Specialized Traverse HD 650B Carbon Wheelset

Roval Traverse HD 650B Carbon Wheelset

Built for the Toughest Terrain
The Traverse HD is the most robust carbon wheelset in the collection, engineered to take on everything from technical trail rides to bike parks and Enduro World Cup courses. Designed for riders seeking total control and outstanding durability, it offers superior protection against pinch flats and delivers the confidence to push boundaries.

Maximum Strength, Front to Back
Featuring the strongest rim design ever developed by the brand, the Traverse HD uses offset spoke drilling and a carbon layup tailored for each wheel. This ensures the front wheel provides control and compliance, while the rear delivers stiffness and impact resistance. Together, they form a trail-ready pair that excels under pressure.

Balanced Ride Feel
The front wheel has been constructed to offer a smoother, more composed ride, improving handling and reducing fatigue on rough terrain. The rear wheel, meanwhile, prioritises strength and stiffness, giving riders a solid, dependable platform to power through technical sections.

Responsive Handling and Grip
With precise engineering focused on stiffness and control, the Traverse HD improves grip and line accuracy. This results in enhanced handling, quicker transitions and a ride that responds instantly to rider input, making it ideal for fast, technical descents.

Pinch Flat Protection
The specially designed Flat Top bead profile significantly reduces the risk of pinch flats. It requires 85 percent more force to cause a pinch compared to standard round bead rims, offering riders extra confidence when running lower pressures on rough ground. Patent pending.

Advanced Tubeless Integration
Developed by engineer Chuck Teixeira, the Roval ThreadBed Valve removes the need for compression nuts, preventing air loss caused by rim flex. This system also simplifies tyre installation, reduces sealant clogs and improves tubeless reliability, delivering smoother and more secure setups.
