The Traverse HD is the strongest carbon trail wheel ever tested, engineered for those who live to send it—maybe harder than they should. Designed to handle big hits and rowdy lines, the Traverse HD 240 DEG is built to keep rolling no matter how hard you charge.

The best wheel is the one you do not have to think about, and that is why these are the strongest set of hard-hitting carbon wheels ever made. A rim shape focused on impact targets derived from factory enduro riders and build quality designed to win. The front and rear layups are tuned to enhance characteristics specific to their locations on the bike. Nothing was left on the table, giving riders the durability they need with the performance they want.

No rider likes being stranded on the trail with a flat, which is why the Traverse HD wheels use the (US patent pending) 5mm FlatStop bead design. This optimized profile requires 85% more force to pinch flat compared to a standard round bead, virtually eliminating snake bites.

Traverse HD was engineered and tested for three years, searching for the perfect fusion of ride quality and durability, effectively creating the strongest, high-performance enduro wheel ever made. Traverse HD holds you in your line and snaps you to the next with precision and speed.

The DT Swiss 240 DEG hub delivers exceptional efficiency with its Ratchet DEG system, utilizing 90 points of engagement and 4° engagement. The result is near-immediate power transfer from the pedals to the drivetrain, providing a responsive and connected ride feel. Designed with enhanced durability and easy serviceability in mind, the 240 DEG hub is a perfect companion for conquering technical climbs and maintaining control through demanding terrain.

Features:

  • Roval ThreadBed Valve – A valve that threads directly into the rim, eliminating compression nuts and air loss from rim flex, making tire set-up easier, and reducing sealant clogs.
