Specialized Traverse SL II Hydra2 Wheels Description:
Specialized Traverse SL II Hydra2 Carbon Wheels are smoother, faster, stronger, and offer more traction, delivering lightweight trail performance for riders who want to ascend fast and descend with control. Front and rear-specific rim designs boast 15% greater front wheel strength and 25% more rear wheel strength for ultimate dependability. A smooth line is a faster line, which is why Specialized optimized the SL II with torsional and lateral stiffness in the rim, resulting in a more compliant wheel for terrain-hugging control and comfort. Traverse SL II offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and is designed with FlatStop technology that requires 85% more impact force to cause a pinch flat compared to standard round beads. Experience true tubeless bliss using the Roval ThreadBed Valve, a valve design that threads directly into the rim, virtually eliminating air loss from rim flex, reducing sealant clogs, and making tubeless setup easier.
Note: 275 lb. Rider weight limit.
