Roval Traverse SL II Hydra2

Overview

The Roval Traverse SL II Hydra2 is Specialized's premier lightweight trail carbon wheelset. Four key innovations define it: front and rear rims optimized individually for +15%/+25% strength gains, a shallow rim geometry for 21% more vertical compliance, "ankling" bead geometry for superior traction and grip, and the FlatStop bead requiring 85% more force to pinch flat. The Industry Nine Hydra2 hub with 145 teeth and 0.41° engagement provides near-instant power pickup. Limited lifetime warranty when registered within 90 days.
