Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Bora Ultra 50 wheels compatible with all types of road bikes?
These wheels are designed specifically for road bikes equipped with rim brakes. They feature a standard 100mm front and 130mm rear hub spacing, compatible with most road bike frames. However, they are not compatible with disc brake systems.

How does the AC3 braking surface improve performance?
AC3 (All Conditions Carbon Control) is a proprietary technology developed by Campagnolo that enhances braking performance on carbon rims in both wet and dry conditions. This results in safer, more consistent braking power, especially important during high-speed descents and variable weather.

What makes the Mega G3 spoke pattern special?
The Mega G3 spoke pattern improves energy transfer and increases the wheel’s rigidity by doubling the number of spokes on the drive side. This design reduces stress on the hub and enhances overall wheel stiffness, translating to better power efficiency and handling.

Do the wheels come with brake pads?
Yes, the Bora Ultra 50 Tubular Wheels include a set of carbon-specific brake pads designed to maximize braking performance and durability.

What kind of maintenance do these wheels require?
Thanks to the high-quality Cult ceramic bearings and durable carbon construction, maintenance is minimal. Regular cleaning and inspection of spokes and brake surfaces will keep the wheels performing at their best. For any major service, it is recommended to consult a professional technician.
