About the Bontrager Line Elite 30 TLR 27.5" MTB Front Wheel
Bontrager isn't typically one of the first brands that comes to mind when considering an aftermarket wheel purchase, but they are looking to change that with their high-performance carbon model, the Line Elite 30. These wheels are a relatively affordable (for carbon) lightweight wheelset that are stiff, fast-rolling, and have some of the best freehub engagement of all the models tested. Testers were very impressed with the 3.3-degree freehub engagement of Bontrager's Rapid Drive 108 freehub system that gives these wheels a very quick and responsive feel. These are also the lightest wheels we've tested, and a solid option for the trail rider looking to shave some grams. These wheels are stiff and little less forgiving than some of the competition, but riders prioritizing weight savings and value should give the Line Pro serious consideration.
An industry-leading wheel set that makes upgrading to carbon wheels an easy decision. Rapid Drive 108 hubs provide instant engagement, while OCLV Carbon rims add confidence with best-in-class strength and durability. Line Pro 30 wheels crush the competition and are ready to conquer any trail.

About Bontrager
Eighty years before Trek's founders would make Waterloo, Wisconsin, the home of their new venture, the Waterloo Driving Park Association was formed in the town’s southwest corner. Preceding Henry Ford’s introduction of his first car by two years, “driving” held a different meaning — namely, racing horses and bicycles. Here, Waterloo residents gathered around a dirt track to commune, cheer and test themselves against one another in competition. Humans race for fun, for excitement, for the challenge. Competition is intrinsic to our nature. As long as there have been bicycles there has been bicycle racing. 84 years after the first intrepid cyclists battled on that oval of dirt, Trek broke ground on a new headquarters across the street. Today, Trek overlooks that storied land. The track is no longer there, but human nature remains. Racing has always been what we do.
