Bola ELT 35G 700C Carbon Gravel Wheelset, 35mm Depth, 36mm Width, Tubeless Ready, 1250g

The Bola ELT 35G 700C Carbon Gravel Wheelset is an ultra‑light, value‑driven carbon fiber gravel wheelset built for gravel racers, gran fondo participants, hill‑climbing enthusiasts and mixed‑terrain adventure cyclists. It is purpose‑engineered for riders tackling hardpack trails, rough country lanes, loose gravel paths and occasional paved asphalt, who crave snappy climbing responsiveness, without sacrificing generous tire volume for off‑road comfort and grip.

Crafted with blended Toray T800 UD carbon fiber construction, this complete 700C tubeless‑ready gravel wheelset tips the scales at just 1250g total pair weight (excl. rim tape & valve). Reduced rotational mass delivers instant acceleration and effortless climbing — a huge advantage on rolling hilly gravel courses and steep mountain gravel segments. Many riders shopping for affordable carbon gravel wheels prioritize low weight for hill work, and the ELT 35G delivers race‑oriented lightweight performance without the premium price tag of big‑name wheel brands.

Its 36 mm external / 30 mm internal rim width stands out for supporting extra‑wide gravel tires ranging from 35‑48C. This broad inner rim profile unlocks the ability to run much lower tubeless tyre pressures: soak up trail chatter, boost cornering traction over loose stones and rutted ground, and greatly minimise pinch‑flat risk on sharp rocky terrain. Fully tubeless‑ready straight out of the box for easy setup with tubeless sealant. While optimised for gravel, it also works with 28‑35mm road‑oriented tyres for all‑road mixed‑surface outings.

At the heart of this wheelset sits the precision‑machined BL200 CNC hub with premium ceramic bearings. The ceramic bearing assembly cuts down rolling friction for silky‑smooth free‑spinning performance, reduces heat build‑up, and extends service life versus standard steel bearings. Its advanced 54‑tooth ratchet system delivers 6.7‑degree engagement, delivering near‑instant power pick‑up the moment you push on the pedals. This ultra‑fast engagement shines in technical gravel sections, tight corner exits, punchy sprint efforts and steep short climbs, where delayed hub pick‑up can rob you of momentum. Built‑in sealing shields help block trail grit, dust and moisture from muddy gravel rides.

Rigorously lab validated to ISO 4210‑7 cycling safety standards, the wheels pass 750 000‑cycle fatigue testing alongside >40J impact resistance. Strict in‑house quality control checks rim flatness, roundness, spoke tension, stiffness and dynamic balance, giving you confidence for gravel racing, gran fondo events and regular weekend adventure rides. The 105 kg maximum system weight covers most rider + bike + gear combinations.

Key Differentiator vs Bola SL 35G: The ELT 35G targets weight‑focused gravel riders on a tighter budget. At 1250 g it is lighter than the 1330 g SL 35G, accepts much wider 35‑48 C gravel tyres, and comes stock with low‑friction ceramic bearings. The trade‑off: it is built for fast‑light gravel racing and light‑load bikepacking; it is not designed for heavily‑loaded expedition touring.
