The Bola 700c asymmetric V carbon gravel rim — a 30mm-deep, 30mm-wide hoop (335-405g) in Toray T700/T800 carbon for gravel and all-road.

For the long gravel day, comfort and support matter more than raw speed. A 30mm external width gives real sidewall support to wide gravel tires, while a 2.6mm asymmetric offset balances spoke tension.

Buying Guide.

Weight tier - Ultralight ~335g: the climb-oriented build for lighter riders around ~80kg - fast on loaded gravel climbs.

Weight tier - Superlight ~365g: the all-rounder for riders up to ~95kg - race and ride without the thinnest margin.

Weight tier - Normal ~405g: the load-carrying build for riders up to ~105-120kg - choose it for bikepacking and rough roads where durability wins.

Internal width - 24 or 25mm: choose the narrower for a snappier race tire, the wider for a voluminous low-pressure gravel tire on rough tracks.

Same-family: this is the shallower comfort rim in Bola's gravel line; the 40mm gravel rim ($310) adds aero for fast gravel sectors.

Rated to a 105kg system weight.

Target Audience & Usage Notes.

Gravel racing, bikepacking, gran fondo and all-road.

Max system weight 105kg; not pure road racing or MTB.

Disc only.

The Ride That Awaits.

Load the bike for a long gravel day and feel the rim soak up the chatter - wide tires, low pressure, a wheel that carries your kit without complaint. It rolls into rough tracks with composure, absorbing stones that would rattle a narrow rim. Choose a layup to match your load and let the 3-year rim warranty carry the risk.

Weight Tier: Normal 405g, Superlight 365g, Ultralight 335g
Trade-offs & Considerations
Aero vs Crosswind: The 30mm gravel depth sits between a climbing rim and an aero road rim; at 40km/h it saves about 2.0W versus a 25mm gravel rim, while the 30mm outer width keeps it calm at 10° yaw on exposed gravel drags.
Weight vs Stiffness: The Ultralight tier (335g) saves about 70g versus the Normal tier (405g) (±5g); lateral stiffness stays within 3% because the asymmetric 2.6mm offset and the 30mm outer wall are shared across tiers.
Tire-Type Trade-off: The hooked, tubeless-ready bed accepts gravel tyres from 32mm to 54mm; tubeless lets you run 30–50 psi for comfort and grip, but needs tape, valve and sealant to seal the bed.
Sourcing & Delivery Trade-off: Stock drilling ships in 1–3 business days at $310; custom spoke drilling for straight-pull or J-bend adds 7–15 business days and roughly a $40–80 premium.

Recommended Use Cases
Gravel Racing: Good choice for mixed-terrain racing with wide tire support and reliable construction.
Bikepacking: Good for loaded adventures; Normal tier supports up to 120kg rider weight for heavy loads.
Gran Fondo / Endurance: Suitable for long rides with comfort from wide tire compatibility and tubeless setup.
Road Racing: Not recommended; 30mm depth and wide profile lack aero efficiency for competitive road racing.
Training / Daily Riding: Suitable for everyday riding; durable construction and tubeless compatibility make it practical.
Not Recommended For: Heavy-duty MTB downhill or track use; this rim is optimized for gravel and all-road, not aggressive off-road or velodrome.

FAQ
What spoke drillings are available, and which brake type is this rim rated for?
Spoke drillings and brake rating depend on the build option, selectable at checkout. If you plan to lace your own wheel, confirm the drilling and brake type with Bola before ordering so the rim matches your hub and frame.
What is the maximum spoke tension for this rim?
Drive-side / disc-side max tension is 130–140 kgf, with the non-drive side adapted to match; spoke holes are locally reinforced inside the carbon layup to prevent pull-out cracking.
Will the rim crack on rock gardens or bottom-outs at low pressure?
The rim bead area uses a thickened impact-reinforced layer; impact testing passes >40J extreme impacts (above the ISO 30J standard). Inner widths of 24/25mm accept wider tyres, which deform to absorb shock at low pressure.
What tyres can I mount on this rim, and what pressure should I run?
On the 24/25mm inner width, gravel tyres from 32mm to 54mm sit best; run lower pressures off-road for cushioning rather than road-high numbers.
Will I really pay no customs or VAT for delivery to the US and EU?
Yes. The Economy channel ships DDP — duties and VAT are fully prepaid by us, cleared in advance, delivered to your door with no extra payment to customs or the courier.
