New Bontrager R3 tires

[ToileySiphon]

Has anyone tried the 2021 version? They supposedly improved them quite a bit and I could see the appeal of going on a "all bontrager" TLR setup to avoid mounting issues that seem to plague som rim and tires combinations.

I was continuing to run them into this season. A few weeks back, I noticed a cut that began on the tread of the rear tire, and it appeared to run into the sidewall, which raised concerns. It wasn't bulging out in any way, but decided to remove the tire just to be safe. Still running the R3 on the front with zero issues. Because I have a tendency to tinker and experiment, I had an interest in a tan sidewall clincher, and am thinking about giving the Veloflex Corsa Evo a shot.

I have them on a couple bikes in various sizes and quite like them. All tlr and no issues to speak of.

I think they improved them for 2021, I was curious if anyone had tied the "new formula". But thanks for the link

It looks like Bicycle Rolling Resistance will be testing them in the next month or two if you can wait.

Looking forward to that!
