Bontrager Aeolus RSL Wheelset

The Aeolus RSL 51 is engineered specifically for stability in variable wind conditions. While deeper than a standard climbing wheel, the rim profile is shaped to minimize the 'sailing' effect, making it predictable and manageable even when gusts hit from the side.

Yes, these are tubeless-ready, which means they are fully compatible with standard clincher tires and inner tubes. You can choose to set them up tubeless for better puncture protection and lower rolling resistance, or stick with your preferred tube setup.

The wider internal rim provides better support for the tire sidewalls, which prevents the tire from 'squirming' during hard cornering. This allows you to run slightly lower tire pressures for a smoother ride and improved grip without sacrificing speed.

The stock hub is configured for Shimano 11-speed cassettes. If you are running a 12-speed drivetrain, you will likely need to swap the freehub body to a compatible standard, such as SRAM XDR or Shimano Micro Spline, depending on your specific groupset.

The DT Swiss 240s hubs are industry benchmarks for a reason—they are incredibly reliable, easy to service, and feature the Ratchet EXP system. This system provides quick, positive engagement when you put power into the pedals, ensuring efficient energy transfer.

They are built to be durable enough for daily riding while being light and aerodynamic enough for racing. The OCLV carbon construction is robust, so you don't need to save them exclusively for events; they are designed to handle the rigors of regular road training.
