Tire and rim compatibility

The following chart shows which tires are compatible with
which rims, and any parts that are needed to make the tires
compatible with the rims.

Tubeless Ready tires do not hold air without either an inner

tube or liquid sealant inside the tire. To use a Tubeless Ready
tire in tubeless mode, follow these instructions to install
Bontrager Super Juice sealant. Super Juice is a long-lasting,
quick-acting, glycol-based sealant developed for this purpose.

Standard UST tubeless tires are designed to hold air with-

out sealant, but using Bontrager Super Juice sealant in these
tires will increase their puncture resistance and reduce their
tendency to leak air.
