Smoother is Faster
21% more vertically compliant than the previous model — shallow rim shape and front/rear-specific layup enable enhanced terrain-hugging and bump-force-absorbing control.
Industry Nine 1/1 Hub — 4° Engagement
90 points of engagement via 6-pawl driver and 45-tooth drivering. Immediate power transfer from pedals to drivetrain — perfect for ratcheting through techy sections.
Flat Top Bead — 85% More Pinch-Flat Resistant
U.S. patent pending Flat Top bead profile requires 85% more force to pinch flat compared to standard round bead — virtually eliminates snake bites.

Threaded valve threads directly into the rim — eliminates compression nuts, reduces air loss from rim flex, makes tire set-up easier, and reduces sealant clogs.
15% / 25% Stronger
Front and rear-specific carbon layups optimized for each wheel's role. 15% greater front wheel strength, 25% more rear wheel strength than the previous Traverse SL.
