| WHEELSETS - ROAD |

Next to the bike frame itself, nothing has a bigger impact on your bike's performance than your wheels. From rugged training wheels to featherweight racing wheels, upgrading to a set of Bontrager wheels is a surefire way to save weight, go faster, and improve your bike's handling.
The Evolution of Revolution
The best materials. The latest technologies. And nearly a decade of experience on the road, in the wind tunnel, and underneath the world's best riders. A totally new line of road wheels from Bontrager has arrived.
Some Things Change
Switching to an alternating spoke lacing pattern helps make our new rims lighter and our wheels more aerodynamic.
Some Things Don't
OCLV Carbon. Scandium. The best wheels start with the best materials. |
Less is More
We've trimmed weight where it matters most—at the rim—for energy savings you'll appreciate with every turn of the wheel.
Centered Around Reliability
At the heart of our new road wheels sit redesigned hubs that provide quicker engagement, better power transfer, and improved durability.
Greater Than the Sum of its Parts
From lacing pattern to spoke bracing angle, our new Bontrager road wheels are designed and built as an entire system that optimizes every aspect of wheel performance.

| Aeolus 6.5 Clincher |
|
The Aeolus 6.5 is an extremely aerodynamically efficient wheelset that's perfectly suited for all but the windiest days. Deep, 65mm tall rim cross-section, 16 DT bladed spokes, OCLV carbon rim and new Bontrager engineered hubset make the Aeolus fast and durable.
|
|
FEATURES
- 65mm cross section and toroidal shape gives the optimum height to width ratio for aerodynamic performance (with 22mm tire)
- New lacing pattern matched with our revised OCLV carbon layup create a lightweight wheel with superior aerodynamic performance in the most common wind conditions
- Aerodynamic rim profile designed in collaboration with aero-guru Steve Hed
- New hub designs feature improved engagement speed and aerodynamic profile as well as better drive mechanism durability
- Includes Ti skewers, wheel bags and alloy valve extenders

The Aeolus 5.0 features our wind-cheating 50mm carbon rim cross-section and top-quality materials to create our lightest aerodynamic wheelset.
|
|
FEATURES
- The carbon clincher version of Astana's daily racing wheelset.
- 50mm cross section and toroidal shape provide the optimal height to width ratio for aerodynamic performance on everyday rides (with 22mm tire)
- New lacing pattern and revised layup OCLV rim work together to provide the best combination of aerodynamics and weight in the Aeolus line
- Aerodynamic profile designed in collaboration with aero-guru Steve Hed
- New hubs design features improved aerodynamic profile as well as more durable drive mechanism with faster engagement than previous design
- Includes Ti skewers, wheel bags and alloy valve extenders

| Race X Lite |
|
Redesigned for 2010, the new Race X Lite wheelset is lighter, and more durable than ever with improved aerodynamics. Scandium alloy rims, optimized forged hub shells that feature improved drive mechanism durability over the previous generation. Race X Lite wheels continue to beat the competition with the best combination of weight, lateral stiffness and value.
|
|
FEATURES
- New lacing pattern mated to Scandium alloy rims increase durability and allow for lower rotational mass while maintaining stiffness and ride quality
- All new forged alloy hubs with optimized flange location and design increases lateral wheel stiffness and evenly distributes drive loads
- New Bontrager engineered hub internals increase drive engagement speed and more than double drive mechanism durability with no weight penalty
- No special tools required to service hub with easily removed alunimum freehub body
- 190 grams lighter than a pair of Race Lite wheels
