Yes, and no. Both are private label brands owned and used by Trek. But Trek doesn't make rims, they just label rims that other make. And there's no reason to assume they have the same profiles or are even made in the same factory. In fact there's no reason to assume that a Bontrager rim made in 2014 will be made by the same factory as one made in the past.
