Bontrager Aeolus Elite Road Rear Wheel

No, the Aeolus Elite is designed exclusively for disc brakes. It features a Centerlock disc interface and is not compatible with rim brake calipers.

You have the flexibility to run either. While the wheels are Tubeless Ready (TLR) and come with the necessary rim strips and valves for a tubeless setup, they are also fully compatible with standard clincher tires and inner tubes.

The rear hub is compatible with Shimano and SRAM road cassettes ranging from 9 to 11 speeds. If you are running a 12-speed setup, you will need to verify if your specific cassette is compatible with the standard HG freehub body provided.

The 35mm depth is a versatile 'all-rounder' profile. It provides a noticeable aerodynamic advantage over standard box-section rims without being so deep that it catches crosswinds, making it stable and predictable in varied riding conditions.

Carbon Care is a protection policy that covers your wheels if they are damaged while riding within the first two years of ownership. If that happens, Bontrager will repair or replace the wheel for the original purchaser.

Yes, this wheel is designed for modern road bikes using 12mm thru-axles. It is compatible with standard 142mm rear spacing.
