# Bola EXP 50T Tubular Carbon Rim Brake Wheelset – 50mm, DT Swiss 240S, Sapim CX-Ray, 1230g Take a fast, confidence-inspiring wheelset onto rolling terrain or steep climbs and feel how balanced aero depth and low mass change your ride. The Bola EXP 50T tubular wheelset pairs a 50mm rim profile with a lightweight 1230g construction and race-proven components to deliver responsive handling and efficient acceleration for road riders focused on speed and control. ## Bola EXP 50T Tubular Carbon Rim Brake Wheelset - Designed for road racing and climbing Built for riders who need a single wheel that performs across varied courses, the EXP 50T blends aerodynamic advantages with climbing-friendly weight. The tubular format reduces rotational mass for snappier accelerations while the 50mm rim depth provides aerodynamic gains on flats and undulations. Basalt-reinforced brake tracks improve heat resistance and help maintain a consistent braking feel on long descents. ### Why it fits your routine - **Balanced aero and weight:** 50mm rim depth gives aerodynamic benefit without the penalty of excessive mass; wheelset weight is 1230g ±20g (no tires), making it suitable for hilly and mixed courses. - **High-quality hubs:** DT Swiss 240S hubs with a 20-spoke front / 24-spoke rear straight-pull configuration deliver durable, serviceable performance under race conditions. - **Efficient, durable spokes:** Sapim CX-Ray stainless steel aero spokes reduce drag while providing proven strength for aggressive riding and regular training. - **Brake reliability:** Basalt-reinforced carbon brake tracks enhance heat dissipation to reduce fade and preserve predictable stopping power during sustained descents. - **Tire compatibility:** Optimized for tubular road tires in the 25–30c range, offering options for riders prioritizing lower rolling resistance and a race-focused setup. - **Rim options:** Available in 25mm or 28mm external widths so riders can match rim width to preferred tire profiles for handling and comfort. - **Certification and support:** EN 14781 compliance confirms safety and durability standards, and a 2-year global official warranty provides after-sales coverage for peace of mind. - **Construction:** Unidirectional matte T700/T800 carbon fiber provides a high-strength, lightweight structure tuned for road performance. Compared with many ultralight 50mm options, the EXP 50T’s combination of a competitive sub-1250g weight, DT Swiss 240S hubs and Sapim CX-Ray spokes positions it as a performance-oriented choice for club racers, gran fondo competitors, and riders wanting a reliable upgrade for both training and event days. The tubular-only design favors riders who prioritize low rotational mass and traditional race setups over clincher or tubeless convenience. With EN 14781 certification and basalt-reinforced braking surfaces, the wheelset focuses on predictable real-world behavior during aggressive descents and extended efforts. Recommended use cases include road race training, club racing, climbing and undulating routes where reduced weight improves acceleration, and event days where a balance of speed and durability matters. The Bola EXP 50T is also suitable for retailers and teams seeking an EN-certified option with a two-year global warranty and established componentry that simplifies service and maintenance. ## Details - **Price:** 1111.0 USD - **Type:** Carbon Road Bike Wheelsets - **Tags:** 25mm wide, 28mm wide, 50mm, 50mm tubular carbon rim brake wheels, 50mm tubular carbon wheels, 700c, Bola EXP 50T wheelset, carbon rim brake wheels, carbon wheelset, climbing aero wheels, DT Swiss, DT Swiss 240s hub, DT240S hub wheelset, lightweight carbon wheels, performance cycling wheels, race-ready wheelset, rim brake, road, road bike upgrade, Sapim CX-Ray, tubular, 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 50T 50mm Tubular Carbon Rim Brake Wheelset – DT240S, Sapim CX Ray, 25/28mm, 1230g Carbon Fiber Sporting Goods - Bola EXP 50T 50mm Tubular Carbon Rim Brake Wheelset – DT240S, Sapim CX Ray, 25/28mm, 1230g Carbon Fiber Sporting Goods - Bola EXP 50T 50mm Tubular Carbon Rim Brake Wheelset – DT240S, Sapim CX Ray, 25/28mm, 1230g Carbon Fiber Sporting Goods ## Additional Information - **Related products settings:** ahead - **Hub Model:** DT Swiss 240s - **Rim Depth (mm):** 50 - **Rim Width (mm, external):** 25 - **Wheelset Weight (grams):** 1230 - **Spoke:** Sapim CX Ray - **Bearing:** DT --- > Source: [Bola Carbon Wheelset ](https://bolacarbon.com/products/bola-exp-50t-tubular-carbon-wheelset) > Updated: 2026-08-02
