Bontrager Race XXX Lite Carbon Team

Price Paid:  $1500.00 at LBS

Favorite Ride:
Louisville Parks

Bike Setup:
Trek Madone SL 5.2 with Ultegra drivetrain. I upgraded the race lite handlebars to Race X Lite for carbon bars. The wheels, frame and bars make for a fast and smooth ride, with efficient power transfer.

Summary:
I replaced the Bontrager Race Lite set that was stock on my Madone SL 5.2. I wanted better wheels first, and these wheels make a difference. Speed at all facets of riding increased, especially acceleration and climbing. The bike sails easily on level road. I got the wheelset on sale and purchased the Bontrager set instead of Mavic ES.

Strengths:
Fast and light, and with the red spokes, the wheels look great.

Weaknesses:
Expensive and I worry about road hazards.
