Campagnolo expands its high-end road wheel collection with the Ultra WTO and the WTO. The next-generation Bora wheels boast enhanced aerodynamics and reduced weight, appealing to demanding cyclists and those seeking the top tier of performance. Both models feature the G3 spoke pattern for efficient energy transfer and a 23mm internal rim width for improved aerodynamics. The Ultra WTO is also is equipped with Ceramic Ultimate Level Technology (CULT) bearings. Additionally, the Aero Mo-Mag technology with internal spoke nipples enhances aerodynamics across all Bora WTO wheels.
The drop-shaped profile of the Bora rim and tire integration results in a 13% linear reduction in drag, with improvements in side wind performance. The rim weight of the high-end road wheels is reduced by up to 135 grams through the Handmade Ultra-Light Carbon (H.U.L.C.) molding process. The Ultra WTO rims weigh 420 grams per set, and WTO rims weigh 550 grams per set.
High-End Road Wheels
Campagnolo Introduces Two New Bora Models, the Ultra WTO and WTO
Trend Themes
