The Bola SL 38RB is a 38mm T1000 UD carbon tubular rim-brake wheelset on DT Swiss 350 hubs, ~1190g, for traditional road race bikes.
Attack a rolling stage, survive a long endurance ride, or sprint out of a technical criterium corner: the Bola SL 38RB is tuned for racing responsiveness, pairing a shallow race rim with extremely low rotating mass.
Buying Guide.
Tubular tire - 25-28mm glued: run ~80-90 PSI for a 70kg rider and 100-110 PSI for a 90kg rider on smooth race tarmac.
Max rider weight: rated to 100kg - check rider weight; QR rim-brake frames only.
Same-depth series: the SL 38RB is the sole tubular race set in the SL line, with no same-depth stablemate.
Adjacent depth: the ST 50C (~$860) and EXP 50C (~$1111) sit deeper in rim-brake form for open flats - choose the 38RB where corners and climbing matter.
Target Audience & Usage Notes.
For competitive road racers, criterium riders and traditional rim-brake bike owners using glued tubulars.
Max rider weight 100kg; QR 100/130 dropout required; 25-28mm tubular tires.
Not for off-road, gravel or disc-only frames.
The Ride That Awaits.
Out of the technical corner the tubulars roll like velvet, the light pair springing you onto the straight, the machined track biting through a long controlled descent. This is race-day agility made tangible - the climb light, the sprint sharp, the line true. Free shipping, a UCI-legal build and a 3-year rim / 2-year wheelset warranty mean start racing sooner.
