there may be a linear relationship between increased tyre size and increased fun, this relationship only holds true when wider tyres are paired with the correct width rims. Having a 2.8", or high-volume, tyre mated to a narrow rim makes for a squirmy, poor handling experience, and when you’re on the hunt for additional fun, these characteristics are undesirable. Lucky for you, the new age of traction, stability and speed has arrived - and its name is the Traverse 38 SL Fattie 27.5.Along with light overall weight, stiffness, and durability, another top priority for the Traverse SL was the ease of use. First off, Roval got rid of the creaky straight-pull spokes and corrosion-prone alloy nipples. Next up, they landed on 28 J-bend spokes, for front and rear wheels, that are all the same length - making it easy to find replacements if needed. And finally, they engineered a new hub design, with a wider profile and higher flange to aid in overall stiffness.While the 38-millimetre Traverse SL is already wider than most offerings, the benefits of three-inch tyres become more apparent with a proper rim interface. In a search for the proper width, Roval engineers tested various iterations. From 30 to 45 millimetres, to determine where the sweet spot lies. What they ended up with is a 38-millimetre internal rim width that turns the Traverse 38 SL Fatties into descending machines.A wide internal rim width endows riders with a variety of advantages that are exemplified even more with plus-sized tyres. The extra width allows for more tyre volume, translating into more supple ride qualities, and better support for the tyre, meaning that you'll experience less "burping" when riding tubeless and a drastic increase in traction. After determining the proper rim width for the plus-sized application, Roval began designing the rim using the same low-weight, high-strength technologies used in the Traverse SL and the Control SL. With this, they started with their Zero Bead Hook design that effectively eliminates the biggest weak spot found in traditional rims, and topped it off by using high-modulus carbon fibre to keep the weight down. And to further this theme, the wheels also include the Roval tubeless plug system, which sheds an additional 50 grams-per-wheel compared to a rim strip.Each Traverse 38 SL Fattie is hand-built to Roval's own alloy hubs with DT Swiss Competition Race spokes. Inside these hubs, you'll find sealed cartridge bearings all-around, and a quick-engaging 54t DT Swiss star ratchet system in the rear, that allows you to power over rocks and roots without delay. And while machines do a decent job of building wheels, Roval chooses professionally trained humans to build theirs, as they catch various flaws that a machine would otherwise miss.Roval Traverse 38 SL Fattie 27.5in 148 Wheelset SpecificationsRim Type: Carbon clincher, 2Bliss Ready, Zero Bead Hook design.
