Be the fastest you

The ultralight Aeolus RSL 51 is the perfect upgrade for a faster you. Created with Bontrager’s all-new three-dimensional modeling design process, the all-new Aeolus RSL delivers a step-change in speed without sacrificing stability. It’s built with the lightest RSL-level OCLV Carbon, shaped into a new 51mm rim profile for the ultimate in speed and versatility across all conditions. Tubeless Ready rims with a wider 23mm inner width proven to roll with less drag add to the overall speed gains, while ultralight hubs with DT Swiss 240s internals and a Ratchet EXP 36-freehub keep your ride smooth.

All Bontrager carbon wheels are warrantied for life for the original purchaser and come with the added protection of Carbon Care. If you structurally damage your wheels while riding in the first two years of ownership, we'll replace them. It’s that easy.

Our fastest wheels ever

Aeolus RSL wheels deliver a new dimension in speed. By utilizing 3D models throughout the iterative design process we were able to more accurately account for every gram of drag, in every direction, through every plane, and across all aspects of the wheel and tire system. And we didn't stop there. We also optimized for rolling resistance, landing on a wider 23mm inner rim width proven to roll faster.
