Bontrager Aura 5 TLR Front Clincher Wheel 2016
Riding fast is not just reserved for £1000+ wheels. The new Bontrager Aura 5 TLR Front Clincher Wheel 2016 offers supreme levels of aerodynamics. This wheel's unique ACC construction combines lightweight and durable aluminium with carbon fibre to create a wind-cheating profile that maintains stiffness.
The new Aura 5 TLR is such a tremendous value it's almost in a class by itself. While it shares a similar weight with other competitors, the Aura leaves them for dead when it comes to aerodynamics: Its 50mm rim, with D3-inspired shaping, saves an average of 19 seconds per hour compared to rival wheels.
Along with the rim's superior stiffness the 23 millimetre wide rim profile improves cornering stability whilst also allowing for a more aerodynamic profile.
The TLR rim system means that this wheel is ready for a quick transition to a tubeless setup and the included TLR rim strip and TLR valve stem means that setup is a quick and easy process, with the conversion kit (sold separately).
With its unique ACC construction the Aura 5 also has a strong and reliable alloy braking surface with a wear mark indicator.
