Specialized Traverse SL II Hydra2 Features
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.
