Trail MTB · 29" · 1,757g · Industry Nine Hydra 2

The Traverse SL II delivers lightweight trail performance — ascend fast, descend with control. Four key innovations: optimized front and rear rim layups boost strength by 15% and 25%, shallow rim geometry increases vertical compliance by 21%, engineered "ankling" enhances traction and control, and FlatStop rim bead requires 85% more force to pinch flat.

  • 1,757g Total Wheelset: 795g front / 962g rear — lightweight trail performance.
  • 20mm Carbon Hookless Rims: 30mm internal width, asymmetric layup, 15%/25% stronger.
  • Industry Nine Hydra 2 Hubs: Near-instant 0.52° engagement, 6-bolt disc.
  • DT Swiss Revolite Spokes: 28H front and rear, 1:1 two-cross/two-cross tucked lacing.
  • 21% More Vertical Compliance: Shallow rim geometry soaks up impacts better.
  • FlatStop Bead: 85% more force required to pinch flat — confidence on the trail.
  • Butcher Grid Trail T9: 29x2.4" TLR designed, approved for 2.3"–2.6" tires.
  • E-Bike Approved: Suitable for e-MTB use.

Use: Trail / Mountain. Weight limit: 275 lbs / 125 kg.

Smoother is Faster
Four key innovations: optimized rim layups (15%/25% stronger), shallow geometry (21% more compliance), engineered "ankling" for traction, and FlatStop bead (85% more pinch-flat resistance).
Industry Nine Hydra 2 Hubs
0.52° engagement — that's 690 points of engagement for near-instant power transfer. J-bend spokes, 6-bolt disc, 28H lacing front and rear. SRAM XD compatible.
20mm Hookless Carbon Rims
Asymmetric Traverse SL II carbon rims, 20mm depth, 40mm external / 30mm internal width. Optimized for modern trail tires and tubeless setup. 28H drilling.
21% More Vertical Compliance
Shallow rim geometry increases compliance for better impact absorption — less fatigue, more control on rough terrain.
FlatStop Bead — 85% More Pinch-Flat Resistant
FlatStop rim bead requires 85% more force to pinch flat than standard hooks. Confidence on the trail without the weight penalty.
