Bontrager Aeolus RSL Disc Road Wheel

The 75mm depth is engineered specifically for maximum aerodynamic efficiency. By utilizing 3D modeling, this profile minimizes drag during high-speed efforts, making it an ideal choice for time trials, triathlons, or flat, fast road races where maintaining momentum is critical.

Yes, the Aeolus RSL is Tubeless Ready (TLR). It comes with the necessary TLR rim strip and valve, and it is compatible with both Bontrager TLR rim strips and standard TLR tape, giving you flexibility in how you choose to set up your tires.

The wheel ships with an 11-speed freehub body featuring DT Swiss 240s internals. If you are running a 12-speed drivetrain, you will need to purchase a compatible 12-speed freehub body separately.

The wider 23mm internal width is designed to support wider tires more effectively. This creates a smoother tire-to-rim transition, which reduces rolling resistance and allows you to run slightly lower tire pressures for better comfort and grip without sacrificing speed.

The DT Swiss 240s hub is widely regarded for its reliability and ease of service. The Ratchet EXP system is straightforward to disassemble and clean, meaning you can perform routine maintenance without needing specialized proprietary tools.

While the 75mm depth is incredibly fast, it is a deep-section wheel that can be more susceptible to crosswinds compared to shallower rims. If you frequently ride in very gusty conditions or on extremely technical, mountainous terrain, you might find a shallower rim profile easier to handle.
