Specialized Traverse SL Carbon Front Wheel - 27.5" | 6-Bolt | 15x110mm - Carbon/Black

Trail wheels often fall into two categories - they’re either heavy and durable or light and flexy. And because of this, a lightweight, wide-profile, and enduro-ready carbon wheel seems like something only found in a fairytale, but lucky for you, Specialized made it a reality.

The Traverse SL 27.5 puts all the flick'able, nimble features you need in an all-mountain wheel into one package, and it has the results to prove it

Along with light overall weight, stiffness, and durability, another top priority for the Traverse SL was ease of use. First off, Specialized got rid of the creaky straight-pull spokes and corrosion-prone alloy nipples. Next up, they landed on 28 J-bend spokes, for both the front and rear wheels, that are all the same length - making it easy to find replacements if needed. And finally, Specialized engineered a new hub design, with a wider profile and higher flange to aid in overall stiffness.
