Roval Traverse 38 SL Fattie 650b 148While there may be a linear relationship between increased tyre size and increased fun, this relationship only holds true when wider tyres are paired with the correct width rims.

While there may be a linear relationship between increased tyre size and increased fun, this relationship only holds true when wider tyres are paired with the correct width rims. Having a three-inch tyre mated to a narrow rim makes for a squirmy, poor handling experience, and when youÕre on the hunt for additional fun, these characteristics are undesirable. Lucky for you, the new age of traction, stability, and speed has arrivedÑand its name is the Traverse 38 SL Fattie 650b with a 148 rear.

While our 30-millimeter Traverse SL is already wider than most offerings from others, the benefits of three-inch tyres become more apparent with a proper rim interface. In search for the proper width, our engineers tested various iterations, from 30 to 45 millimetres, to determine where the sweet spot lies. What they ended up with is a 38-millimeter internal rim width that turns the Traverse 38 SL Fatties into descending machines.

A wide internal rim width endows riders with a variety of advantages that are exemplified even more with plus-sized tyres. The extra width allows for more tyre volume, translating into more supple ride qualities, and better support for the tyre, meaning that you'll experience less "burping" when riding tubeless and a drastic increase in traction. After determining the proper rim width for the plus-sized application, we began designing the rim using the same low-weight, high-strength technologies used in the Traverse SL and the Control SL. With this, we started with our Zero Bead Hook design that effectively eliminates the biggest weak spot found in traditional rims, and topped it off by using high-modulus carbon fibre to keep the weight down to a respectable 1650 grams.

Each Traverse 38 SL Fattie is hand-built to our own alloy hubs with DT Swiss Revolution spokes. Inside our hubs, you'll find sealed cartridge bearings all-around, and a quick-engaging 54t DT Swiss star ratchet system in the rear, allowing you to power over rocks and roots without delay. And while machines do a decent job of building wheels, we choose professionally trained humans to build ours, as they catch various flaws that a machine would otherwise miss. You likely noticed that the 24-front/28-rear spoke count seems low for such a burly wheelset, but during testing we discovered that when built with 32 spokes, the wheels were too stiff, resulting in poor ride quality.

To further reduce the overall weight, the wheels also include the Roval tubeless plug system, which sheds an additional 50-grams-per-wheel compared to a rim strip. Finally, with the 110/148 variant, you receive all of the benefits that Boost spacing offers. By increasing the width of the front and rear hub flanges, and in turn, increasing frame and fork clearance and stiffness, you obtain a stiffer, stronger, and more durable system at a minor weight penalty.

If youÕre headed into the plus-sized wheel market, pick yourself up a set of Traverse Fattie SL 38 650Bs and notice for yourself that Fatties donÕt have to feel fat.

I am hopeful this new version of Pocket Hose is better built than earlier versions!
I have not had great luck with earlier versions of Pocket Hose products! I have had leaks, hose blowout holes, leaks at the facet connector and sprayer difficulty! BUT, I wanted to give the new Copper Head Hose a try. I like all the new features and feel they have made good enhancements to the hose quality! I have had the new hose for a week or so and it appears to be of better quality than previous versions. The hose is working great and I am hopeful it will last longer than the last ones. However the product is expensive and this will be my last purchase of Pocket Hose if I have ANY issues in the future. I will update my review in the future!

love the pockets hose!!!
Style: Ballistic, Size: 75 FT
I usually don't do reviews but the pocket hose is so great I had to . It works so well, flexible , not heavy or cumbersome to move about as it curls back to water spigot when water turned off after using!!! Fun to watch I want to throw all my other hoses out !! I am elderly and this is so light and easy for me to use. I first saw as an add on TV and was skeptical! So happy I gave it a try!! We now have2 -5oft and 1 -75 ft. Try it you'll like it !! I promise!! \

Not as durable as advertised.
This hose is not as durable as advertised. First time I used it and didn't work. The hose itself was slit or had some other issue with the band inside because water leaked through the hose and did not reach the nozzle. Update: I wrote to the manufacturer of the hose, Pocket Hose, regarding the defective hose. On May 30, 2026, they agreed to replace my hose under their warranty. On June 2, 2026, I received an email from them stating they recently updated their warranty policy to 30 days, and my notice was outside their 30-day warranty period. I then received an email from the seller of the hose, Bulb Head offering me a full refund on the hose. Something the manufacturer would not do. All I wanted was a replacement. I am changing my rating for the seller to 5 Stars for standing behind the sale of their product. Thank you, Bulb Head!

Great hose
Style: Regular, Size: 150 FT
I love these hoses. Length:I have a 50’ for the front yard and 150’ hose for the backyard. Nozzle is perfect for watering flowers, garden or great for washing the car. Flexible: Lightweight and so easy to move around. Turn off the water at the house and let it drain out the nozzle. Doesn’t take long to drain and return to original length. Durability is excellent. Connectivity is so easy.

Great product until it split
We bought the pocket hose 100’ copperhead expandable garden hose through Amazon from Bulbhead April 2025. We love the fact that it is light, retracts, doesn’t kink and came with a versatile nozzle. However, 13 months later, the hose split overnight, leaking an unknown amount of water to the street and eliminating water pressure in our house. Once we found the leak, we contacted the company. We were told there was a 30 day warranty and that our product was no longer covered. I’m not sure what product would break down in 30 days! I was asked if I could be compensated at all and they said no, there are discounts on the website. I will never buy this product through this company again as their customer service is lacking. Nothing was offered as a personal discount for their defective product.
