SURVIVAL OF THE STRONGEST: More than the strongest carbon wheelset in our known universe, Traverse HD i9 delivers unbeatable control and pinch-flat resistance in severe terrain, unlocking progression in the bike park, on a trail ride, or on World Cup Downhill track.
STRONG LIKE BULL (NO BULL): Our strongest rim shape, combined with off-set spoke drilling and molded with optimized carbon fiber for front and rear-specific characteristics, adds up to the strongest carbon trail wheels we have ever made.
SMOOTH AND STRONG: The front layup delivers a smooth, control-enhancing ride, while the rear optimizes stiffness and impact strength.
HIGH PRECISION HANDLING: The fusion of control and durability—where stiffness meets grip, Traverse HD i9 glues you to your line and snaps you to the next with precision and speed.
SAYONARA PINCH FLATS: Our U.S. patent pending Flat Top bead profile requires 85% more force to pinch flat compared to a standard round bead, virtually eliminating "snake bites.”
AIR TIME: Thank our genius engineer, Chuck Teixeira, for inventing the “Roval ThreadBed Valve”—a valve that threads directly into the rim. This ingenious design eliminates compression nuts, air loss from rim flex, makes tire set-up easier, and reduces sealant clogs.
HIGH ENGAGEMENT: The i9 1/1 hub optimizes control via a dual-phased-pawl drive mechanism, accomplishing 90 points of engagement and 4° engagement by way of a six-pawl driver and 45-tooth drivering. The result is immediate power transfer from the pedals to the drivetrain, propelling riders forward with minimum lag. Perfect for ratcheting through techy sections.
LIFETIME WARRANTY: On Roval Wheels when registered within the first 90 days of purchase.
CRASH REPLACEMENT: 2-Year “It Happens” No Fault Crash Replacement—If you damage your Roval product while riding within the first two years of ownership and it’s not covered under warranty, we’ll still replace or repair it. “It Happens” is market-specific, and wheels must be registered. Please contact Rider Care in your Country for more details.
