Bola EXP 45T Carbon Tubular Wheelset 45mm Rim Brake – DT Swiss 240S Hubs, 25/28mm Width

Take a performance-focused upgrade to your rim-brake road bike with the Bola EXP 45T Carbon Tubular Wheelset. Built for club racers and demanding cyclists, this set pairs 45mm Toray carbon rims with lightweight wheelset mass and proven braking reliability to improve acceleration, climbing response, and aero efficiency on mixed courses. Choose 25mm or 28mm external rim width to match tire volume, comfort, and frame clearance.

Bola EXP 45T Carbon Tubular Wheelset - Designed for club racing and mixed-terrain road riding

The Bola EXP 45T brings a focused blend of aerodynamic depth and low rotational weight: a typical total wheelset weight of 1180g (±20g) helps riders accelerate quickly and climb with less inertia, while the 45mm rim profile reduces aerodynamic drag on flat and rolling terrain. Tubular construction further reduces rotating mass and supports a supple ride feel favored in race setups and event-day tuning.

Mood and comfort on long rides are supported by the option of two external rim widths. The 28mm external rim is optimized for wider tires, increasing air volume for improved comfort and traction on rough pavement, while the 25mm width suits narrower tire setups and tight clearances without sacrificing responsiveness. The basalt-reinforced brake surface contributes to confident braking performance during long descents where heat resistance and modulation matter most.

Why it fits your routine

• Lightweight performance: A combined wheelset mass of approximately 1180g (±20g) reduces rotational inertia for better acceleration and climbing performance.
• Aero and handling balance: 45mm rim depth delivers aerodynamic gains on flats and rollings while maintaining manageable crosswind handling for club race scenarios.
• Choice of rim width: External 25mm or 28mm rim widths let you tune tire volume, comfort, and traction to match course profiles and personal preference.
• Reliable braking: Basalt-reinforced brake track improves thermal stability and braking modulation for rim brake setups, especially on long descents.
• High-quality hubs: DT Swiss 240S hubs provide precise engagement, low drag, durable construction, and tool-free servicing to keep maintenance straightforward.
• Proven spokes: Sapim CX-Ray high-tensile aero spokes combine stiffness and aerodynamic efficiency for predictable handling and power transfer.
• Certification and rider guidance: EN 14781 testing underlines road safety standards, and the wheelset is engineered for riders up to 100kg when correctly installed and maintained.
• Warranty and support: A two-year global warranty offers manufacturer-backed coverage and service access for retail and B2B partners.

Technical highlights include premium Toray T700/T800 unidirectional matte carbon fiber construction, tubular 45mm rims with selectable external widths, a basalt-reinforced brake surface, Sapim CX-Ray spokes, and DT Swiss 240S hubs, all combined into a factory-direct package positioned for riders seeking pro-level performance at a competitive price point.
