Leading speed, confidence, and durability make the R3 Hard-Case Light Road Tire perfectly suitable for race day or everyday.

Bontrager's proprietary TR Speed Compound rolls faster. We went back to the drawing board and totally reworked our rubber compound to deliver a tire that is faster in the lab and faster on the road.

The updated tread design, casing construction, and all-new TR-Speed Compound deliver the perfect blend of speed, traction, and tread life. Detailed testing shows significant improvement in wear rate so you can get that new tire feel for longer—lots longer.

The improved Hard-Case Lite Puncture Protection adds in a Nylon105 breaker belt that offers increased protection against flats while maintaining a supple, smooth-rolling ride feel.

The R3's lightly treaded casing adds traction and cornering confidence. As the tire size increases the traction becomes more pronounced, perfect for aligning tire size with intended use.

If for any reason you're not satisfied with a Bontrager or Trek aftermarket purchase, return the item, along with the original sales receipt to the original place of purchase within 30 days for an exchange or refund. Think of it as a 30-day test ride.
