Our Verdict

Compare to similar products, our analysis and test results.

Bontrager is the house brand of cycling industry giant, Trek Bicycles. They make just about every part and accessory you can imagine and that includes an extensive selection of wheels. The Line Pro 30 is their affordable carbon option which they have aimed squarely at the trail and enduro market. These wheels have all the makings of a quality wheelset, so our testers put them through the wringer to see how they compare to the competition.

Performance Comparison

Product Specifications

The Line Pro 30 wheelset features an OCLV Pro Carbon rim. These lightweight carbon hoops have a 29mm internal rim width and a 36mm external width measurement. Unlike many other carbon rims on the market, the Line Pro has a hooked bead and a symmetrical zero-offset design. The rims come with a TLR (tubeless ready) rim strip installed as well as a TLR tubeless valve stem. The rim strip is specific to the Line Pro rims and is made to perfectly fill in the groove on the inside of the rim. The Bontrager logo graphics are painted on and covered with a clear coat, so there are no decals to scratch or peel.

The rims are laced to Bontrager's nicely manufactured house brand hubs with 28 straight-pull DT Swiss Aerolite bladed spokes with Alpina alloy nipples. The spokes are arranged in a three cross pattern. Inside the rear hub is Bontrager's Rapid Drive 108 freehub system. Six pawls pair with a 108-tooth drive ring to create an impressive 3.3-degrees between engagement points. The Line Pro 30 wheels are currently only sold with a Shimano HG freehub body, although a SRAM XD driver is available as an aftermarket purchase. The hubs have a six-bolt brake rotor mount and are available with Boost axle spacing only.

Ride Quality

The ride quality of the Line Pro 30 wheels is quite good but is defined a little by their stiffness. These are among the stiffest wheels we've tested and that gives them a very precise steering feel and responsive handling. That same stiffness has the adverse effect of making them feel a little bit harsh and less damped than some of the competition with more balanced ride qualities. We wouldn't say they are too harsh, but notably less comfortable than the more compliant ride qualities of our top-rated models.

The Line Pro 30 wheels roll fast and feel quick and responsive, but the stiffer nature of them made them somewhat more prone to deflection. Our testers couldn't pinpoint exactly what gave these wheels the stiffer feel, though we assume it is due to the shape and profile of the carbon rim. The Bontrager rims have a deeper rim profile when compared to shallower rim designs like the Ibis S35 , for example, which have a more forgiving and compliant ride quality. While the rims certainly feel robust and we appreciate some stiffness, a little more lateral compliance would have been welcomed by our testers. We can't however, complain about the freehub engagement, which at 3.3-degrees is very quick and helps to give these wheels, and the entire bike for that matter, a higher performance feel.

Bontrager has optimized their wheels to work best with Bontrager tires and in our testing, we found that mounting and seating those tires was quick and easy. Mounting tires from other brands, like the Maxxis DHF/DHR II combo, is another story entirely. These wheels proved to be some of the most difficult to get tires onto the rims of any wheels we've ever tested. Not a deal-breaker, but something to consider if you wear out tires quickly or change tires regularly.

Freehub Engagement

Bontrager wasn't messing around when they designed their Rapid Drive 108 freehub system. The freehub is housed inside of an exquisitely machined Bontrager branded hub. The freehub employs six pawls paired with a 108-tooth drive ring that provides a quick 3.3 degrees between engagement points. This isn't the fastest engagement we've ever experienced, but it is quite impressive and helps to give these wheels their quick and responsive feel. Sure, there are faster-engaging hubs on the market, but there is very little lag or dead space in the pedal stroke, and the response is almost immediate when you want to lay down the power out of a corner or when jockeying the pedals through a technical section of trail.

The 3.3-degree engagement of the Line Pro 30 wheels is among the best we've ever tested. This is just a mere 0.3-degrees less than the Editor's Choice Award winning Race Face Next R31 , and better than almost every other model in this review. Only the Industry Nine Enduro S Hydra wheels have faster engagement with a class-leading 0.52-degrees.

