Keith Bontrager
began building road wheels with a firm belief that each wheel must be designed
according to its specific function. Front wheels must be light and aerodynamic,
and demand a taller rim profile with fewer spokes. Rear wheels must be laterally
stiff, and since they're hidden from the wind, benefit from a stouter rim
extrusion with an offset spoke bed. Does this approach require more time and
effort? Of course. But it has also helped us create the best high-performance
wheelsystems on the road.

Race X-Lite Carbon
At the 2002 US Pro Road Racing Championships, 3 of the top 5 finishers
were on Race X Lite Carbons. Road Racers and triathletes alike appreciate
their tall, low-spoke-count design, which has been wind tunnel proven to
have outstanding aerodynamics.
 | Rims are a very slippery 44mm tall and made using Tour de France tested,
OCLV technology 16 hole front and rear, utilizing PST and 26mm spacing results in the
lightest possible rim design; special glass embedded braking surface for added durability |
| Dura-Ace carbon brake pads are recommended and included |
| Hubs are Swiss made, fully serviceable, triple sealed, cartridge bearing
design; system uses aluminum axles and a star ratchet system in the rear |
| Torque sharing, oversized, rear hub shell more effectively transfers
torque to left side resulting in less wind up and a longer lasting wheel |
| Spokes are butted and bladed stainless steel, as light as a DT
Revolution, but 20% stronger; J-bend type spoke design allows for replacement with any
standard 14g spoke in a pinch |
| Bontrager Race X-Lite titanium skewers included. |

Race X-Lite
The Race X Lites feature an excellent combination of
aerodynamics, stiffness, and an even lighter weight for 2003. The new X
Lites undergo a machining process that removes weight from the spoke beds,
while the unique Radial Ridge™ maintains radial rigidity and fatigue
life. These wheels are designed to endure the rigors and special demands
of the pro peloton.
| Rims are welded for superior strength and machined for smooth braking
– 20 hole, 23mm semi-aero front rim provides excellent aerodynamics (especially with
23c tire), while the 24 hole, 21mm rear rim with OSB improves lateral rigidity and
prolongs wheel life |
| Hubs are Swiss made, fully serviceable, triple sealed, cartridge bearing
design; system uses aluminum axles and a star ratchet system in the rear; torque sharing,
oversized, rear hub more effectively transfers torque to left side reducing wind-up and
makes for a longer lasting wheel |
| Aluminum freehub body reduces weight and should be used with aluminum
bodied cassettes |
| Spokes are butted and bladed stainless steel, as light as a DT
Revolution, but 20% stronger – J-bend type spoke design allows for replacement with
any standard 14g spoke in a pinch. |
| Bontrager Race X-Lite Road titanium skewers included. |

Race X-Lite Aero
New for 2003, this aerodynamic wheel has proven to be a real performer.
Fast. Strong. Stiff. All the features of the X Lite Carbon — with an
aluminum rim. Race X Lite Aero is destined to be our most popular wheel
for triathletes and road racers alike.
| Rims are made of 6061 T6
aluminum alloy, a slippery 30mm tall, welded for strength, and CNC
machined for a smooth braking surface
| Same hubs as used on our Race X
Lite Carbon wheelset. Swiss-made, fully serviceable, triple sealed,
cartridge-bearing design; torque sharing, oversized, rear hub shell
more effectively transfers torque to left side
| Spokes are 14G bladed stainless
steel. Steel provides the best ride, strength, weight, and ease of
serviceability. J-bend type spoke design allows for replacement with
any standard 14G spoke in a pinch
| Bontrager Ti skewers included |

Race X Lite
TT
The wheelset to have when racing against the clock. This new
ultra-high-performance wheelset was designed specifically for time
trials and triathlons. The Race X Lite TT carbon disc rear is incredibly
light, incredibly aerodynamic, and built to exacting tolerances to be
round and true.
| Front wheel is super-fast pro
race proven Race X Lite Carbon
| Rear disc wheel is Shimano
compatible but can be modified to accept Campagnolo 10.
| Swiss-made cartridge-bearing
hubs
| Bontrager brake pads and
titanium skewers included. |
| | |
|
 |
Race Lite
Brethren to the Race X Lite, this wheelset is slightly stiffer and a bit
heavier due to the straight gauge bladed spokes and steel axle rear hub.
Every bit as aerodynamic, this wheel is an all-around solid performer for
both the pro racer and the weekend warrior.
| Rims are welded for superior strength and machined for smooth braking
– 20 hole, 23mm semi-aero front rim provides excellent aerodynamics (especially with
23c tire), while the 24 hole, 21mm rear rim with OSB improves lateral rigidity and
prolongs wheel life |
| Rear hub is Swiss made, fully serviceable, with a combination of
cartridge and needle bearings; torque sharing design improves wheel stiffness and wheel
life, while steel freehub body will not get marred up with use |
| Front hub has large cartridge bearings and an oversized aluminum axle |
| Spokes are 14G bladed stainless steel; J-bend type allows for replacement
with any standard 14G spoke in a pinch |
| Bontrager Race Lite Road Cro-moly skewers included. |
|

Race Lite Power-Tap
Power output, heart rate, and speed. All the pieces to take your
performance to another level. Bontrager has teamed with CycleOps to
develop a training aid that combines all the information and feedback of
the Power-Tap system with a high-performance wheelset.
| Rear wheel is similar to the
Race X Lite Aero wheel, using a 30mm tall aero rim built with 16
bladed spokes
| The hub is Shimano compatible
with hub shell specifically designed by Bontrager
| Hardware for Power-Tap and
training video included; Power-Tap link sold separately
| Race X Lite Aero front wheel
included |

Select
This budget-priced wheel has all the design features of the other
Bontrager road wheels. Paired Spoke Technology, Offset Spoke Bed rim, and
torque sharing super-stiff rear hub design. Durable and fast, Select is
perfect for anyone looking for some additional performance or as a
replacement for tired old wheels.
| Rims are welded for superior strength and machined for smooth braking;
semi-aero front rim provides excellent aerodynamics, while rear rim with OSB improves
lateral rigidity, prolongs wheel life – this wheel is extremely comfortable for those
long century rides |
| Hubset utilizes forged shell with hardened, ground and polished cones and
races, and Cro-moly axles; hubs are fully serviceable and replacement parts are available
at your local Bontrager dealer |
| Spokes are 14/15G butted stainless steel with brass locking nipples;
J-bend type allows for replacement with any standard 14G spoke in a pinch |
| Bontrager Race Lite Road Cro-moly skewers included |
