The ‘new wind tunnel-proven’ Bontrager Aeolus D3 wheel line features a unique rim shape that reduces drag at both the front tire-leading edge and rear rim-leading edge of the wheel. According to Bontrager, this allows the D3’s exclusive rim profile to be ‘more aero than any other wheel before it’ and provide better handling than wheels with deeper rim profiles.
Bontrager claims that the Aeolus D3 wheel ‘not only makes you faster, it gives you more control in a crosswind.’
Pro cyclist Fabian Cancellara has switched to the new wheels stating that the Aeolus D3s are “Stiff, light, aerodynamic – I’m very happy with a wheel that can be all three at the same time. Aeolus D3 is all these things, with no compromise. This is why I prefer this wheel to any other.”
Aeolus D3 is available in nine colours ‘to coordinate or clash with your bike, you choose.’
