Price Segment Cost-effective, direct-to-rider Premium, high brand markup Recommended Use Cases Triathlon or time trial racing requiring maximum aerodynamic efficiency Road cyclists seeking a dedicated deep section front wheel for flat and fast courses Upgrading OEM front wheels for improved ride stiffness and weight savings B2B retailers or workshops needing cost-effective, certified carbon wheel options Riders needing a tubeless disc front wheel compatible with 25mm or 28mm tires Frequently Asked Questions Is an 88mm deep carbon triathlon front wheel good for time trial performance?An 88mm deep section carbon front wheel is engineered for high aerodynamic efficiency in time trials and triathlons, particularly on flat or slightly rolling courses. The greater rim depth reduces drag at high speeds. However, it can be more sensitive to strong crosswinds than shallower profiles, so select based on your local race conditions. What are the benefits of 18mm vs 21mm internal rim width on this tubeless front wheel?Wider 21mm internal rims provide better tire shape and increased air volume, improving comfort and grip for wider 25–28mm tires. The 18mm option is lighter and may suit narrower tire setups and riders who prioritize minimal mass. Choose based on your preferred tire size and ride feel. How does a 25mm vs 28mm external rim width affect tire fit and aerodynamics?25mm external width is optimized for 25mm tires, creating a smooth tire-to-rim profile for classic road setups. 28mm width supports wider tires and enhances stability with modern frames—ideal for wider tubeless or all-weather configurations. Both options improve aero flow over old 20–23mm standards. Is 800g a competitive weight for a 700C deep section front triathlon wheel?Yes, 800g ±30g is typical for an 88mm carbon front disc wheel with modern hub and bearing spec. This matches or slightly undercuts most similarly-deep wheels from premium brands, balancing aero performance and ride stability. What are the pros and cons of a center lock disc interface for triathlon use?Center Lock disc mounting offers fast, precise rotor installation and compatibility with most modern road disc forks. It is widely adopted for professional road and triathlon bikes. One consideration: Center Lock requires dedicated rotors (not 6-bolt), so confirm your spare rotor systems match. { "@context": "https://schema.org/", "@type": "Product", "name": "Bola CLA 700C Carbon Triathlon Disc Single Front Wheel 88mm Tubeless, 18/21mm Internal, 25/28mm External", "description": "Engineered for aerodynamic efficiency in triathlon and time trial racing, the Bola CLA 700C Carbon Disc Front Wheel features an 88mm deep unidirectional Toray carbon rim, tubeless-ready design, and precision Bola 54T hub with Enduro bearings.
