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.
