While there may be a linear relationship between increased tire size & increased fun this relationship only holds true when wider tires are paired with the correct width rims. Having a 2.8 or high-volume tire mated to a narrow rim makes for a squirmy poor handling experience & when you’re on the hunt for additional fun these characteristics are undesirable. Lucky for you the new age of traction stability & speed has arrived—and its name is the Traverse 38 SL Fattie 27.5. Along with light overall weight stiffness & durability another top priority for the Traverse SL was ease of use. First off we got rid of the creaky straight-pull spokes & corrosion-prone alloy nipples. Next up we landed on 28 J-bend spokes for front & rear wheels that are all the same length—making it easy to find replacements if needed. & finally we engineered a new hub design with a wider profile & higher flange to aid in overall stiffness. While our 38-millimeter Traverse SL is already wider than most offerings the benefits of three-inch tires become more apparent with a proper rim interface. In search for the proper width our engineers tested various iterations from 30 to 45 millimetres to determine where the sweet spot lies. What they ended up with is a 38-millimeter internal rim width that turns the Traverse 38 SL Fatties into descending machines . A wide internal rim width endows riders with a variety of advantages that are exemplified even more with plus-sized tires. The extra width allows for more tire volume translating into more supple ride qualities & better support for the tire meaning that youll experience less burping when riding tubeless & a drastic increase in traction. After determining the proper rim width for the plus-sized application we began designing the rim using the same low-weight high-strength technologies used in the Traverse SL & the Control SL. With this we started with our Zero Bead Hook design that effectively eliminates the biggest weak spot found in traditional rims & topped it off by using high-modulus carbon fibre to keep the weight down. & to further this theme the wheels also include the Roval tubeless plug system which sheds an additional 50 grams-per-wheel compared to a rim strip Each Traverse 38 SL Fattie is h&-built to our own alloy hubs with DT Swiss Competition Race spokes. Inside our hubs youll find sealed cartridge bearings all-around & a quick-engaging 54t DT Swiss star ratchet system in the rear that means that you can power over rocks & roots without delay. & while machines do a decent job of building wheels we choose professionally trained humans to build ours as they catch various flaws that a machine would otherwise miss.

NOTHING CAN STOP IT. FULL STOP: The Traverse Alloy rim geometry is optimized for strength crafted with our most durable alloy & laced to DT 350 hubs with stout Sapim spokes & Sapim alloy nipples. What does it all add up to? A wheelset that hits harder holds up longer & inspires you to go bigger & farther than any other trail wheel out there. INCREASED DURABILITY: The engineered rim shape emphasizes the durability & strength of alloy- creating our most durable alloy wheel we have ever made. NEW ALLOY: New 6013 alloy material finished with shot peening for impact strength & fatigue strength. ENGINEERED OFFSET: Engineered rim offset enables balanced spoke tension for enhanced fatigue life to keep you rolling. While balanced spoke tension results in consistent flex when cornering. MONSTER TRACTION: 30mm internal rim width optimizes tire shape for the best traction. & an internally engineered bead shape ensures the bead bends inward for air pressure/tire retention under impact so you can always finish your ride.
