Traverse SL II Hydra2
Smoother is Faster
The Traverse SL II delivers lightweight performance that’s perfect for riders who want to ascend fast and descend with control. It features four key innovations. First, optimized front and rear rim layups boost strength by 15% and 25%, respectively. Second, shallow rim geometry increases vertical compliance by 21% for better impact absorption. Third, the engineered “ankling” enhances traction, stability, and control. Finally, the FlatStop rim bead requires 85% more force to pinch flat.

Stronger than Ever
Ride Faster, Hit Harder
Front and rear-specific rims ride smoother, yet are 15% stronger upfront and 25% in the rear.
Front and rear wheels experience different forces—so we designed them differently. Our front and rear-specific carbon rims boost strength by 15% up front and 25% in the rear over the previous Traverse SL. The result? A stronger, faster ride that’s up for going as hard as you.

85% More Force to Flat
Specialized’s FlatStop technology (US patent pending) uses a 5mm bead design that requires 85% more force to pinch flat compared to a traditional round bead, virtually eliminating dreaded snake bites. It’s a game-changing update that keeps riders rolling, even through the roughest terrain—because nobody wants to be stuck trailside with a flat.

Roval Threadbed Valve
Specialized’s Roval ThreadBed Valve threads directly into the rim, eliminating the need for compression nuts and preventing air loss caused by rim flex. Designed by engineer Chuck Teixeira, it also makes tubeless setup easier and helps reduce annoying sealant clogs—so you spend more time riding, less time fiddling.

Lifetime Warranty & Crash Replacement
Ride with confidence—Specialized backs the Traverse HD with a lifetime warranty when registered within 90 days of purchase. And if things go sideways? Their 2-Year “It Happens” No-Fault Crash Replacement has you covered. If you damage your Roval wheels while riding within the first two years and it’s not a warranty issue, Specialized will still repair or replace them. Just make sure to register your wheels.
