Campagnolo Bora WTO 33 Carbon Clincher Wheelset - Shimano/SRAM - Dark Label;
Brand: Campagnolo
The BoraTM WTO 33 stands out amongst the current line-up for its extreme versatility. While certainly not the only element in an efficient wheel, the rim is certainly the largest component in the build and as a result the recipient of a great deal of attention in terms of development. The Campagnolo carbon fibre BoraTM WTO rims represent the maximum in terms of not only aerodynamic profile design but versatile aerodynamic design. If a wheel is to provide greater aero efficiency it must do so in real world conditions which present many variables and very few constants. Mother Nature does not create wind in a uniform manner or from the same direction. At the same time, racecourses aren’t typically straight nor do riders maintain a perfect position as if in the wind tunnel atop a trainer. With that in mind, Campagnolo engineers set about to account for all of these variables in what has come to represent perhaps the most comprehensive aerodynamic study ever performed by the company to produce wheels that are WIND TUNNEL OPTIMIZED for real world conditions. The BoraTM WTO 33 carbon fibre rim takes a versatile aerodynamic design and adds an even more versatile rim depth making for a wheelset that is even better poised to take on varied terrain, courses and conditions. The lower profile is even more adept at slipping through side winds and confers an even higher degree of handling when averse and variable wind conditions are at play. The BoraTM WTO rim shape at 77,60 and 45mm are efficient to the point that it not only reduces drag, but at certain angles is capable of reducing it to the point of negative drag, almost pushing the wheel forward. The 33mm rim depth on the other hand confers a similar performance advantage while doing so in a more versatile and lighter weight package. While most aero projects concentrate solely on the rim, the WTO project took a comprehensive look at the entire wheel, ensuring that all components in its build confer aerodynamic efficiencies to the complete unit. To complement the new standard in aero rims both the hub and the spokes were redesigned to ensure a complete aero unit. The BoraTM WTO 33 incorporates the same aero hubs and spokes first seen on the WTO 77 and 60mm wheels. The hubs are constructed from aluminium and follow the same design premise of the rim in that it must be aerodynamically efficient in a versatile manner. Slimmer towards the centre and growing in width towards the flanges where it connects with new 3D aero profile spokes. The efficient wheel is appreciated when out on the road, and as such must be tested, developed and conceived considering the tire with which it is built. The research into making a more efficient rim already called for a wider stance in general but the 19mm inner width provided the multiple benefit of a better performing rim design, better fit with the larger tire sizes (25 and 28mm while compatible also with 23mm) and an overall more efficient complete unit (tire + rim).
