NEW BORA X WHEELS

The Campagnolo philosophy dictates that each groupset is matched with a wheel, as only the synergy between components from the same family ensures the best performance. Hence the development of the new Bora X wheel, developed from the same observation that led to launching the Super Record X groupset: gravel racing is increasingly aligning with the competitive dynamics of road racing and requires speed, aerodynamics, and control.

Therefore, the new Bora X brings the same racing characteristics as the prestigious road version to off-road cycling. Designed in the wind tunnel and tested on rough terrain, this wheel is built for speed, control, and vibration absorption in a variety of conditions.

The Bora X has been designed with a 50 mm profile and a 27 mm hooked rim, compatible with tires starting from 35 mm. The unidirectional fiber layup, depending on workload, is an adaptation of the road version, while the spoke pattern – despite inheriting the same G3 lacing geometry, an iconic Campagnolo feature – has been modified to meet the typical demands of fast gravel riding. The seven three-spoke sets use two different types of spokes per side: aerodynamic spokes on the cassette side of the rear wheel and on the brake disc side of the front wheel, to improve the aerodynamic penetration of a moving body and minimize frame turbulence; on the opposite sides, however, elliptical spokes, which are lighter and ideal for absorbing vibrations from the terrain and balancing the rigidity of the entire wheel.

The graphic layout is consistent with the reference groupset, with the same black chrome foil “X” logo, recalling the specific design for gravel riding, along with the Campagnolo signature on one side and the iconic Winged Wheel on the other.

All of which for a weight of 1,430 grams, which ensures responsive acceleration and excellent control, as well as great solidity on the roughest terrain.
