# Bola EXP 40T Carbon Tubular 40mm Road Wheelset with DT Swiss 240S (25mm or 28mm) Lightweight and purpose-built, the Bola EXP 40T wheelset is designed for riders who want a single, versatile set for racing, climbing and mixed-terrain road riding. At a paired weight of 1170g and a 40mm rim depth, these tubular wheels balance aerodynamic benefit with low rotating mass to keep accelerations lively and climbs responsive. ## Bola EXP 40T Carbon Tubular 40mm - Designed for racing and climbing Built from Toray T700/T800 carbon and paired with proven DT Swiss 240S hubs, the Bola EXP 40T offers a combination of stiffness, durability and smooth engagement that supports aggressive road riding. The basalt-reinforced brake track improves heat dissipation and braking consistency for rim brake setups, helping maintain control during long descents or spirited group rides. ### Why it fits your routine - **Lightweight performance:** 1170g build delivers reduced rotating weight to improve climbing and rapid accelerations without sacrificing stability. - **40mm rim depth:** A mid-depth profile that provides aerodynamic gain for race pace while remaining manageable in variable wind conditions. - **Rim width options:** Available in 25mm for a more aero tire profile or 28mm for greater tire support and compatibility with wider road tires, so you can tailor handling to your preferred rubber and routes. - **DT Swiss 240S hubs:** Reliable, serviceable hub platform known for precise engagement and long-term durability under road-racing loads. - **Basalt brake track:** Reinforced brake surface designed to enhance heat management and consistent stopping power for rim-brake systems during long descents. - **Tubular-only design:** Engineered exclusively for tubular tires to deliver the low rolling resistance and road feel favored in competitive riding. - **Cost-effective high-performance option:** Combines premium construction materials and race-oriented features at a position below ultra-premium models, offering performance where it matters most. Compared against typical high-end wheelsets, the Bola EXP 40T trades a small amount of absolute weight and the deepest rim depths for a package that emphasizes versatility and value: Toray T700/T800 carbon construction instead of top-tier monocoque laminates, a basalt brake track rather than specialized textured carbon, and the proven DT Swiss 240S hub instead of higher-cost ceramic or boutique alternatives. These choices yield a wheelset that is optimized for riders seeking race-capable performance, confident braking on rim brakes, and adaptable tire compatibility while keeping overall cost and real-world usability in mind. Specifications you can rely on include a paired weight of 1170g, 40mm rim depth, available rim widths of 25mm and 28mm, Toray T700/T800 carbon construction, basalt-reinforced brake tracks for rim brakes, DT Swiss 240S hubs, and a tubular-only tire fitment designed for racing-oriented setups. ## Details - **Price:** 1111.0 USD - **Type:** Carbon Tubular Road Wheelsets - **Tags:** 25mm 28mm rim width, 25mm and 28mm rim width, 25mm wide rim wheels, 28mm wide rim wheels, 40mm rim brake wheels, 40mm rim brake wheelset, aero climbing wheelset, aero road cycling wheels, aero wheels, B2B carbon wheel supplier, basalt brake surface, basalt brake surface wheels, basalt brake track, basalt brake track rims, carbon race wheels, carbon road bike wheels, carbon road wheels, carbon road wheelset, carbon tubular road wheels, carbon tubular road wheelset, cost-effective carbon wheels, DT Swiss, DT Swiss 240S, DT Swiss 240S carbon wheels, DT Swiss 240S hubs, lightweight climbing wheels, lightweight road wheels, lightweight road wheelset, rim brake wheels, road cycling wheels, road cycling wheelset, Toray carbon wheelset, training racing wheels, tubular carbon wheels, tubular training wheels, tubular wheelset, wheels, wide road rims ## Variants | Variant | Price | Available | |---------|-------|-----------| | 17/25 mm / Shimano HG / Black Bola | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 17/25 mm / Shimano HG / White Bola | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 17/25 mm / Shimano HG / Customized | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 17/25 mm / Sram XDR / Black Bola | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 17/25 mm / Sram XDR / White Bola | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 17/25 mm / Sram XDR / Customized | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 17/25 mm / Compy / Black Bola | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 17/25 mm / Compy / White Bola | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 17/25 mm / Compy / Customized | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 21/28 mm / Shimano HG / Black Bola | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 21/28 mm / Shimano HG / White Bola | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 21/28 mm / Shimano HG / Customized | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 21/28 mm / Sram XDR / Black Bola | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 21/28 mm / Sram XDR / White Bola | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 21/28 mm / Sram XDR / Customized | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 21/28 mm / Compy / Black Bola | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 21/28 mm / Compy / White Bola | 1111.00 USD | In stock | | 21/28 mm / Compy / Customized | 1111.00 USD | In stock | ## Images - Bola EXP 40T Carbon Tubular Wheelset 40mm Rim Brake DT Swiss 240S | 25/28mm Carbon Fiber Sporting Goods - Bola EXP 40T Carbon Tubular Wheelset 40mm Rim Brake DT Swiss 240S | 25/28mm Carbon Fiber Sporting Goods - Bola EXP 40T Carbon Tubular Wheelset 40mm Rim Brake DT Swiss 240S | 25/28mm Carbon Fiber Sporting Goods ## Additional Information - **Search product boosts:** Rim Profile: 40mm medium-depth carbon tubular for balanced aero and climbing performance, Rim Width Options: 25mm (for aerodynamics) or 28mm (for wider tires and stability), Wheelset Weight: 1170g (pair), Material: Toray T700/T800 unidirectional matte carbon, EN 14781 certified, Brake Track: Basalt-reinforced for optimized rim brake heat dissipation, Hubs: DT Swiss 240S straight-pull with high-precision bearings, Tire Compatibility: Tubular tires only - **Related products settings:** ahead - **Hub Model:** DT Swiss 240s - **Rim Depth (mm):** 40 - **Rim Width (mm, external):** 25 - **Wheelset Weight (grams):** 1170 - **Spoke:** Sapim CX Ray - **Bearing:** DT --- > Source: [Bola Carbon Wheelset ](https://bolacarbon.com/products/bola-exp-40t-carbon-tubular-wheelset) > Updated: 2026-08-02
