Bontrager Kwaremont FAQ

What are the benefits of cotton construction on the RSL level tire?

The 320tpi cotton construction is lighter weight and more flexible than a standard nylon casing. A more flexible tire, or in other words a more supple tire, conforms to the road better and in turn is smoother, faster, and grippier.

Do they require any different setup procedure?

You can follow the normal procedure for tubeless setup, however it is worth noting that with cotton constructions you may see a small amount of sealant show around the sidewalls (only upon initial setup). This should only last a few moments, then simply wipe the excess away. You may also experience a larger drop in pressure overnight, but this will normalize after the initial setup.

Is it tubeless compatible? 

Yes! Refer to the sealant chart back on the tire page under the features for the amount you will need.

Is there puncture protection?

Yes, all Kwaremont tires all have a layer of sub-tread puncture protection directly under the center. The Pro version also features additional bead to bead protection.

Can I mount them on a hookless rim?

Yes, however only the RSL model.

What riding surface will this tire perform best on?

Bontrager Kwaremont was designed to be a high performance road tire with added comfort thanks to the wider sizes.
