Bontrager Aeolus D3 TLR Clincher
Best aerodynamic front wheel for competitive time trialists and triathletes.
This is a pure speed weapon designed for flat-out time trials and triathlons where every second counts. The massive 90mm rim profile slices through wind with incredible efficiency, though you’ll certainly feel the crosswinds more than you would on a shallower setup. It’s a specialized tool for riders who prioritize raw aerodynamics above all else.
