The Bontrager Brevard RSL SE TLR MTB Tyre is designed for riders who tackle rocky and root-filled trails and demand robust protection. Its key benefit is superior durability and puncture resistance, allowing for aggressive riding with confidence. A potential caveat is that the focus on protection might slightly impact the absolute lightest weight for pure XC racers. This tyre offers a versatile tread pattern for mixed conditions, coupled with advanced construction for resilience against trail hazards.

This tyre is ideal for all-around trail riding, including aggressive descents, rocky and root-filled terrain, and general singletrack use where durability and puncture protection are important.
RSL SE Construction includes multiple layers of puncture protection, specifically sidewall, bead-to-bead, and apex protection, in addition to a durable 60 TPI casing. This offers superior defense against cuts and pinch flats compared to standard casings.
Yes, while designed as Tubeless Ready (TLR), it can be used with an inner tube if preferred. However, you will miss out on the benefits of tubeless, such as lower pressures and enhanced puncture resistance.
The Trail Triple-Compound uses three different rubber densities: a firm base compound for rolling efficiency, a medium center tread for climbing and braking traction, and soft side knobs for maximum grip during cornering.
You will need tubeless-ready rims, rim tape, tubeless valves, and tubeless sealant. Clean the rim, apply tape, install valves, mount the tyre, add sealant through the valve, and inflate to seat the bead. Refer to your rim manufacturer's instructions for specific details.
Recommended tire pressure varies based on rider weight, rim width, and trail conditions. Consult the tyre sidewall for a general range and experiment to find the optimal pressure for your setup, balancing grip, rolling resistance, and protection.
Ensure rim tape is properly applied and the rim bed is clean. Use soapy water on the tyre bead to help it slide into place. Inflate rapidly using a compressor or a high-volume floor pump.
Check for small punctures that the sealant may have missed. Rotate the wheel to distribute sealant. Add more sealant if necessary. Inspect the valve stem and rim tape for leaks.
This can be normal with aggressive riding and the soft shoulder compound. Ensure proper tire pressure is maintained to avoid excessive wear on the edges.
Check tire pressure; running too low can increase rolling resistance. Ensure the tire is clean and free of mud or debris that could impede rolling.
Setup: This tyre is Tubeless Ready (TLR). Ensure you have compatible tubeless rims, rim tape, valves, and sealant. Follow standard tubeless installation procedures for your wheelset. The 60 TPI casing facilitates easier inflation and seating of the bead.
Compatibility: Designed for 29-inch wheel mountain bikes. Verify compatibility with your rim's internal width for optimal tire profile and performance. Check frame and fork clearance for tire width.
Care: Regularly inspect the tyre for cuts, abrasions, or embedded objects. Clean the tyre with water and a mild soap solution. Avoid using harsh solvents. Monitor sealant levels periodically, especially if running tubeless.
