The Bola EXT 35G is a 35mm wide-platform T800 carbon gravel disc wheelset on a BL180 54T ceramic hub with Hyper carbon spokes, 1090g — the lightest gravel wheelset in the Bola range.
The ultralight gravel blade: 35mm, 1090g, ceramic. The Bola EXT 35G is the featherweight of the gravel family — a 35mm T800 rim (30-36mm external, 24-30mm internal) wrapped around a BL180 CNC aluminum hub, TPI ceramic bearings and Hyper carbon spokes, built for gravel racing where every gram counts.
Buying Guide.
Internal width - 24mm: 32c at 80-90 PSI for road.
Internal width - 30mm: 35-48c at 40-50 PSI for gravel.
Max rider weight: rated to 105kg - the lowest in the Bola gravel range; heavier riders should consider the EXP 50R.
Same-depth series: the EXP 35G (~$999) keeps a DT Swiss 240s hub and the CE 35G (~$1111) pairs DT ratchet with foil spokes; the EXT 35G is the lightest gravel wheel in the catalog.
Adjacent depth: the EXT 45G above adds aero on straight gravel - choose the 35G for the climb, the 45G for the flat.
Target Audience & Usage Notes.
Disc-brake gravel and road frames, 12x100/12x142 or QR.
Max system weight 105kg (lowest in the Bola gravel range); heavier riders should consider EXP 50R (120kg).
Ceramic bearings need clean conditions; Hyper carbon spokes are less impact-tolerant.
Not for aggressive off-road or muddy cyclocross.
The Ride That Awaits.
Pick it up and it feels like a held breath; on the gravel climb it floats where others labor, the ceramic hub freewheeling quiet between your efforts. Wide rubber cradles the rough, and at the top you want to turn around and do it again. Free shipping and a 3-year rim / 2-year wheelset warranty mean the lightest gravel ride in the catalog awaits.

What tire width and pressure should I run?
On 24mm internal, run 32mm road at 80-90 PSI; on 30mm internal, run 35-48c gravel at 40-50 PSI. The bed supports 28-62mm.
What is the maximum system weight?
105kg. The ultralight build comes with a lower weight ceiling.
How long does shipping take and what does it cost?
Free shipping in 7-20 business days. At $1111 the EXT 1090g is roughly half the price of comparable ultralight gravel wheelsets ($2,100-2,300).
How does it compare to the EXT 1090g?
The EXT 1090g (~$1111) is 1090g heavier (1090g) with a deeper 45mm rim for more aero. The 1090g is the climbing specialist.
Is it a good stock-wheel upgrade?
Yes — typical stock wheels weigh 1090g; the 1090g saving is transformative for acceleration and climbing.
