With the new Bora WTO 45, Campagnolo has focused on producing the most efficient wheels possible in terms of decreasing rolling resistance as the cyclist moves and maximising aerodynamic efficiency.
The acronym WTO - WIND TUNNEL OPTIMIZED – calls to mind the environment that the team of Campy Tech Lab engineers worked in to meet these challenging project objectives. The new Bora WTO 45 wheels feature exclusive design characteristics that establish new standards in aerodynamic efficiency. Directly from the wind tunnel to the market, the pair of Bora WTO 45 wheels is destined to become the necessary choice every time a cyclist faces a route that requires average speeds of more than 40 km/h.
MAIN BENEFITS
The most aerodynamic
• The rim design enables the maximum amount of aerodynamic penetration when the wind angle is between 12° and 19°, making it a thrust for triathlon athletes.
• The streamlined design of the central part of the hub decreases the frontal area of the component whilst the special design of the flanges favours airflow detachment.
• The 18-spoke elliptical cross section in the front and 21-spoke rear cross section in the rear result in a far superior rolling resistance of the cross sections compared to competitor wheels.
The smoothest
• The well-known USB cup-and-cone bearing system guarantees smoothness in the ceramic bearings.
• The 2-Way Fit profile allows you to mount either a clincher tyre or a tubular tyre, with less rolling resistance: the Tubeless.
• The C19 class allows you to mount tyres from 23, 25 to 28 mm, with perfect pairing of the rim-tyre system.
Choose aero... but make it Campagnolo
• Campagnolo's rideability remains high despite the focus on aerodynamics.
• The wheel structure enables reducing energy dissipation, transferring all the energy produced by the cyclist to the asphalt.
• A 45 mm profile and a weight of 1,528 g for the pair makes this wheel ideal for riding on routes that enable going more than 40 km/h.
