The Bontrager RXXXL Mountain Bike wheels

"XXX Rated"

Products from Bontrager don't attain 'XXX' rating easily; do they Keith? They are Best-in-Class products or they simply won't make the grade. One of these standout products was at Trek World this year, brilliant new wheels from Bontrager.


They're now in Australia and one happy M1 Cycles customer, who wants a racing edge, has had his new hoops delivered. We threw them on the scales and had a chance to ogle them before he picked them up.

Seriously Sexy and Light.

You want to be the Fastest you can be, get on these wheels!!

Bontrager Race XXX Lite Front Mountain Bike Wheel on the scales at 630g. Built up with Tubeless TLR kit, Avid HSX 160mm Disc and Bontrager XR2 Team Issue Tyres gives you a front wheel complete at 1400g.
Bontrager Race XXX Lite Rear Mountain Bike Wheel on the scales at 726g. Built up with Tubeless TLR kit, Avid HSX 140mm Disc, XX Cassette and Bontrager XR2 Team Issue Tyres gives you a front wheel complete at 1700g.
Bontrager RXXXL 29er Wheel at Trek World Earlier in 2013. These wheels (MY14) are available in Australia and from M1 Cycles now.  A complete wheelset at 3100g for a 29er....How much does your complete wheelset weigh, How much are they slowing you down (remember: it's rotating mass)? 
These wheels are probably the fastest 29er Wheels on the planet; they don't get the XXX label for just looking good.

The Aura 5

Read BikeRadar's Review
"The Aura 5 cleverly combines speed, comfort, stability and grip"
The Bontrager Aura 5 Wheelset is the highest perfomance/price wheelset on the road. With Aluminium rim mated to 50mm carbon profile (borrowed from the Aeolus D3 wheels) they are crazy fast.
