The Bola 700C 3-spoke 180mm front wheel - an extreme 180mm-deep 3-spoke carbon front wheel, 30mm outer / 23mm internal, ~1000g, with a 36T ratchet hub for TT/track.

An 180mm tri-bladed arrow pointing forward - the deep-front specialist for riders who treat the straight as a launch ramp.

Buying Guide.

Depth choice: an extreme 180mm-deep front for wind-protected, flat TT, triathlon and track - the aero maximum for a front wheel.

Course judgement: choose it on straight, neutral-wind courses; it is too deep and heavy for climbs or gusty road riding.

Front pairing: run it with the Bola rear disc wheel ($790) for a flat-course TT setup.

Family comparison: the 120mm 3-spoke wheel ($650) is shallower and more versatile; this 180mm front ($490) is the budget deep-front specialist.

Front wheel only; tubeless or tubular race tyres.

Target Audience & Usage Notes.

TT/triathlon/track riders seeking an extreme aero front.

Front wheel only; disc brake, Center Lock, 12x100 front axle. 28-35mm tubeless/tubular.

Not for climbs, rolling terrain or gusty road riding.

The Ride That Awaits.

On a flat TT start line it feels planted and purposeful, the 180mm blades slicing one clean line through the wind; the 36T hub answers every surge.

You point it where the road straightens and let it fly.

Free shipping and a 2-year wheelset warranty bring race confidence.

Trade-offs & Considerations
Aero vs Crosswind: The 180mm three-spoke disc is maximally aerodynamic on straight, wind-sheltered TT tracks, saving about 12.0W versus a 50mm laced front at 40km/h; at 10° yaw the solid disc is highly sidewind-sensitive and needs committed steering.
Weight vs Stiffness: The monocoque three-spoke is laterally very stiff for immediate power transfer but carries high rotational mass; exact weight is on request (TBD), and the deep inertia suits steady speed rather than repeated acceleration or climbing.
Tire-Type Trade-off: The hooked bed accepts clincher or tubeless tyres from about 25c to 35c at 70–90 psi; tubeless lowers rolling resistance and puncture risk but needs tape, valve and sealant to seal the bed.
Sourcing & Delivery Trade-off: The stock build ships in 1–3 business days at $490; a custom hub, decal or build adds 7–15 business days and roughly a $60–100 premium.
Config Ladder: The front wheel runs Enduro steel bearings; a ceramic bearing service cuts about 1.5W of friction for about +$120, and the fixed three-spoke structure means spoke count and lacing are not user-changeable.

How It Compares
FAQ
What tyre widths fit this front wheel?
With a 23mm internal width, run 25c–35c clincher or tubeless; use 70–90 psi depending on rider weight and tyre width.
What is the hub and engagement?
A 36T ratchet front hub gives about 10° engagement; the exact hub model is TBD at checkout.
Is it tubeless ready?
Yes, the hooked bed mounts tubeless tyres; use tape, valve and sealant.
Can I use it for climbing or road riding?
Not recommended for climbs or variable road terrain — the 180mm deep disc carries high rotational mass and is tuned for flat TT, triathlon or velodrome use.
Which brake type is compatible?
Disc brake only; this deep front wheel has no rim-brake braking surface.
