Bontrager Aeolus XXX 9?
Quote | Reply
Bontrager has the Aeolus XXX up to a 6, but not a 9. Anyone heard if the 9 is in the future? Curious how they would run up against the HED9, ENVE 7/8, 808's.

I'm curious about this too but it appears Trek has completely given up on a rear wheel that appeals to anyone who time trials... likely for financial reasons.

All of their pro teams use disc wheels but Trek said they will never make a disc wheel. They also used to say, "why make a disc when the 9 is 99% as fast". So who knows?

My assumption is that the 9 was hard to sell since most people who would want one end up buying disc. And no one is putting a 9 on a road bike, the 6 makes more sense there. If you look at it this way, I would think what you see now is what you're going to get.

**And for what its worth... I'm a Trek fanboy being from Madison myself but I would rather put Hed wheels on my bike.
