Bontrager Kovee Pro MTB Rim

Yes, this is an original equipment replacement rim specifically designed for the Bontrager Kovee Pro 30 wheelset. It is intended to be a direct swap if you are rebuilding or repairing your existing wheels.

While the rim is optimized for a tubeless-ready (TLR) setup, you can use it with inner tubes if you prefer. However, to get the best performance and puncture protection, we recommend setting it up tubeless with compatible sealant and rim strips.

No, this rim is designed exclusively for disc brake systems. It does not have the necessary braking surface required for rim brakes.

The 28.5 mm internal width is versatile and pairs well with most modern mountain bike tires ranging from 2.2 to 2.5 inches. This width provides a stable base that helps reduce tire squirm during aggressive cornering.

This rim features 28 spoke holes, so you must use a hub and spoke configuration that matches this 28-hole count. Because this is a carbon rim, ensure your wheel builder uses the correct spoke length calculations for the specific hub you are pairing it with.
