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.
