Surely it can’t be… oh, but yes, it is! It’s the end of another work week, which means that it’s time to show you the latest test gear to arrive at BikeRadar’s US office in Boulder, Colorado. Feast your eyes on the goodness while you make your plans for the weekend. And now if you’ll excuse us, we’re going to go for a ride.
New road bike gear
Bontrager is making sure its Aeolus aero wheel line is keeping up with the times, recently adding tubeless, thru-axle, and disc brake compatibility to several of its premier models – and increasing rim widths, too. Our Aeolus 5 TLR Disc D3 test wheels certainly tick all the boxes with a generous 19.5mm internal width, a versatile 50mm depth with a blunted shape for crosswind stability, convertible hubs with interchangeable end caps, and a CenterLock interface that accepts Shimano’s fantastic 140mm Ice-Tech disc brake rotors.

Actual weight for our set is 1,555g – almost exactly inline with the 1,558g claimed figure, although that doesn’t include the 97g of additional rim strips and valve stems required for tubeless use (or the 138g for the included quick-release skewers).
We’ve earmarked these for a rather special upcoming project here on BikeRadar so stay tuned for the full reveal in a few weeks.
