The Bontrager R3 Hard-Case Lite 700c Road Tyre is designed for performance-minded road cyclists who demand a balance of speed, grip, and puncture resistance. Featuring the proprietary TR-Speed compound and an updated Hard-Case Lite puncture protection system, this tyre excels on both race days and demanding daily training rides. While it offers superior traction and a smooth ride feel, riders should note that it is a clincher tyre, meaning it requires a traditional inner tube setup rather than a tubeless configuration.

No, the Bontrager R3 Hard-Case Lite is a traditional clincher tyre designed for use with inner tubes.
The TR-Speed compound is formulated to provide faster rolling performance while simultaneously increasing traction and cornering confidence.
Yes, the tyre is built to be durable enough for daily road training while retaining the performance characteristics needed for racing.
The Nylon105 breaker belt is a lightweight puncture protection layer that helps prevent flats from sharp debris without adding excessive weight or stiffness.
The R3 Hard-Case Lite series is available in several sizes, including 23mm, 25mm, and 28mm widths for 700c wheels.
Ensure the tyre bead is positioned in the deepest center channel of the rim while working the final section over the sidewall.
Check your tyre pressure before every ride to ensure it is within the manufacturer's recommended PSI range, and inspect the rim tape for damage.
To install the Bontrager R3, ensure your rim tape is properly seated to protect the inner tube. Use a standard tyre lever if necessary, being careful not to pinch the tube against the rim bead. Maintain the recommended pressure indicated on the tyre sidewall for the best balance of speed and comfort. For care, regularly inspect the rubber for embedded glass or grit that could work its way through to the casing. Always ensure your wheels are cleaned periodically to prevent road grime from degrading the rubber compound over time. Keep the tyres stored away from direct sunlight and ozone sources to prolong the life of the rubber.
