Uncompromising speed
The lightweight Aeolus RSL 51 is the perfect upgrade for those wanting more speed. Created through a three-dimensional model design process, the new Aeolus RSL delivers a step change in speed, without sacrificing stability. Crafted from lightweight RSL-grade OCLV Carbon, it's shaped around a new 51mm rim profile for unrivaled speed and versatility in any conditions. The Tubeless Ready rims with a wider 23mm internal channel allow greater smoothness by reducing resistance during acceleration, while the ultra-light DT Swiss 240s internal mechanism hubs and the Ratchet EXP freewheel body with 36 engagement points guarantee maximum fluidity.
All Bontrager carbon wheels come with a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser and feature the added Carbon Care protection. If the wheels suffer structural damage during use within two years of purchase, we will replace them free of charge. Simpler than that!
