Product Description
The Bontrager Kovee Elite 30 TLR is a lightweight carbon XC and trail wheel designed to deliver quicker acceleration, responsive handling, and improved tire support without giving up durability.
The OCLV Carbon rim uses a modern 29mm internal width with a shallow 22mm profile for a compliant ride feel and strong support for higher-volume mountain bike tires. Wider bead hooks add durability and help protect against pinch-flat damage, while the Rapid Drive XC rear hub platform provides the foundation for fast engagement with the appropriate freehub body.
This listing is for the 29-inch Boost 148 rear wheel only and does not include a freehub body. The correct freehub must be purchased separately based on your drivetrain.
