Bontrager expands its road tire lineup with two all-new “all road” options, plus more affordable versions of their Aeolus race tires. The new Kwaremont and Hard-Case Max Pro are aimed at the all conditions, all-weather riders who need more protection and tire volume without giving up good performance. Here’s what you need to know…
Bontrager Kwaremont
The new Kwaremont road tire is their take on a modern, wide, do-it-all tire for riders who still like to go fast, but maybe venture onto rougher roads and hardpack gravel. It has a smooth, fast-rolling center tread with a herringbone shoulder tread for cornering traction.
They’re available in 32/35/38mm widths and come in RSL, Pro, and Comp (32mm only) levels. MSRP from $29.99 to $99.99. The RSL 700×32 is 345g (claimed), which is the only size/model they list a weight for.
Bontrager Hard-Case Max Pro
Hard-Case Max Pro replaces the brand’s All-Weather tire family as a more durable, tubeless-ready option designed to handle the worst of anything you’re likely to ride on a non-gravel drop bar bike. Think, commuting, and you can’t be late because you got a flat, or you just don’t want to have to think about your tires… or replace them very often.
They have bead-to-bead puncture protection, with an additional puncture strip under the tread. Armorskin sidewall construction, a dense 60 TPI casing, and tubeless-ready construction add even more protection.
The rubber is long-wearing for high mileage, and large sipes on the center and sides help move water out from under them. MSRP is $64.99, available in 26/28/32/35mm widths. No weights listed.
Bontrager Aeolus
Bontrager also expands its Aeolus road tire lineup with new Pro and Elite construction options, giving riders more approachable ways to access race-proven performance. These new trims bring Aeolus speed and efficiency to a broader range of budgets while maintaining the fast, confident ride feel the lineup is known for.
The Elite comes in 23/26/28mm widths, and the Pro gets a bit wider with 28/30/32mm options. Prices now start at just $39.99 (Elite) and $64.99 (Pro). No weights listed. The RSL remains $99.99.
