33mm Ultra Rims
At the heart of the Bora WTO Ultra 33 are the revolutionary Ultra rims with a 33mm lenticular profile. Compared to standard rims, the Ultra version employs a different type of carbon fiber that allows for a reduction in the wall thickness of the 20% with the same stiffness.
The result is lighter but still extremely stiff and high performance rims. Thanks to this innovation, the Bora WTO Ultra 33s manage to drop to a weight of only 1250 grams for the complete set, a benchmark in the industry.
C-LUX shockproof technology
Despite the reduction in thickness, the Ultra rims of the Bora WTO 33 maintain excellent impact and fatigue resistance thanks to the unique C-LUX technology developed by Campagnolo.
Special polycrystalline liquid resin makes rims up to 50% more resistant to stress, allowing them to be lightened without compromising durability and safety.
Profile design G3 symmetrical

MoMag technology for centering
Bora WTO Ultra 33s incorporate the unique MoMag system developed by Campagnolo to maintain wheel centering over time.

Ceramic USB Bearings

The wheel feels stiffer and ready to turn any slightest stress into immediate acceleration, giving an extremely responsive pedaling feel.
Excellent handling and comfort
Despite their lenticular profile, the Bora WTO Ultra 33s are exceptionally easy to handle even in crosswinds. Credit to the non-excessive section of the 33 mm rims.
