The ultra-light Aeolus RSL 51 is the perfect upgrade for those seeking more speed. Created through a 3D model design process, the new Aeolus RSL delivers a radical change in speed without sacrificing stability. Made from ultra-light OCLV RSL carbon, it is shaped around the new 51mm rim profile for unmatched speed and versatility in any condition. The Tubeless Ready rims with a wider 23mm internal channel allow for smoother rolling and reduced acceleration resistance, while the ultralight DT Swiss 240s internal mechanism hubs and 36-point Ratchet EXP freehub body ensure maximum smoothness.

All Bontrager carbon wheels come with a lifetime warranty for the original owner and are covered by additional Carbon Care protection. If the wheels suffer structural damage during use within two years of purchase, we will replace them free of charge. It doesn’t get easier than that!

Specifications:

Aeolus RSL wheels offer a new dimension in speed. Thanks to the 3D models used during the iterative design process, we were able to more accurately assess the effects of every gram of drag, in every direction, across any plane and in all elements of the wheel-tire system. But we didn’t stop there. We also optimized rolling resistance by choosing the internal rim width (23mm) that proved to be the fastest.
