Bontrager Kovee Elite 30 Carbon TLR Boost MTB Wheels

The Bontrager Kovee Elite 30 mtb wheels are light and stable due to their wide carbon rims. They’re suited for 29mm tyres starting at 2.3 inch. Its volume allows you to ride with lower tyre pressure, which improves traction, rolling resistance and stability. This makes Bontrager Kovee Elite 30 mtb wheels very suited for trail and enduro riding.

Weight as measured by Mantel.com:
Front wheel: 890 grams; rear wheel: 993 grams; set: 1883 grams (including rim strips and tubeless valves)

Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty Programme
Bontrager knows like no other that buying a new carbon wheelset or a new bike with carbon wheels is no small investment. That’s why Trek/Bontrager set up the Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty programme. This shows Bontrager’s complete and utter confidence in its products and their quality.

When do I qualify for the Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty programme?
You’ll automatically qualify for this programme after becoming the first owner of a Bontrager full carbon wheel and when you bought this after November 1, 2018 in our webshop or one of our brick-and-mortar stores. This also holds true for Bontrager full carbon wheels, which some Trek bicycles come with.
Note:This programme doesn’t include aluminium wheels with carbon rim construction, such as the Aura and the Aeolus Comp.

What does the Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty programme entail?
If your wheel gets damaged within 2 year after purchase, we’ll look at replacement or repair free of charge (excluding possible shipping costs). This can be damage as a result of crashing, but also by accidentally hitting the sidewalk.

How to submit my Bontrager full carbon wheel for repair or replacement?
You can rely on our stores or our webshop if you have a damaged wheel. As soon as we receive the wheel, we’ll ship it to Trek. Subsequently, Trek will decide what option to go with, depending on the type of wheel and the severity of the damage:
• Repairing the damaged rim (including spokes, decals, nipples where needed) and manufacturer’s rebuilding of the original hubs.
• A complete wheel replacement.

Technology

• OCLV Carbon offers an optimised mix of weight, rigidity and durability.
• Rapid Drive 54 hub instantly transfers effort into forward momentum.
• Tubeless-ready (TLR) rims allow for quick upgrades to tubeless.
• Boost 110/148 wider hub flanges enhance bracing angle for stiffer wheel.
• Ultra-durable OCLV Carbon rim with 30mm internal width.
• 6 bolt disc.

Compatibility

Body type at 12-speed
Some 12 speed cassettes must be mounted on the 10/11 speed Shimano/SRAM body. These are the SRAM NX Eagle PG-1230 cassettes and almost all other 12 speed MTB cassettes with an 11 as smallest tooth. MTB cassettes with a 10 as smallest tooth need a special body. This is for Shimano a Micro-Spline body and for SRAM an XD body.

Delivery includes

Optional 108 Rapid Drive bodies are available with an SRAM XD or Shimano MicroSpline fit. To make these bodies suitable for the Bontrager Kovee Elite 30 wheels, you will also need to purchase the Rapid Drive 108 pawls and springs.
