Bontrager Aeolus Elite Road Front Wheel

These wheels are versatile enough for both. With a 25mm internal rim width, they are specifically designed to support higher-volume tires, making them a great choice for gravel and mixed-terrain riding in addition to standard road use.

Yes, the Aeolus Elite is built specifically for disc brake systems. It uses a standard 12mm thru-axle interface, which is the current industry standard for most modern road and gravel disc bikes.

It means the rim profile is designed to securely hold a tubeless tire bead, allowing you to run lower pressures for better traction and puncture protection. You will need to install tubeless rim tape, a tubeless valve, and sealant to complete the conversion.

The 35mm depth is considered a shallow-to-mid profile, which is generally very stable and predictable in crosswinds. It provides an aerodynamic advantage without the twitchy handling often associated with deeper, race-focused wheels.

Bontrager offers a lifetime warranty for the original purchaser. This covers defects in materials and workmanship, providing long-term peace of mind for your investment.

The hub is compatible with Shimano 10, 11, and 12-speed cassettes, as well as SRAM 10 and 11-speed cassettes. If you are running a SRAM XDR drivetrain, you will need to swap the freehub body.
