Bontrager AW3 – The Ultimate Winter Road Tyre?

Is the Bontrager AW3 – The Ultimate Winter Road Tyre? Bontrager has released a new version of their AW3, All-Weather 3, road tyres. This updated Tyre has a 78% improvement in puncture protection. In independent tests, Bontrager claims the AW3 outperforms well-known winter tyres. Including Specialized Armadillo tyres and Continental Gatorskins to give a best-in-class performance.

There are a couple of versions of the AW3. The Hard-Case tyre aims for ultimate puncture protection. With extra strength in the sidewalls, making them ideal for commuters. The Hard-Case Lite version aims to balance puncture protection with performance. Making it a better option for road riders who want to go fast on their winter training rides. All versions of the new AW3 are available in 700 x 25, x 28, x 32 or x 38. Reflecting the current trend for wider tyres on road bikes.

The AW3 also features the all-new TR-Endure compound. The TR-Endure compound gives longer-lasting performance through an updated tread pattern. A pattern that delivers confident traction in any weather. Simply put, the AW3 is ready to handle anything and everything a road throws at it. Even on wet and dirty UK country lanes.

AW3 is now your go-to all-weather performance that prioritises puncture protection. AW3 is replacing both the AW2 and the prior AW3. The all-new AW3 is available in both Hard-Case and Hard-Case Lite options.
