Bola EXP 45R Carbon Wheelset DT Swiss 240s Road

The Bola EXP 45R is a 45mm U-shaped T1000 carbon disc wheelset on DT Swiss 240s hubs with CX-Ray spokes, 1300g, for lightweight road-and-gravel endurance.

The U-shaped endurance blade: DT Swiss reliability, 1300g. The Bola EXP 45R takes a 45mm U-shaped T1000 rim and wraps it around genuine DT Swiss 240s hubs with Sapim CX-Ray spokes — remarkably light for a DT Swiss-equipped disc wheelset, engineered for riders who want proven hub durability without sacrificing climbing acceleration.

Buying Guide.

Internal width - 21mm: 28c at 60-80 PSI for smooth tarmac.

Same-depth series: the CE 45R (~$1111) adds foil carbon spokes and the EXT 45R (~$1111) goes ceramic and lighter; the EXP 45R keeps a genuine DT Swiss 240s at the lightest build.

Adjacent depth: the EXP 40R below climbs easier and the EXP 50R above adds aero - choose the 45R for the balance.

Not for off-road mountain biking or heavy touring.

The Ride That Awaits.

Lift it onto your shoulder and the featherweight feel of it speaks first; on the road the U-shaped rim slices the drags without the knife-edge tremor of deeper wheels. You spin up the climb light, hold the paceline true, and the DT Swiss hub never complains. Free shipping and a 3-year rim / 2-year wheelset warranty mean waiting is the only hard part.
