# Bola EXP 45C DT240S Carbon Road Wheelset, 45mm Rim Brake, Tubeless Ready, 1280g Take climbs with confidence and hold speed on flats: the Bola EXP 45C DT240S wheelset pairs a 45mm aero rim profile with a lightweight 1280g wheelset mass to suit mixed road conditions and sustained efforts. Built around T700/T800 unidirectional carbon and proven DT Swiss 240S hubs, these wheels deliver a precise ride feel for club rides, endurance events, and fast training sessions. Tubeless readiness and a basalt-coated brake track add practical durability for wet or long-day riding. ## Bola EXP 45C DT240S Carbon Road Wheelset - Designed for climbing, endurance and club road use The wheelset balances aerodynamic efficiency and low rotating weight to help riders accelerate, climb, and maintain speed without the premium brand markup. The 45mm depth offers a stable aero advantage in many wind conditions while remaining light enough to reduce perceived effort on gradients. Brake performance is addressed with a basalt-coated rim surface designed for consistent heat dissipation during long descents or repeated braking intervals. ### Why it fits your routine - **Balanced aero and weight:** 45mm rim depth combined with a claimed wheelset weight of 1280g ±20g reduces rotational mass for responsive climbing and sustained speed on flats. - **Rim construction:** T700/T800 unidirectional matte carbon fiber provides a stiff, efficient power transfer platform with a modern aero profile. - **Optimized widths for modern tires:** 25/28mm external and 17/21mm internal rim widths accommodate 25–32mm road tires, improving comfort, grip, and rolling efficiency with wider rubber. - **Reliable hub platform:** DT Swiss 240S straight-pull hubs with a proven pawl system and high-precision bearings offer durable engagement and serviceability expected by serious riders. - **Spoke system:** Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes and external alloy nipples (20 front / 24 rear) balance aerodynamic performance, spoke fatigue resistance, and ease of maintenance. - **Tubeless ready:** Pre-drilled rim design supports tubeless setups for lower pressures, fewer pinch flats, and improved ride comfort during long rides and events. - **Brake track engineering:** Basalt-coated carbon braking surface is tested for consistent rim braking in both dry and wet conditions, addressing heat dissipation for long descents. - **Standards and testing:** ISO 4210 compliance plus 24h static load, 100h dynamic fatigue, and EN14781 rim testing provide documented quality assurance for road use. - **Warranty and support:** A 2-year global manufacturer warranty covers defects and supports retail or OEM purchasing for shops and builders. - **Value-driven choice:** Positioned as a mid-range, factory-direct wheelset, the Bola EXP 45C DT240S aims to deliver high-performance features—lightweight rims, tubeless compatibility, and DT 240S hubs—without the premium price of top-tier brands. Recommended use cases include climbing and fast descents on varied road terrain, endurance and gran fondo events that benefit from tubeless reliability, and club or amateur racing where durability, predictable rim braking, and a responsive feel matter most. ## Details - **Price:** 1111.0 USD - **Type:** Carbon Road Bike Wheelset - **Tags:** 25mm wide, 28mm wide, 45mm, 45mm carbon road wheelset, 45mm rim brake road wheels, 45mm rim brake wheels, 700c, 700c carbon wheels, aero road wheels, Bola carbon wheelset, Bola EXP carbon wheels, carbon road wheelset, carbon road wheelset tubeless, climbing road wheelset, DT 240S hub wheelset, DT 240S road hubs, DT Swiss, DT Swiss 240s hub, lightweight carbon wheelset, lightweight road wheels, performance bike upgrade, rim brake, rim brake carbon wheelset, road, road racing wheels, Sapim CX-Ray, tubeless, tubeless carbon wheels, tubeless road wheelset, value carbon wheelset, wheels, wheelset ## 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 40C DT240S Carbon Road Wheelset, 40mm Rim Brake Tubeless, 25/28mm Wide, 1300g Carbon Fiber Sporting Goods - Bola EXP 40C DT240S Carbon Road Wheelset, 40mm Rim Brake Tubeless, 25/28mm Wide, 1300g Carbon Fiber Sporting Goods - Bola EXP 40C DT240S Carbon Road Wheelset, 40mm Rim Brake Tubeless, 25/28mm Wide, 1300g Carbon Fiber Sporting Goods ## Additional Information - **Product rating count:** 1 - **Related products settings:** ahead - **AI Summary:** The Bola EXP 45C DT240S Carbon Road Wheelset is a 45mm carbon, rim-brake wheelset for road cyclists who want a lightweight setup for climbing, fast group rides, and mixed hilly-to-flat courses.
