Couldn't load pickup availability
A disc-brake carbon road rim with 34/31mm outer, 25mm inner width, 40/45mm wave depth options, and four weight tiers 375–450g.
Race-Ready Disc Road Rim
The BOLA 700c carbon road rim pairs a 25mm inner width with 40mm or 45mm wave profile depths. Disc-brake design removes brake-track heat concerns, while the 25mm inner width supports 29–44mm road tires for comfort and rolling efficiency.
Buying Guide.
Weight tier - Extreme Light ~375g: smooth-road climbers.
Weight tier - Ultralight ~395g: race builds.
Weight tier - Superlight ~420g: gran fondo middle.
Weight tier - Standard ~450g: larger riders and durability.
Depth - choose the shallower wave for crosswind calm, or the deeper wave for flat-course aero.
Internal width - narrow bed: built for 28-32mm road tires; it is not a wide gravel rim.
Target Audience & Usage Notes.
Road racers, gran fondo riders, and OEM custom wheelset builders on disc-brake frames.
Not for off-road or gravel riding.
The Ride That Awaits.
Clamp it on, bed the tires, and you feel the wave section cut cleanly through the air while the road tires float over the tarmac - stiff, direct, uncomplaining on a long road. It rewards the steady grinder. Rated to a real rider weight and backed by a 3-year warranty with free shipping.

Translation missing: en.product.metafields.tradeoffs
- Aero vs Crosswind: 45mm depth maximizes aerodynamics for flat/time-trial efforts, while 40mm reduces crosswind sensitivity for mixed-terrain and endurance.
- Weight vs Durability: Extreme Light at ~375g saves up to 75g/rim vs Standard at ~450g, but impacts durability; Standard is recommended for riders over 100kg.
- Tire Volume vs Speed: 25mm inner width supports 28–32mm tires, improving comfort and rolling efficiency, but slightly less aero than narrower rims; ideal for endurance.
- Price vs Performance: Higher weight grades cost more, but provide reduced rotating mass for race day; choose based on budget and intended use.

What tire sizes are compatible with this rim?
This rim has a 25mm inner width, optimized for 28–32mm road tires. This wider profile increases air volume, reducing rolling resistance and improving comfort. It is not recommended for narrower tires below 28mm as the profile may not seat optimally. Always check manufacturer recommendations for tire/rim compatibility.
Can this rim be set up tubeless?
While not explicitly stated in the description, the 25mm inner width and modern design suggest tubeless compatibility. To run tubeless, you'll need rim tape, tubeless valves, and sealant. Ensure the tire and rim combination is rated for tubeless. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer or a professional mechanic.
What are the weight options and how do they affect performance?
The rim is available in four weight grades: Standard (~450g), Superlight (~420g), Ultralight (~395g), and Extreme Light (~375g). Lighter rims reduce rotating mass, improving acceleration and climbing. However, lighter rims may be less durable and are not recommended for heavier riders or rough roads. Choose based on your weight and intended use.
Can I customize the build of this rim?
Yes, the rim is custom-build ready. Valve and spoke hole diameters, nipple angles, and spoke patterns are customizable for OEM or team-specified builds. The rim is drilled for 24 spokes, but other configurations may be possible with custom drilling. Consult the manufacturer for detailed customization options.
How should I maintain and inspect this carbon rim?
Regularly inspect the rim for cracks, delamination, or impact damage after hard rides. Check spoke tension and true the wheel periodically. Clean with mild soap and water, avoid harsh chemicals. For carbon rims, avoid excessive heat from braking; since this is disc brake specific, that is less of a concern. Follow manufacturer guidelines for pressure and torque.
