Bontrager Aeolus RSL 51 TLR Disc Road Wheel

A new dimension in speed

By completely rethinking our design process for Aeolus RSL, we moved way beyond marginal gains. Enabling 3D CFD models in our iterative feedback loop and incorporating more variables that affect speed, we were able to better replicate real-world conditions and make wheels that aren’t just faster but represent a step-change in speed.

The faster you

Aeolus RSL wheels aren’t just faster, they also make you more efficient with less wasted energy. Plus, they offer more stability and more tire compliance means you can focus on what matters most: being the fastest you.

Wider is faster

Aeolus RSL’s 23mm inner width provides a better aerodynamic connection with tires and allows them to roll faster. This design also lets you run lower tire pressures for a smoother, faster, and less fatiguing ride.

Faster with fewer watts

Aerodynamically faster rim shapes and a wheel/tire profile proven to reduce rolling resistance add up to major watt-savings. For a rider like Trek-Segafredo's Mads Pedersen, Aeolus RSL can save 34 watts in a sprint finish over previous Aeolus wheels of similar depth.

Race-caliber carbon

Race-caliber carbon
RSL-level OCLV Carbon is the lightest and strongest available, and it lets us create the fastest rim shapes we possibly can.

Tubeless Ready (TLR)

Easily set your wheelset up tubeless with Bontrager TLR rim strips or use a rim tape system for the lightest setup possible.

Move over, tubulars! This is the fastest wheel and tire system available, and it’s exactly what’s raced by Trek-Segafredo to give them an edge over the competition

DT with Ratchet EXP hubs

The all-new lighter-weight Ratchet EXP freehubs are built with proven DT Swiss 240s internals for consistent engagement and a smooth, fast-rolling feel.

Warrantied for life

Carbon wheels can lighten your ride and improve your performance—and when you ride Bontrager, your investment is protected. All Bontrager carbon wheels are backed by a lifetime warranty for the original owner.

Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty Program

Every set of Bontrager carbon wheels is backed by the Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty Program. In the unlikely event that you damage your Bontrager carbon wheels within the first two years of ownership, we’ll repair or replace them for free.
