Roval Traverse 38 SL Fattie 27.5 148
Dial in grip, speed and reliability
While there may be a linear relationship between increased tire size and 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, and when you’re on the hunt for additional fun, these characteristics are undesirable.
Best for: Tyre setup, replacement and ride-quality upgrades matched to your terrain and wheel size.

Key features
- Lucky for you, the new age of traction, stability, and speed has arrived—and its name is the Traverse 38 SL Fattie 27.5.
- Along with light overall weight, stiffness, and durability, another top priority for the Traverse SL was ease of use.
- First off, we got rid of the creaky straight-pull spokes and corrosion-prone alloy nipples.
- Next up, we landed on 28 J-bend spokes, for front and rear wheels, that are all the same length—making it easy to find replacements if needed.
- And finally, we engineered a new hub design, with a wider profile and 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.
Fit, compatibility and finish can vary by selected variant. Ask Spoke N Trail if you need help confirming the right option for your bike.
