Bontrager Paradigm Pro Road Rear Wheel

While the 29mm internal rim width is optimized for wider gravel tires, it can accommodate standard road tires depending on the specific tire width and your bike frame's clearance. However, this wheel is primarily engineered to provide stability and support for higher-volume gravel setups.

The wheel ships with a Shimano HG11 freehub body, which is compatible with Shimano 10/11/12 and SRAM 10/11 cassettes. If you are running a SRAM XDR drivetrain, you will need to purchase the XDR freehub body separately.

The wider internal rim provides a more stable base for gravel tires, allowing you to run lower tire pressures without the tire squirming in corners. This results in better traction, increased comfort, and a more predictable ride quality on loose or technical terrain.

Bontrager's Carbon Care program offers free repair or replacement if you damage your wheels within the first two years of ownership. This coverage is in addition to their lifetime warranty, which protects against defects in materials and workmanship for the original owner.

No, this wheel is designed exclusively for center lock disc brake systems. It is not compatible with traditional rim brakes.

Tubeless Ready (TLR) means the rim profile and bead seat are specifically designed to hold a tubeless tire securely. You will need to install tubeless rim tape, a tubeless-compatible valve, and sealant to complete the setup, which helps reduce the risk of pinch flats and allows for lower tire pressures.
