    The Bola ELT 450W 700C Carbon Wave Gravel Wheelset - a ~1310g aero gravel set with 45/50mm wave rims and a 25mm internal bed, built in Toray T800 carbon.

    When the route leaves smooth tarmac for rough fire roads, the Bola ELT 450W Carbon Wave wheelset keeps speed and control where it matters. Built for competitive gravel racing, endurance events, and mixed-surface adventure, this ~1310g 700C set balances low mass with stiffness and impact resistance.

    Buying Guide.

    Internal width - 25mm (the only bed offered): run a 35-40mm tire at 40-60 PSI tubeless for fast gravel and all-road, or a 40-45mm tire at 30-45 PSI for rough dirt and rutted tracks.

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

    Same-depth series: the CLA 45/50 Wave is a narrower, road-first wave at $468 with steel bearings, while the ULT 45G widens further with CX-Ray spokes at $698 - choose this ELT for gravel width with ceramic bearings at mid price.

    Adjacent depth: within ELT gravel, the 35G is shallower and lighter for climbing, while this aero wave set prioritises rollout speed on fast straights.

    Target Audience & Usage Notes.

    For gravel racers, bikepackers (light load), and mixed-surface endurance riders.

    Not for heavy cargo or extreme downhill.

    Requires a gravel/road disc frame; QR or thru-axle fit.

    Max system weight 110kg.

    The Ride That Awaits.

    Let the paved neutral rollout slip by, then watch the surface turn to crushed shale - the wide bed settles a 40mm tyre into the dirt and the ceramic hub hums as you surge out of a rutted left-hander: quick, calm, unflappable. This is gravel without compromise. Free shipping, VAT included, and a 3-year rim / 2-year wheelset warranty with 30% crash-replacement cover mean you point it at the rough stuff with confidence.
