Bontrager Paradigm Comp Road Wheel

This wheel is designed for Centerlock disc brake systems. Please ensure your bike uses a 12mm thru-axle, as it is not compatible with quick-release skewers.

Yes, while the wheel is Tubeless Ready, it is fully compatible with standard clincher tires and inner tubes. You can choose to set it up tubeless now or stick with tubes and switch later.

The wider internal width provides a more stable base for higher-volume road and gravel tires. This allows you to run lower tire pressures, which significantly improves traction, comfort, and rolling efficiency on rougher surfaces.

The offset spoke bed helps balance the spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides of the wheel. This results in a stiffer, more stable wheel that holds its shape better under cornering loads and hard efforts.

It is built for both. The robust aluminum construction and wider rim profile make it an excellent choice for modern gravel bikes, while the aerodynamic profile and responsive hub engagement perform well on pavement.
