Characteristics of the Campagnolo BORA WTO 45 wheels

SUPERIOR CONTROL AT EXTREME SPEED

Possess pure control. The instantly recognisable G3 lacing ensures maximum stiffness and cornering precision – and stunning, premium aesthetics. Fly around tight bends and carve the perfect line on wider C23 rims, fitting wider tyres.

LIGHTWEIGHT FOR REACTIVE CHANGES OF PACE

Feel weightless. The BORA ULTRA WTO is made from Handmade Ultra-Light Carbon (H.U.L.C.), with an N3W carbon-fibre freewheel hub and C-LUX lacquer-free finish. This profound combination minimises weight by over 100 g across all profile heights compared to the previous model.

UNMATCHED AERODYNAMICS

Become speed. Unleash powerful sprints and save your power while drafting. The aerodynamically optimised rim profile, plus Aero Mo-Mag technology, gives you reduced drag power across-the-board. The unique ‘drop-shape’ rim profile takes inspiration from the most aerodynamic shape in nature to deliver exceptional performance and ride comfort.

G3 SPOKE GEOMETRY

Campagnolo’s iconic G3 geometry challenges the conventional configuration of wheel spokes on racing bikes. Groups of three parallel straight-pull spokes are in fact arranged in a ratio of 2:1. Having twice as many spokes on one side allows wheels with G3 technology to achieve perfectly balanced tensions, increasing stiffness and improving energy transfer. An iconic design with unique style that helps to improve load absorption and reduce weights. The G3 spoke pattern also has a positive effect on the steering experience: the original triplet pattern reduces perceived vibrations, minimizing micro-deformation of the rim under tension and its response to stressors on the course. G3 geometry is designed with optimized solutions for front and back wheels. The front one has more spokes on the disc side to absorb braking loads. Whereas on the back one the same loads are transferred to twice the number of spokes on the cassette side through the monolithic hub body: an intuitive idea that enables functioning during both braking and energy transfer during pedaling. The G3 spoke pattern is used on Bora WTO and Bora Ultra WTO racing wheels, wheels in the Shamal family and on all the aluminum wheels in the Campagnolo collection.
