Today, Bontrager unveiled all-new versions of its popular Line Pro 30 and Line Elite 30 carbon mountain bike wheels. What has Bontrager really excited is that these new wheels have nearly twice the impact strength of previous Line models. Like all Bontrager carbon wheels, the new Line models are backed by Carbon Care and warrantied, but do they need it?
Meet the new Line 30
The Line Pro 30 rolls in at $1300 and boasts the lightest rim in the Line family. The Pro 30s roll on a proprietary Bontrager Rapid Drive straight pull hub with an impressive 108 points of engagement.
Line Elite 30 is the workhorse of the lot and comes in at $900 for the set. The Elite delivers the same strength and durability as the Pro, just with a few more grams in the rim and a J-Bend hub.
Sizing and Availability
Both Line Pro 30 and Line Elite 30 are available in 27.5 and 29er options. Each model in the new line-up features a unique rim design with a shallower 27 mm wheel depth that looks to increase vertical compliance for a smoother ride and a planted, confident feel that isn’t overly harsh on the trail.
