The Bola ELT 35G 700C Carbon Gravel Wheelset - a featherweight ~1230g Adventure-oriented gravel set with a 30mm internal bed, built in Toray T800 carbon.

If your gravel days are spent adenture rolling hills and chasing punchy accelerations, meet the Bola ELT 35G. A featherlight ~1230g complete carbon gravel wheelset built for weight-conscious gravel racers, gran fondo riders, and mixed-terrain cyclists who value snappy climbing above all.

Buying Guide.

Internal width - 24mm: run a 35-40mm tire at 40-60 PSI tubeless for fast gravel and smooth all-road.

Internal width - 30mm: cup a 42-48mm tire at 28-45 PSI for rough gravel and rock gardens.

Max rider weight: rated to 105kg system - confirm rider and gear before ordering.

Same-depth series: the SL 35G at $789 uses a serviceable DT Swiss 350 hub, while the ELT 35G at $579 adds CX-Ray spokes - choose this ELT for low weight and multi-cassette value.

Adjacent depth: among ELT gravel this is the adventure pick; the 450W set adds aero and a deeper rim for faster rollouts.

Target Audience & Usage Notes.

For weight-focused gravel racers, hilly gravel events, gran fondos with climbing, and light-load bikepacking.

Not for heavily-laden expedition bikepacking or DH/enduro MTB impacts.

Verify frame tire clearance for 48mm tires.

Max system weight 105kg.

The Ride That Awaits.

The first punchy gravel climb feels almost unfair - the shallow rim and light pair rise like a balloon let loose, the ceramic hub offering no pedal lag between your effort and the air beneath you. The wide bed cups a 42mm tyre at low pressure over the rock chatter. Free shipping, VAT included, and a 3-year rim / 2-year wheelset warranty with crash-replacement cover mean every climb this season is yours.

Trade-offs & Considerations
Aero vs Crosswind: The 35mm depth is deliberately shallow: it gives up about 2.5W versus a 45mm gravel wheel at 40km/h but stays calm at 10° yaw on exposed gravel drags, which is the right trade-off for loose, windy terrain.
Weight vs Stiffness: T700/T800 carbon builds the set to about 1340g (±5g), about 100–150g lighter than an aluminium or lower-modulus gravel wheel at the same 35mm depth, while lateral stiffness stays within 3% and the 24/24 Pillar lacing keeps the rear compliant over rough tracks.
Tire-Type Trade-off: The hooked / hookless bed takes 28–62c tubeless; the 24mm internal bed cups 35–40mm tyres at 40–60 PSI, and the 30mm bed runs 42–48mm at 28–45 PSI for rougher gravel. Wider volume trades a little rolling speed for much more comfort and puncture margin.
Sourcing & Delivery Trade-off: Standard stock ships in 1–3 business days at $579; a custom width, freehub or decal spec adds 7–15 business days and roughly a $60–100 premium.
Config Ladder: The BL300 54T ceramic hub (6.7° engagement) is already the fast option; moving from the 24mm to the 30mm internal bed adds about 40–60g for wider tyre volume, and a 45mm front / 50mm rear wave rim adds about 80g and ~2.5W of aero.

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 24mm / 30mm options beds with 35-50mm tubeless at 35-50 PSI.
Mixed-Surface Adventure: Eurobike 2026 trend toward all-road and 32er builds; this 35mm 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 this wheelset bolt straight onto my Shimano groupset?
A Shimano HG freehub is fitted, so an HG cassette mounts directly; note at checkout if you run SRAM XD/XDR and we will fit the matching body.
Will the rim crack on rock gardens or bottom-outs at low pressure?
The bead area uses a thickened impact-reinforced layer; impact testing passes >40J extreme impacts (above the ISO 30J standard). Inner widths of 24/30mm accept wider tyres, which deform to absorb shock at low pressure.
If my 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.
Are the ceramic bearings durable in rain or rough conditions — do they need frequent service?
The bearings use dual-lip contact labyrinth dust/water seals. No special disassembly is needed for wet riding; a routine grease top-up every ~5,000 km or after each rainy season is enough.
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.
