Bontrager Aeolus RSL TLR Road Tire

Overview

Aeolus RSL delivers free speed

Aeolus RSL is a fast and supple race tire. Its 320tpi cotton casing and Race Dual Compound minimize rolling resistance, and as an added bonus, the tire's aerodynamics have improved, making it feel like you're always riding with a tailwind.

Features

Aeolus, the god of wind and nemesis of all road cyclists, has been doling out performance-inhibiting wind for centuries. Lucky for you, we’ve spent the last 25 years engineering ways to outsmart him with our proven Aeolus wheels, saddles, handlebars, and tires.

Aeolus RSL is a race-ready road tire that delivers a serious +3.7 watt savings* in rolling resistance, giving you a massive boost of free speed. *Versus the R3 TLR.

The new design cultivates impressive aerodynamic gains, helping you save precious watts that'll have you feeling like you're always in a tailwind.

A 320tpi cotton casing with more flexible fibers offers the comfort and speed by better conforming to road surfaces. The result is a smoother, fast, and grippier experience.

Ride easy with the confident flat protection of a Tubeless Ready setup. A sub-tread breaker belt directly under the tread provides an additional later of protection from road debris.

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.
