DH tough and XC light the Traverse SL 35 is our handlebar premiere and capitalizes on our decades of carbon fiber experience to deliver precise control and exceptional comfort along with class leading strength to weight performance. Handlebars have grown wider in recent years and this has presented some interesting challenges. Because bars are wider leverage stress exerted at the stem has risen dramatically. The Traverse SL features a 35mm diameter at the stem clamp; this increases strength in this crucial zone while also dissipating the bar clamp load across a larger surface area. More secure clamping and a stronger handlebar - these are good things. Meanwhile our extensive experience with carbon fiber allows us to ensure maximum strength at the clamp and then tailor the carbon fiber layup to providing damping at the bar-ends resulting in a more comfortable less fatiguing ride. The Traverse SL 35 is strong enough to attack the gnarliest terrain durable and comfortable enough to hammer the chunder day in day out and light enough to make XC racers smile.

Does a mechanical advantage of increased gearing sound Interesting? If so read on. Through research and testing of many different prototypes with varying amounts of Ovality we found 115% (from the top centre) to be the optimum. This shrank the dead spot suitably and gave the same flawless chain retention and silence as our round rings. The shortening of the dead spot on the top and bottom of the power curve allows you to get back into the power phase of your crank rotation sooner.
Feel your bike come alive on the open road with the new Alpinist CLX II—the lightest best-handling clincher wheels we have ever made. Hyper-responsive acceleration magic in the corners sublime over rough roads all elevated with the performance of a tubeless system. There’s no room for a single excess gram whether you’re chasing summits or ride quality because perfection is only achieved when there is nothing left to take away. It takes more than a lightweight rim to deliver the incredible reactivity and handling of the tubeless Alpinist CLX II. The wheelset is designed as a system with our engineers controlling and testing every part of that system—hubs rims spokes lacing—and developing it hand-in-hand with Specialized Tubeless tires. The result is a 1250-gram tubeless wheelset with otherworldly ride quality. The Alpinist CLX II utilizes a hooked rim (allowing for real-world riding pressures up to 110psi if that’s your thing) for secure tire bead retention and an easier set up and mounting experience than ever before. All in a wheel that almost doubles current industry impact standards while managing to achieve the lightest weight possible. Our all-new LFD hubs are the spinning heart of the Alpinist CLX II. We carved 50 grams out of the previous Alpinist CLX hub with new low-profile hub bodies and machined rotor mounts. Inside DT Swiss EXP internals and SINC ceramic bearings deliver silky-smooth efficiency and outstanding durability.

Feel your bike come alive on the open road with the new Alpinist CL II featuring the lightest best-handling clincher rims we have ever made elevated with the performance of a tubeless system. The brand new Alpinist CL II now brings mountain-taming performance slightly closer to Earth with a carefully selected build designed to let riders take full advantage of the low rim and spoke mass. The Alpinist CL II utilizes the same rim as the Alpinist CLX II. They react to even the slightest increase in power with immediate acceleration and carve the purest lines in the corners yet they can also handle almost double the impact standards of every certifying body. The result is a 1375-gram tubeless wheelset with an otherworldly ride quality designed for real-world road pressures. The Alpinist CL II utilizes components curated to keep you rolling and rolling fast. The DT Swiss 350 hubs featuring their Star Ratchet drive system are reliable and easy to service while 24 DT Swiss CompRace Straightpull spokes front and rear laced to the rims with their alloy Pro Lock nipples are synonymous with reliability and can be obtained at any bike shop. The reduced rolling resistance of a tubeless setup is undeniable as are the benefits of improved handling and incredible puncture protection. It took the most extensive and demanding engineering and testing program we’ve ever undertaken. As a result of this extensive development the Alpinist CL II features a hooked rim that can handle a huge range of pressures up to 110psi and offers an easier set up and mounting experience than ever.

Since 2020 Rapide CLX wheels have won more races on the World Tour than any other wheels and we just made them faster. Meet the new Rapide CLX II. Combining the aerodynamics of a deep-section TT wheel with the light weight of a shallower climbing wheel and mixing in the superior efficiency and sublime handling of a tubeless system—the Rapide CLX II delivers maximum speed for real-world riding. We developed distinctly different shapes for the Rapide CLX II front and rear rims. The result is a wheelset that catches less drag than most 65mm wheelsets and brings a dramatic 25% improvement in stability over 50mm rims in wind gusts. The Rapide CLX II utilizes a hooked rim (allowing for real-world riding pressures up to 110psi if that’s your thing) for secure tire bead retention and an easier set up and mounting experience than ever before. All in a wheel that almost doubles current industry impact standards while managing to achieve the lightest weight possible. Our AeroFlange hubs are aerodynamically optimized with wide bracing angles for increased strength and reduced spoke weight. They also benefit from the reduced weight and increased strength of ceramic SINC bearings and the legendary durability of DT Swiss’ EXP freehub internals.
