Campagnolo Bora Ultra Review

Campagnolo Bora Ultra wheelset is one of the few of the Italian brand that is dedicated to the clincher. These wheels are full carbon, so you will have to pay a bit for these tires. These wheels have a number of distinctive features. For starters, the wheels are unpainted so the rider can save weight on the wheels. Also, the wheelset is equipped with Campagnolo’s CULT bearing system that keeps the tires always rolling and causes no drag. These are only some of the advantages offered by Campagnolo Bora Ultra.

The Bora Ultra rims measure at 35mm of depth and 24.2mm of width at the brake track. Internal rim width is 17.4mm. The carbon the tires are made from is very tightly woven, so the wheels overall look sharper. The rim profile is quite traditional and has no new features to speak of. However, the tires do have Dynamic Balance tech to align the carbon fiber fabric for better balance. The break track has been treated with the 3Diamant surface, which is a technique where diamond-tipped machines are used to eliminate any imperfections on the brake surface.

What’s truly unique about Bora Ultra wheels are the hubs. The hubs may differ depending on the price you pay. The more expensive wheels have carbon hub shells and CULT ceramic bearings mentioned above. The hubs are connected to the rims with basic stainless steel spokes and external nipples. This design makes these wheels really easy to repair or service later. The rear wheels have a G3 spoke pattern, something the brand has mastered. Overall, these wheels have increased lateral stiffness that helps riders tackle road vibrations.

+Pros:

  • Extra steps taken to remove weight off wheels
  • Dynamic Balance tech
  • Perfected brake track
  • Easy to repair
  • Good lateral stiffness

-Cons:

  • Expensive

The Verdict

Campagnolo Bora Ultra is an expensive but feature packed wheelset that will last with riders for a long time. Buy it especially if you are bothered by road vibrations.

The Campagnolo Bora Ultra 35 Wheelset features CULT Ceramic bearings, which provide extreme smoothness, the lowest friction coefficient thanks to oil lubrication and are 9 times more efficient than standard bearings and will spin for up to 47 minutes after being run at 500rpms. Campagnolo engineering staff have developed a new construction that provides a braking performance superior to other carbon rims. The AC3 (All Condition Carbon Control) technology not only improves braking in the dry but boosts performance by 43% over past Campagnolo models and nearly 55% over that of its closest rivals when the roads get wet. Apart from the obvious textured braking surface the construction of the new Bora wheels also underwent internal improvement to ensure maximum integrity when faced with the increased force and heat deriving from the new braking surface. One of the biggest changes and improvements to the Bora Ultra 35 Wheelset is the increased rim width, moving from 20.5 to 24.2 mm. This allows the Bora Ultra 35 Wheelset to improve its aerodynamic properties and house wider tyres, thus increasing the control and creating a more comfortable ride. The wider rim also contributes to an increase in structural strength, thus increasing the already lauded resistance and reliability of the Bora family. The wider rim also contributes to an increase in structural strength, thus increasing the already lauded resistance and reliability of the Bora family. The benefits continue, as the wider rim creates a stronger structure with less need for material intended for structural reinforcement decreasing the overall weight of the wheel. If you, like pros, want the very best on the market then look no further than the Campagnolo Bora Ultra 35 Wheelset.
