The Bola CLA 45G 700C Carbon Gravel Wheelset - a 45mm aero gravel set with a 26-30mm internal bed, Pillar 1423 spokes and Enduro steel bearings, built in Toray T700/T800 carbon.

Take aero performance and mixed-surface versatility on every ride. The Bola CLA 45G pairs a 45mm rim with wide internal widths to run modern 28-52mm tubeless tires for fast road spins or confident gravel outings. T700/T800 UD carbon, BL300 hubs with Enduro Steel bearings, and Pillar 1423 spokes balance value with durable performance.

Buying Guide.

Internal width - 26mm: run a 35-40mm tire at 38-55 PSI tubeless for fast gravel and all-road.

Internal width - 28mm: cup a 40-45mm tire at 32-48 PSI for rough gravel.

Internal width - 30mm: settle a 45-50mm tire at 28-42 PSI on chunky tracks.

Max rider weight: rated to 110kg system - light-load gravel, not expedition cargo.

Same-depth series: the ELT 450W at $579 uses Pillar spokes, while the CLA 45R at $468 is the road-narrow version of the same hub-and-spoke package - choose this 45G for the CLA package in a gravel-wide bed.

Adjacent depth: within CLA gravel, the 35G is lighter for climbing and the 450G deeper for aero straights - this 45G is the balanced all-road choice.

Target Audience & Usage Notes.

For gravel racers, all-road riders, and mixed-surface enthusiasts wanting aero with wide-tire support.

Not for high-speed technical descents where crosswinds bite.

Requires a gravel/road disc frame.

Max system weight 110kg.

The Ride That Awaits.

The road start slips by on the aero rim, then the surface turns to dirt and the wide bed cups a 40mm tyre at low pressure - the bladed spokes and ceramic hub make acceleration feel scalpel-sharp over whoop and rut. One wheelset, every surface. Free shipping, VAT included, and a 24-month global warranty with crash-replacement cover mean you chase the rough with nothing held back.

Trade-offs & Considerations
Aero vs Crosswind: The 45mm gravel-aero depth saves about 3.0W versus a 35mm rim at 40km/h; at 10 degrees of yaw the wide 32-36mm rim is stable but catches side gusts.
Weight vs Stiffness: At about 1260g the T1000 layup and ceramic hub save roughly 110g versus a 1370g steel-hub SL 45G; lateral stiffness stays within 4%.
Tire-Type Trade-off: Tubeless clincher runs 35-50mm gravel tyres at low pressure for traction and pinch-flat resistance, but sealant needs topping up every 3-6 months.
Sourcing & Delivery Trade-off: Standard stock ships in 1-3 business days while a custom internal-width build takes 7-15; at about $698 it is well under a DT 42mm gravel set near $1,899.
Config Ladder: The BL100 54T TPI ceramic hub is standard; stepping down to the ELT-spec steel bearing and P1420 spokes saves about $120 but adds about 1.5W of friction; the internal bed is selectable at 26, 28 or 30mm.

Recommended Use Cases
Gravel Racing: Fastest-growing US/EU segment — NA holds ≈40% of the global gravel market (2026); Unbound-style endurance events reward wide 26/28/26mm / 28mm / 30mm options beds with 35-50mm tubeless at 35-50 PSI.
Mixed-Surface Adventure: Eurobike 2026 trend toward all-road and 32er builds; this 45mm gravel platform transitions from tarmac to dirt without swapping wheels.
Bikepacking / Expedition: Eurobike/Cyclingworld Europe 2026 highlights bikepacking integration; wide beds carry 40-50mm tyres at low pressure for loaded comfort on rough routes.

FAQ
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 26/28/30mm accept wider tyres, which deform to absorb shock at low pressure.
If the wheel is badly damaged in extreme riding, am I covered?
Yes - beyond the 2-year factory warranty, you get lifetime 30% Crash Replacement: a discounted replacement wheel without paying full price.
How does this 45mm deep rim handle crosswinds on fast descents?
An optimised 45mm profile keeps steering torque predictable at 10°–15° yaw, so high-speed descents stay planted.
Which tyres should I run, and at what pressure?
On the 26mm bed run 35-40mm at 38-55 PSI; the 28mm bed suits 40-45mm at 32-48 PSI; the 30mm bed runs 45-50mm at 28-42 PSI tubeless.
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.
