A 60/65mm wave aero toroidal carbon rim with 28/22mm widths, tubeless-ready, and three weight tiers 430–535g for road racing and TT.
Wave Aero Speed at Factory Price
The BOLA 60/65mm wave aero rim reduces drag at common yaw angles (5°–15°) where road and triathlon speeds operate. Its 28mm outer and 22mm inner width supports 26–38mm tubeless tires for a blend of stability and rolling efficiency.
Buying Guide.
Weight tier - Ultralight ~430g: lightest for climbers willing to carry aero depth.
Weight tier - Superlight ~485g: the balanced race choice.
Weight tier - Normal ~535g: durable for larger riders and rough race weeks.
Depth - deep aero: a flat-course weapon; in wind or on climbs it demands respect.
Adjacent depth - the shallower Bola wave rims are calmer in gusts; go deep only for fast, straight courses.
Target Audience & Usage Notes.
Road racers, triathletes, TT riders and criterium sprinters.
Not for climbing or crosswind-heavy conditions.
The Ride That Awaits.
Hit the flats and tuck - that wave aero section slices the wind at the yaw where real riding happens, the wide bed carrying 26-38mm rubber with a calm, planted feel. It is the sprint train's quiet accomplice. Backed by a 3-year warranty with crash cover and free shipping, it wants your next race.

Translation missing: en.product.metafields.tradeoffs
- Aero vs Climbing: At 60-65mm depth, aerodynamic gains are significant at speeds above 40 km/h, but the added weight (430-550g) makes climbing more demanding compared to shallower rims (e.g., 30-40mm).
- Crosswind vs Aero: The 60mm depth offers lower crosswind sensitivity than 65mm, but still requires attention in gusty conditions. The toroidal wave profile helps stability in 5-15° yaw.
- Weight vs Durability: Ultralight (430g) saves up to 105g over Normal (535g) but may be less robust; Normal tier is heavier but more durable for daily training.
- Tire Volume vs Speed: 28mm outer width supports 25-32mm tires, improving comfort and rolling efficiency, but wider tires can slightly increase aerodynamic drag compared to narrower tires.

What is the recommended tubeless setup for these rims?
The rims are tubeless-ready and require tubeless tape, valve stem, and sealant (not included). The outer width of 28mm supports 25-32mm tires. Use sealant like 30-60ml per tire. Ensure tape covers the rim bed and valve hole. Inflate to recommended tire pressure based on weight and terrain, typically 80-110 psi.
What tire sizes are compatible with these rims?
The 22mm inner width is designed for 25-32mm tires. This accommodates modern road tires in tubeless or clincher setup. Wider tires up to 32mm improve comfort and rolling efficiency, while 25mm tires offer lower aerodynamic drag.
How much weight can I save with the Ultralight version?
The Ultralight tier weighs 430g ±10g, while the Normal tier is 535g ±15g and Superlight is 485g ±15g. Choosing Ultralight saves up to 105g per rim compared to Normal, beneficial for climbing and acceleration.
Can I customize these rims for my specific wheel build?
Yes, spoke hole diameter (standard 4.5mm), valve and assembly hole diameters (6.5mm/7.5mm), and nipple angles are configurable. The rims are verified per unit for weight and tolerance specifications. Custom builds can be coordinated with your wheel builder.
How should I maintain and inspect these carbon rims?
Regularly inspect for cracks, delamination, or impact damage. Check spoke tension and true the wheels if needed. Clean with mild soap and water, avoid high-pressure washers. If using rim brakes, clean braking surface with isopropyl alcohol. Impact resistance exceeds 40J per ISO 4210-7.
