    The Bola ELT 40R 700C Carbon Disc Wheelset - a featherweight ~1250g 40mm all-rounder with a ceramic 54T ratchet hub, built in Toray T800 carbon.

    Take one wheelset on mixed-surface rides and feel the difference: the Bola ELT 40R is built for balanced speed and responsive handling whether you roll fast on pavement or pick a line through gravel. A 40mm rim and ~1250g pair make it a single versatile disc-brake set for road and gravel.

    Buying Guide.

    Internal width - 21mm: run a 28mm tire at 75-90 PSI for smooth tarmac.

    Internal width - 24mm: cup a 30-32mm tire at 65-80 PSI for mixed roads.

    Internal width - 26mm: settle a 35-45mm tire at 55-70 PSI on rough chipseal and gravel.

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

    Same-depth series: the CLA 40R at $468 uses a steel-bearing hub, while the ULT 40R at $698 adds CX-Ray spokes - choose this ELT as the light ceramic all-rounder between them.

    Adjacent depth: the ELT 45R adds a little aero and the ELT 50R more flat speed - this 40R is the climb-friendly all-rounder.

    Target Audience & Usage Notes.

    For endurance riders, gran fondo participants, and anyone wanting one set for road and gravel.

    Not for off-road mountain biking.

    Requires a disc frame; Center Lock or 6-bolt with adapter.

    Max system weight 105kg.

    The Ride That Awaits.

    Feel the climb soften, the descent steady, the group pull away from doubt - the shallow rim carries you over the rollers without a hint of crosswind drama, and the light pair makes every out-of-the-saddle surge feel nearly effortless. Free shipping, VAT included, and a 3-year rim / 2-year wheelset warranty with 30% crash-replacement cover mean the only thing left is to ride.
