Bontrager builds cross country wheels with plenty of reserves

The new Kovee XXX wheel has been completely redesigned by Bontrager and features newly designed rims made from OCLV carbon. Every unnecessary gram has been dispensed with without compromising on ride feel or durability. DT Swiss 240 hubs save weight and impress with fast traction and smooth reliability.

The Kovee XXX is a 1300 g lightweight XC race wheelset at World Cup level, which has plenty of power reserves and is even lighter than most carbon road wheelsets.

The inner rim width of 29 mm offers improved support for the tire flanks and therefore more safety and better cornering grip on the trail. The wider rim gives the wheel-tyre system more volume so that the tire can be ridden at a lower pressure for better traction and more speed and comfort. The lower pressure allows the tire to adapt to and absorb bumps, rocky passages, roots and similar braking obstacles, minimizing vertical deflections and ensuring optimal propulsion.

The Kovee XXX wheel is tubeless-ready and can be set up with the Bontrager TLR rim tape or traditional tubeless rim tape. The Kovee XXX wheels are spoked with DT Swiss 240 hubs and DT Swiss Aerolite bladed spokes, are equipped with 24 spoke holes at the front and rear, are only available in Boost 110/148 installation widths and are compatible with Centerlock disc brakes.

The new wheels are covered by the Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty program, which includes free replacement of damaged wheels for the first two years after purchase.
