Bontrager Kovee Comp MTB Wheel

The Kovee Comp is a 29-inch rear wheel designed for cross-country bikes using a thru-axle system and 6-bolt disc brakes. It features a SRAM XD driver, so ensure your cassette is compatible with an 11 or 12-speed SRAM XD setup before purchasing.

The 25mm internal width provides a wider base for your tire, which improves sidewall support. This allows you to run slightly lower tire pressures for better traction and stability when cornering on technical terrain.

The wheel is tubeless-ready, meaning it is designed to be easily converted. You will need to install tubeless rim tape, a valve stem, and sealant to complete the setup, but the rim profile is optimized to make the tire seating process straightforward.

The Rapid Drive 108 hub features 108 points of engagement, which minimizes the 'dead space' when you start pedaling. This results in nearly instant power transfer to the rear wheel, making it much easier to accelerate quickly out of corners or navigate technical climbs.

Yes, this wheel is compatible with both tubeless-ready and standard clincher tire setups. If you prefer to stick with tubes, you can install them without any issues.
