Description

Step up to the great ride, low weight and excellent reliability of Bontrager's Race X Lite TLR 29 Wheels. Thanks to the 24mm wide rims and straight-pull, double-butted bladed spokes with locking aluminum nipples, these hoops are light enough to rule cross-country races. With the included TLR rim strips, TLR valves, and Center Lock rotor attachment, these wheels are a cinch to set up tubeless. The precision Bontrager hubs are built with DT Swiss star ratchet internals for rapid engagement and come with adapters for a traditional 135mm quick release or 142 x 12mm through axles.

Features & Info

Tubeless Ready

Bontrager's Tubeless Ready Rim Strip and Valve. These Tubeless-Ready wheels come with a special rim strip to seal the spoke bed and a presta valve. With a Tubeless-Ready tire and sealant (sold separately) you can roll without tubes for less flats, lower tire pressure, and better cornering. Plus, you'll shave rotational weight, so your bike will feel lighter and more responsive.

RXL Excellent so far

Pros:: Appear To Be Strong

Cons:: None so far

Best Uses:

2500 mi so far. I'm a Clydesdale at 210 lb and pretty strong. Cracked 2 sets of Bontrager Race wheels around the nipples at 1500 and 1000 mi before they upgraded me to these RXLs at Bontrager reps suggestion. Riding in Cali so the roads are clean not rutted or potholed. Spoke reinforcements seem to be the ticket for me! Shifts better with 2 spacers (10 speed) than Race model.
