Innovative Design and Construction

The BOLA 90 & 95mm Wave carbon rim features a precision-engineered 180mm hooked tubeless carbon rim design that combines aerodynamics with durability. Available in 700C size with widths of 28mm external and 21mm internal, these rims are optimized for time trials and triathlons. The hooked bead edge ensures secure tire seating for tubeless setups, reducing the risk of air leaks or blowouts while improving overall ride comfort. Crafted using advanced carbon fiber layering techniques, these rims provide a strong yet lightweight solution, essential for competitive riders seeking every advantage on the road.

Performance Benefits for Competitive Riding

Utilizing the 180mm hooked tubeless carbon rim design, the BOLA 90 & 95mm Wave rims deliver exceptional rigidity and stiffness for powerful acceleration and speed maintenance. Their aerodynamic 90mm and 95mm rim depths minimize drag, helping cyclists maintain higher speeds with less effort. The rim's compatibility with tubeless tires means lower rolling resistance and enhanced grip, critical for TT and triathlon racing conditions. Additionally, the rim widths of 28mm and 21mm support wider tires, delivering improved stability, comfort, and control over varying road surfaces.

Durability and Compatibility for Long-Term Use

Designed for riders who demand reliability, the 180mm hooked tubeless carbon rim ensures robust performance over time. The carbon construction resists common impacts and road vibrations, while the hooked bead rim prevents tire burping during high-pressure efforts. These rims maintain compatibility with both tubeless and clincher tubed tires, offering flexibility for different riding preferences. Whether preparing for intense triathlon racing or training, the BOLA Wave rims are engineered for long-lasting durability and consistent performance at the highest level.