This is cycling, so all other things being equal, lighter is usually considered better. Wheels are one place where shaving some grams can really make a big difference, as the rotational weight of the wheel affects acceleration. In this regard, the Line Pro 30 is very impressive considering they are the lightest wheel we tested with a measured weight of 1,713 grams. This is very lightweight for a 29-inch wheelset with boost spacing and a 29mm internal rim width. These wheels will likely lighten up the overall weight of just about anyone's trail bike, and our testers noted that they felt the difference out on the trail. These wheels were quick to accelerate and the reduced weight helped to take the sting out of long climbs.

Throughout the course of our testing, we experienced no issues with the durability of the Line Pro 30 wheels. Our testers took it to them over several hundred miles of riding with questionable line choices and numerous rim outs. The rims were checked after each ride and we have nothing to report other than a slight loss of spoke tension on the rear wheel after the first few rides. It isn't uncommon to need to re-tension some spokes on new wheels after a few rides, so we didn't consider this to be a problem. We've read user reviews online complaining of issues with the rims cracking, but after our abusive testing, we can't report the same. We haven't put a full season's worth of riding on them or anything, but our test wheels show little signs of wear other than a few cosmetic scratches on the rims. Bontrager also backs the Line Pro wheels with a 2-year no-fault guarantee for added peace of mind.

We feel that the Line Pro 30 represents a pretty solid value for a carbon wheelset at a retail price of $1,300. Most carbon wheelsets cost at least a couple hundred dollars more than that, and at that price, you get a stiff, precise, and lightweight option with great freehub engagement. The one caveat we have about the value of these wheels is that if you use a SRAM Eagle drivetrain you will need to purchase a SRAM XD freehub body for an additional $100 to make it compatible. That drives the price up to $1,400, which is still less expensive than most other carbon models. These wheels would be a better value to more users if Bontrager gave you the option to choose between the Shimano and SRAM freehub bodies.

The Line Pro 30 are a quality set of carbon wheels for trail riders. While they didn't take home any awards in our test we would still recommend them to anyone seeking a lightweight, stiff, and relatively affordable carbon wheelset. These wheels appear to be very well made and our testers experienced no durability issues, plus they come with a 2-year no-fault guarantee.

Other Versions and Accessories

Bontrager makes the Line Pro 30 TLR wheels in both 27.5" and 29" wheel sizes. In addition to the Line Pro 30, they also make a Line Pro 40 which has a 41mm internal rim width that is intended for use with plus-sized tires.

All-new Bontrager Line 30 Wheels

You'll never miss every rock

Bontrager’s all-new Line wheels are the strongest carbon wheels we’ve ever tested—of any brand. And thanks to an all-new rim design, they also help prevent pinch flats. We know there are surprises on every trail, but Line wheels are built to stand up to the rigors of the trail and keep you rolling whatever comes your way.

After setting all-time records on our impact test, we decided to build an all-new testing device with a menacing guillotine impact anvil to better recreate a worst-case rock strike. Our all-new impact anvil delivers blows more similar to rock strikes as they happen in real life. Trail riders will never see every rock—but by better understanding the forces at play in a rock strike, we’re able to design and build stronger rims and a better product. The result is an all-new rim design, and our strongest, most durable OCLV Carbon mountain bike wheels yet.

See what Cam has to say

The 4.6mm hook wall thickness increases strength and durability, while the shallower 27mm depth increases vertical compliance and helps better absorb impacts.

Bontrager’s all-new Line wheels are the strongest carbon wheels we’ve ever tested—of any brand. Line wheels are built to stand up to the rigors of the trail and keep you rolling, whatever comes your way.

The wider hook bead offers a 300% larger outside hook radius, which means more surface area in contact on a sharp impact to help prevent pinch flats.

Line rims are built from proven OCLV Pro Carbon for an optimized blend of weight, strength, and durability.

Each model features Rapid Drive 108 hubs, which have 108 points of engagement for quick accelerations and confident pedaling through even the most demanding terrain.

Every set of Bontrager carbon wheels is backed by the Carbon Care Wheel Loyalty Program. In the unlikely event that you damage your Bontrager carbon wheels within the first two years of ownership, we’ll repair or replace them for free.

Ewan mcgregor's historical drama weirdly copies his 2022 star wars show.

