Bontrager Aeolus RSL 51 TLR Disc Wheels

The exceptionally light Aeolus RSL 51 is the perfect upgrade for anyone seeking more speed. Created through a design process using three-dimensional models, the new Aeolus RSL delivers a radical change in speed without sacrificing stability. Made from exceptionally light RSL-level OCLV carbon, it is shaped around the new 51mm rim profile for unparalleled speed and versatility in any conditions. Tubeless Ready rims with a wider 23mm internal width roll more freely by reducing resistance during acceleration, while ultralight hubs with DT Swiss 240s internals and a Ratchet EXP freehub body with 36 engagement points ensure maximum smoothness.

All Bontrager carbon wheels come with a lifetime warranty for the original purchaser and additional Carbon Care protection. If the wheels suffer structural damage during use within two years of purchase, we will replace them free of charge. It couldn’t be simpler!

Specifications:

Aeolus RSL wheels offer a new dimension in speed. Thanks to the 3D models used during the iterative design process, we were able to assess more accurately the effects of every gram of drag, in every direction, across every plane and throughout every part of the wheel-tyre system. But we went further. We also optimised rolling resistance by choosing the internal rim width (23mm) that proved fastest.
