Wheels
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.
Triathlon / Time Trial
The Aeolus 9 D3 is the fastest full-carbon clincher wheel on the market. With a 90mm depth OCLV D3 rim and silky smooth, Swiss-made hubs, they are the optimal wheels for time trials, triathlons or any ride where speed is key.
The Aeolus 7 D3 wheel combines the aerodynamic performance of our 70mm racing tubulars with the tire installation ease of a clincher. Combined with OCLV carbon and silky smooth, Swiss-made hubs, these are the ideal wheel choice for time trials, triathlons and criteriums with constantly changing wind conditions.
This Aeolus 5 D3 wheel combines the all-around performance of our 50mm racing tubulars with the tire installation ease of a clincher. Now everyone can race like a professional over rolling terrain and in varying crosswinds. A full carbon, made in the USA rim laced to silky smooth, Swiss-made hubs.
The climber's choice. Our D3 rim profile in a 35mm height yields an amazingly light wheelset with the aerodynamics of a far greater rim profile. There is no better way to make your bike perform better than removing rotational weight, and there is no better, lightweight clincher wheel system. Includes full OCLV carbon rims and silky smooth, Swiss-made hubs.
The Aeolus 9 D3 is in a class of its own as the fastest non-disc wheel in the world. With a 90mm depth OCLV rim and precision DT internals, they are the optimal wheels for time trials, triathlons or any ride where speed is key.
When seeking flat-out aerodynamic perfection, this 70mm D3 profile speeds through time trials and triathlons while improving front end control needed for constantly changing wind during criteriums. A full carbon, made in the USA rim laced to silky smooth, Swiss-made hubs.
The best all around wheelset on the road today. Period. This 50mm D3 profile is light enough for mountain races, handles great in a crosswind, yet performs aerodynamically like a deeper section wheel. A full carbon, made in the USA rim laced to silky smooth, Swiss-made hubs.
Using all the lessons from designing our new Aeolus D3 wheels, the brand new Aura 5 wheelset has an aluminum rim mated to a 50mm carbon profile. Proven to be crazy fast in the wind tunnel, the Aura is the highest performance for the price on the road.
