Introducing the new Bora Ultra WTO wheelset
Stiffer, lighter and more aerodynamic, the new Bora Ultra WTO series showcases the beauty of speed.
Since 1994, Campagnolo’s Bora series has set the standard for high-performance racing wheels, with each evolution bringing considerable real-world performance increases. The iconic Italian cycling brand now unveils its latest iteration in the range, the new Bora Ultra WTO series, a range-topping wheelset available disc brake-only, in 33, 45 and 60mm rim-depth formats. The new model takes an evolutionary leap ahead of its predecessors, with significant improvements to aerodynamics, stiffness and weight, unlocked by a forward-thinking design process at the brand’s Vicenza HQ.
The introduction of aerodynamic (and easy to maintain) internal nipples, a redesigned hub and new rim made from proprietary ultra-light carbon fiber, all adds up to an extraordinarily fast wheelset. Beauty is the brand’s forte however, and aesthetics certainly haven’t been forgotten amid the innovation. Elegant copper-shaded #campagnolo branding decorates the wheel’s rim and hub, complete with a timeless and discrete desaturation effect that hints at something truly special beneath the surface.
Priced from €3150 EUR / $3585 USD / £2810 GBP SRP, The Bora Ultra WTO is - without doubt - the pinnacle of modern wheelset engineering and Italian design.
It takes time to make wheels this fast
Like all #campagnolo wheels and groupsets, the Bora Ultra WTO has been designed, developed, tested and produced - from start to finish - entirely in house. Every element is Campagnolo’s own - be it spoke, rim or hub - and part of a cohesive and uncompromising vision for speed. The new wheels have been nearly 3 years of dedicated research and development in the making and employ several innovative Campagnolo-patented technologies designed to increase speed, improve aerodynamics and reduce weight.
Aero Mo-Mag™
The Bora Ultra WTO (WTO denoting ‘Wind Tunnel Optimised’) is designed to offer unparalleled aerodynamic performance in real-world conditions. To achieve this, #campagnolo has introduced Aero Mo-Mag™ internal nipples. Hidden inside the rim, this latest iteration of Campagnolo’s Mo-Mag™ technology allows for cleaner and more efficient airflow when coupled with Campagnolo’s aero elliptical spokes. Aerodynamics isn’t the only benefit of the patented technology, as the Mo-Mag™ system allows #campagnolo to mould the nipple and valve holes into the rims, negating entirely the need to drill holes in the carbon fiber. This increases internal strength, and reduces localised stress, which in turn increases the wheelset’s fatigue life. Internalising the nipples in such a way also guarantees perfect alignment, resulting in an even more accurate wheel build.
The benefits don’t stop there however, as no drilled holes in the 2-Way Fit rim bed means no need for rim tape, so fitting tubeless, tubeless-ready and clincher tires proves a seamless affair. The Aero Mo-Mag™ system even averts the traditional pitfalls of internal nipples by guaranteeing ease-of-adjustment with a supplied tool, meaning spoke tension can be increased or decreased, even with the tire still in place. Equally important is Campagnolo’s construction with glass-fiber reinforced polymer plates between the rim and the nipple to improve the leaning and the fatigue life of the system reducing loads and corrosion probability.
H.U.L.C Construction
The Bora Ultra WTO’s rims have been completely redesigned across the range with both weight-loss and continued WTO performance in mind. The new rims, aerodynamically optimised for 25mm tires, are constructed from Campagnolo’s Hand Made Ultra-Light Carbon. H.U.L.C is the result of extensive development over decades of in-house carbon fiber moulding, enabling Campagnolo’s engineers to optimise the usage of both fiber and bonding resin for the perfect blend of strength, stiffness and light weight. This means the Bora Ultra WTO tips the scales at just 1425g in the 45mm rim format.
C-LUX Finish
Fast wheels must look the part too however, so the rim (and front hub) also sports a stunning mirror-like #campagnolo Luxury (C-LUX) finish. This C-LUX finish is so pristinely smooth that it doesn’t require lacquer, saving weight. When applied to the rim bed, as #campagnolo has done for the first time with its new Bora Ultra WTO, the scientific precision of C-LUX also helps to ensure the safest possible seating of tubeless tires and further reduces the risk of abrasions to the bead.
