Faster, Longer Lasting, and Fewer Flats

The all-new R3 is one tire that can do it all. Fast enough for race day, yet durable enough for every day, the R3 is your go to road tire for great ride feel and lasting performance. Rethinking our research and design resulted in new proprietary compounds and technologies for a do-it-all road tire that rolls faster, lasts longer, and better protects against flats.

A better road tubeless experience

Bontrager R3 TLR tires are the perfect blend of convenience, added performance, and lasting durability—ushering in the next generation of road tubeless tires.

Learn more

Easier to install

Easier installation means less time fussing with setup and more time riding. Because every Bontrager TLR product is designed and tested as a complete system, everything works better together from the start.

Hard to flat

R3’s improved Hard-Case Lite protection prevents punctures, and TLR Sealant can actually seal punctures before they become flats. When they’re part of your tubeless setup, you’ll enjoy more miles and fewer flats.

Faster rolling

Bontrager's proprietary TR Speed Compound rolls faster. We went back to the drawing board and totally reworked our rubber compound to deliver a tire that is faster in the lab and faster on the road.

More miles

The updated tread design, casing construction, and all-new TR-Speed Compound deliver the perfect blend of speed, traction, and tread life. Detailed testing shows significant improvement in wear rate so you can get that new tire feel for longer—lots longer.

Added traction

The R3's lightly treaded casing adds traction and cornering confidence. As the tire size increases the traction becomes more pronounced, perfect for aligning tire size with intended use.

Better together

Bontrager offers a complete tubeless system including wheels, tires, sealant, valves, and rim strips. Every part of this setup is designed to work smoothly together, for the best in performance and ease of use.

30-Day Unconditional Guarantee

If for any reason you're not satisfied with a Bontrager or Trek aftermarket purchase, return the item, along with the original sales receipt to the original place of purchase within 30 days for an exchange or refund. Think of it as a 30-day test ride.
