Bontrager Aeolus RSL

The 37mm profile is specifically designed to balance aerodynamic gains with stability. You will find it significantly less affected by crosswinds than 50mm or 60mm rims, making it a predictable and composed choice for gusty days or technical descents.

These wheels are Tubeless Ready (TLR) but are fully compatible with standard clincher tires and tubes. You have the flexibility to run either setup depending on your preference for maintenance and ride feel.

The DT Swiss 240s hubs are widely regarded for their durability and ease of service. They feature a simple, tool-free design that makes routine cleaning and greasing straightforward, ensuring long-term reliability without specialized shop visits.

While the Aeolus RSL is engineered for road, climbing, and criterium racing, its robust OCLV carbon construction can handle light gravel or rough pavement. However, it is optimized for road tire widths and aerodynamics, so it may not be the ideal choice for dedicated gravel or cyclocross racing.

The internal rim width is 21mm. This width is optimized for modern road tires ranging from 25mm to 28mm, providing a stable tire profile that enhances cornering grip and rolling efficiency.

The wheels typically ship with the necessary TLR rim strips and valves to convert to a tubeless setup. You will only need to provide your own tubeless-compatible tires and sealant.
