Bontrager Paradigm Pro Wheel

The 29mm internal width is engineered to provide a wider, more stable platform for modern, high-volume gravel tires. This extra support allows you to run lower tire pressures for better traction and comfort without the tire feeling squirmy or unstable in corners.

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

The Rapid Drive 108 hub features 108 points of engagement, which means there is very little 'dead space' when you start pedaling. This results in near-instant power transfer, which is particularly helpful when navigating technical gravel sections or accelerating out of tight corners.

No, Bontrager does not impose a specific rider weight limit on the Paradigm Pro wheels. Their OCLV Carbon construction is designed to be robust enough for a wide range of riders and aggressive gravel riding.

The Carbon Care program provides a two-year protection plan that covers structural damage to the carbon rims. If you damage your wheels during normal use within the first two years of ownership, Bontrager will repair or replace them at no cost.

While optimized for gravel, these wheels are perfectly capable for road riding. The OCLV Carbon construction is light and responsive, making them a versatile choice if you have a bike that pulls double-duty as both a road and gravel machine.
