TRAVERSE HD I9 1/1

SURVIVAL OF THE STRONGEST:

More than the toughest carbon wheelset in our known universe, the Traverse HD i9 offers unmatched control and pinch resistance in extreme terrain, unlocking your full potential at the bike park, on trail rides, or World Cup downhill tracks.

TOUGH AS A BULL (NO EXAGGERATION):

Our strongest rim to date combines an optimized shape, offset spoke holes, and molded carbon fiber tailored specifically for front and rear wheels, resulting in the most durable carbon trail wheels we’ve ever made.

SMOOTH AND STRONG:

The front laminate delivers a smooth and controlled ride, while the rear optimizes stiffness and impact resistance.

HIGH-PRECISION HANDLING:

The perfect fusion of control and durabilitywhere stiffness meets gripthe Traverse HD i9 keeps you glued to your line and propels you with precision and speed to the next one.

GOODBYE PINCH FLATS:

Our Flat Top bead profile, patent pending in the U.S., requires 85% more force to create a pinch flat compared to a standard round bead, virtually eliminating the dreaded snake bites.

AIR TIME:

Thanks to our engineer Chuck Teixeira for inventing the Roval ThreadBed Valve, which threads directly into the rim. This clever design eliminates compression nuts, prevents air loss from rim flex, simplifies tire installation, and reduces sealant clogging.

FAST ENGAGEMENT:

The i9 1/1 hub optimizes control with a dual-phase pawl system, 90 points of engagement, and a 4 engagement angle from its six pawls and 45-tooth driver. The result: immediate power transfer from pedals to drivetrain, propelling the rider with minimal delay. Ideal for technical sections where you need quick engagement.

LIFETIME WARRANTY:

On Roval wheels registered within 90 days of purchase.

CRASH REPLACEMENT:
