AW3 road tires

More fun, fewer punctures

Bontrager’s all-new AW3 delivers best-in-class defense against flats. These performance road tires have 78% better puncture protection than their predecessors, a long-lasting tread, and the right traction for fast, confident rides on any road in any season.

AW3 can prevent catastrophic punctures from glass, nails, tacks, rocks, gravel, potholes, and other ride-ending road debris.

The performance road tire with nine lives

Whatever you put them through, they’re likely to land on their feet—and that’s exactly the kind of purr-formance and purr-tection you should expect from the only tires approved by Bontrager’s No Flat Cat.

We put AW3 Hard-Case Lite through exhaustive testing, working with Wheel Energy (the industry benchmark for third-party tire-testing) to independently validate the puncture protection improvements in the all-new AW3 family.

The results speak for themselves: the new AW3 Hard-Case Lite outperforms its predecessor by 78% and rolls with the market’s most popular best-in-class tires.

Two levels of protection

Choose the lively feel of the Hard-Case Lite or the extra durability of Hard-Case puncture protection. Both rely on an improved subtread layer consisting of an aramid/nylon weave that gives the best of both materials, best-in-class puncture protection from aramid and a great road feel from the nylon.

Tires that last

AW3 tires are made with TR-Endure, a proprietary long-life rubber compound that’s durable and fast-rolling on any road surface.

Confident traction

AW3’s lightly treaded design gives you extra traction and cornering confidence on fast road rides and commutes.
