Bontrager R3 Hard-Case Lite TLR Road Tire 700C x 32mm - Black
The Bontrager R3 Hard-Case Lite TLR is a road tire designed to combine speed, traction, durability and puncture protection. Built to perform both on everyday rides and during race days, the R3 delivers a smooth and responsive ride while providing the durability needed to cover plenty of miles.
⚡ Maximum Efficiency
The proprietary TR-Speed compound has been developed to provide low rolling resistance and a fast, responsive feel on the road. The tread design is optimised to promote smooth rolling while maintaining a good level of traction.
🛡️ Hard-Case Lite Protection
Hard-Case Lite technology incorporates a Nylon105 protective layer designed to increase puncture resistance while keeping weight under control.
The protection works together with sealant in a tubeless setup to help seal small punctures before the tire loses significant air pressure.
🛞 Tubeless Ready
The Tubeless Ready (TLR) design is engineered to make tubeless setup easier and allow riders to benefit from increased puncture protection, traction and comfort.
For a complete tubeless system, Bontrager recommends using the tire with compatible sealant, rim tape and Bontrager TLR wheels.
🏁 Speed, Traction and Durability
The updated tread design, casing and TR-Speed compound work together to create a balanced combination of speed, grip and durability.
The tread profile is designed to provide good traction and confident cornering while maintaining low rolling resistance on straighter sections.
🚴 More Miles
The combination of compound, casing and tread design contributes to long-lasting performance, helping the tire maintain its riding characteristics for longer.
📏 700C x 32mm Size
The 700C x 32mm size offers an interesting balance of speed, traction and comfort. The wider profile compared with narrower road tire sizes also provides a stable contact patch and confident cornering.
