Bola 26in 90mm T800 carbon 6-spoke fat bike wheelset, 83mm inner, 36T hub, tubeless, disc.
The 26in Snow Blade
A 26 inch (ISO 559mm) fat set—90mm external, 83mm internal—with six integrated carbon aero spokes and a 36T ratchet hub. T800 carbon.
Buying Guide.
Internal width - 83mm: run 3.8-5.0in fat tires at the lowest practical pressure for float over deep snow and loose sand; lift pressure on hardpack to cut drag.
Hub engagement - 36T ratchet: choose it for snowy, rooty climbs where drive must engage the instant you push.
Use - this is a fat platform, not a skinny-trail wheel: keep pressure low and tires wide, and it floats where others sink.
Same family - the 26in keeps tire fit simple; the Bola 27.5er tri-spoke fat set trades this size for a slightly larger, faster-rolling wheel.
Target Audience & Usage Notes.
Snow, sand, loose gravel fat biking.
Not aggressive DH.
The Ride That Awaits.
Point it at the first powder turn and feel that 36T hub bite the instant you push, the fat tires floating over snow and sand as if the wheel had learned to walk on water. No pinches, no fear - just grip at a whisper of pressure while the wide bed takes whatever the trail throws. Free shipping and a 2-year wheelset warranty mean the only risk is staying home.

Trade-offs & Considerations
Aero vs Crosswind: The integrated six-spoke carbon aero profile smooths airflow versus 32 round spokes, but at fat-bike speeds (around 20km/h) the saving is only about 1.5W; the 90mm external rim width is the dominant crosswind factor on open snow and sand.
Weight vs Stiffness: T800 carbon with integrated spokes saves about 500-800g per set versus an alloy fat-bike wheelset (+/-50g), and the monocoque six-spoke layout raises lateral stiffness; the trade-off is a firmer, less vertically compliant ride on repeated impacts.
Tire-Type Trade-off: The hooked bed runs clincher or tubeless tyres on the 83mm internal width, accepting roughly 4.0-4.8in fat tyres; tubeless lets you drop to 4-10 PSI for flotation but needs tape, a valve and sealant to seal the bed.
Sourcing & Delivery Trade-off: Stock build ships in 1-3 business days at $890; a custom decal or hub finish adds 7-15 business days and roughly a $60-100 premium.
Config Ladder: The integrated six-spoke carbon design is fixed, so the real upgrade path is the hub: a ceramic bearing service cuts about 1.0W of friction for around +$100, and a faster-engagement ratchet shortens pickup from 10 degrees.

Recommended Use Cases
Snow Riding: Excellent. The 83mm internal width provides superior flotation on deep snow, allowing you to glide over powder rather than sink.
Sand Riding: Excellent. Similarly, the wide rim distributes weight effectively on soft sand, reducing the effort required to maintain momentum.
Loose Gravel / Off-Road: Good. The stiff carbon construction and 36T ratchet hub deliver efficient power transfer on loose surfaces, though the wide profile may feel less agile on tighter trails.
Climbing: Good. The stiff wheels efficiently transfer pedal power, but the added weight and width may slow acceleration on steep, technical climbs.
Endurance Rides: Suitable. Tubeless compatibility allows lower tire pressures for a smoother ride, but the rigid spokes and rim can transmit harshness on rough terrain over long distances.
Not Recommended For: Aggressive downhill or jump-heavy riding, as the wide, stiff wheels are less forgiving than dedicated downhill wheelsets.

FAQ
What tyre pressures work on the 83mm internal rim?
The 83mm internal width is built for 4.0-4.8in fat tyres. Start around 6 PSI on snow or sand and run 4-10 PSI, adjusting for rider weight; the tubeless-ready bed lets you drop pressure without pinch flats.
Is it tubeless-ready?
Yes. Fit tubeless tape and valves, add sealant (around 120-180ml per tyre) and inflate with a compressor to seat the hooked bead.
How fast is the hub engagement?
The 36-tooth ratchet gives about 10 degrees of engagement, so power picks up quickly on technical snow climbs and when accelerating out of corners.
How much weight does it save over an alloy fat-bike wheelset?
T800 carbon with integrated spokes typically saves about 500-800g per set versus alloy, cutting rotational mass; the exact build weight is quoted on request.
Which freehub body fits my cassette?
XDR is fitted as standard; HG and XD driver bodies can be requested - confirm your drivetrain at checkout.
