Campagnolo Bora Ultra WTO 45 C23 2-Way Fit Disc Road Bike Wheelset Chrome

The Campagnolo Bora Ultra WTO 45 2-Way C23 Disc Chrome represents the pinnacle of Italian engineering and craftsmanship in cycling components. Designed to meet the demands of elite road cyclists, this wheelset delivers a perfect balance of aerodynamic efficiency, lightweight construction, and precise control. Its refined design builds upon decades of success, combining advanced materials and innovative technologies to elevate your riding experience to new heights.

Crafted from aerospace-grade carbon fibre, these wheels offer exceptional impact resistance and durability while remaining featherlight. The unique carbon lay-up technique enhances strength by orienting fibres around spoke holes, reducing weak points common in traditional designs. The lightweight front carbon hub further optimizes performance, making acceleration and handling remarkably responsive.

Featuring Campagnolo’s exclusive C-LUX finish, the rims boast a mirror-like surface that eliminates the need for lacquer, cutting down weight and ensuring a flawless tubeless tyre fit. The 2-Way Fit system allows seamless switching between clincher and tubeless tyres, giving you the flexibility to tailor your setup whether training or racing. With a 45mm rim depth and 23mm inner width, these wheels deliver superior aerodynamics and stability, fitting a wide range of tyre options for versatile road performance.

Incorporating the innovative G3 lacing pattern, the Bora Ultra WTO wheels enhance stiffness, power transfer, and load distribution while reducing vibrations and rim deformation. With premium CULT ceramic bearings and compatibility with multiple freehub standards, this wheelset is engineered for smooth, reliable performance on every ride.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tyre types are compatible with the Bora Ultra WTO 45 wheels?
The wheels support both clincher and tubeless tyres thanks to Campagnolo’s 2-Way Fit technology, giving you the flexibility to switch between tyre types depending on your riding needs.

Are these wheels suitable for all road conditions?
These wheels are optimized for road cycling, excelling on smooth pavement and racing scenarios. They are not designed for off-road or gravel terrain, where more rugged wheels would be more appropriate.

How does the G3 lacing system improve performance?
The 7x3 G3 spoke pattern balances tension more effectively than traditional lacing, increasing stiffness and power transmission while reducing vibrations and enhancing load distribution for a smoother ride.

What is the significance of the C-LUX finish?
C-LUX provides a high-gloss, mirror-like surface on the carbon rims without the need for lacquer. This reduces weight and improves tubeless tyre seating, resulting in better pressure seals and easier tyre changes.

Can I use these wheels with different freehub standards?
Yes, the Bora Ultra WTO 45 wheelset is compatible with N3W Light, XDR, and HG11 freehub systems, accommodating a wide range of drivetrain setups.