The Star Wars Timeline Explained: All 9 Eras

Ewan mcgregor's new show with 90% on rotten tomatoes delivers the star wars team-up disney never could, a gentleman in moscow episode 7 recap: 8 biggest reveals.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for the plot of A Gentleman in Moscow .

• Both A Gentleman in Moscow and Obi-Wan Kenobi involve McGregor's characters caring for young women in challenging circumstances.
• McGregor's roles in both projects share a common background of being among the few survivors of major shifts in power and history.
• The narrative parallels between Alexander Rostov and Obi-Wan Kenobi become more apparent as their stories unfold in each respective project.

A Gentleman in Moscow is Ewan McGregor's first TV show since his 2022 Star Wars spinoff, and the characters he plays in each respective project have eerily similar experiences. As the leader of the cast of A Gentleman in Moscow , McGregor plays a Russian ex-bureaucrat called Alexander Rostov, sentenced to life imprisonment within the walls of Moscow's Metropol Hotel . In S tar Wars , McGregor took over the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi from Alec Guinness when the prequel trilogy began in 1999. On the surface, Alexander and Obi-Wan seem nothing alike, but as A Gentleman in Moscow progresses, the similarities become apparent.

A Gentleman in Moscow is a historical drama set around the time of Russia's Bolshevik Revolution , and Star Wars is an epic space opera that blends science-fiction and fantasy. As such, it's difficult to compare the two stories. That being said, there are a few facets that connect the two that go beyond Ewan McGregor's presence in each of them. However, McGregor starring in both does highlight the narrative parallels a great deal.

From the Dawn of the Jedi in ancient times to the founding of the New Jedi Order, the Star Wars canon timeline has a rich history across nine eras.

A Gentleman In Moscow Mirrors Obi-Wan Kenobi Caring For His Late Friend's Daughter

Alexander rostov becomes a makeshift father figure.

2022's Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show sees Ewan McGregor reprise the role of the titular Jedi for the first time since 2005's Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith . The story is built upon Kenobi rescuing and caring for a young Princess Leia Organa - the daughter of his late apprentice and friend, Anakin Skywalker. In A Gentleman in Moscow , Alexander befriends a young girl called Nina Kulikova during his unconventional incarceration, and she grows up and has a daughter of her own, called Sofia. Nina flees the country a few years later, leaving Sofia in Alexander's care.

In Obi-Wan Kenobi , McGregor's character only believes his old friend to be dead, but later discovers that Anakin lives on in the form of Darth Vader.

It's later revealed to the audience that Nina dies in Siberia , which only enhances the comparison of the guardian roles of Alexander and Obi-Wan. What is arguably the main difference is that Alexander, sadly and inarguably, outlives Nina. In Obi-Wan Kenobi , McGregor's character only believes his old friend to be dead, but later discovers that Anakin lives on in the form of Darth Vader. However, as confirmed by Vader in the Obi-Wan Kenobi finale , the masked villain also considers the persona of Anakin Skywalker to be gone.

A Gentleman in Moscow is based on a 2016 novel of the same name by Amor Towles.

Alexander Rostov Is Similar To Obi-Wan Kenobi In Another Way

Both mcgregor characters have the same background.

Alexander Rostov's connection to Obi-Wan Kenobi exceeds their shared role of generational caretaker. Alexander's imprisonment is due to being a member of Russia's defunct ruling class, with many of his peers having already been executed for the same crime as a result of the nation's violent political shift. As such, Alexander is one of only a few surviving members of the Russian bureaucracy .

Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of Ewan McGregor's most famous characters, so it makes the connection to one of his new castmates hard to ignore.

Obi-Wan's story is very similar, as at the time of his 2022 Star Wars spinoff show, Master Kenobi is one of only a handful of remaining Jedi throughout the galaxy , with almost all of his kind slaughtered due to Order 66 a decade earlier. So, A Gentleman in Moscow 's Alexander Rostov and Ewan McGregor's Star Wars character become even more closely related when their backgrounds are taken into account.

A Gentleman in Moscow

Based on the novel by Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow is a historical dramatic-thriller created by Ben Vanstone for Paramount+ and Showtime. Following the advent of the Russian Revolution, Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov is forced to spend several decades locked away in a hotel room and watch as the country around him transforms.
