Campagnolo Bora One 50 Clinchers – first look

At a claimed 1,485g for a 50mm deep profile and with a redesigned wider 24.2mm rim, Campagnolo’s clincher version of their highly popular Bora 50 wheelset look like a top notch set of rims.

They use Campag’s own G3 spoke pattern in combination with their Ultra Smooth Bearings housed in aluminium hubs, and also incorporate the Dynamic Rim Balance system, where the opposite side to the valve is designed to balance out the weight and ensure the wheel rolls smoothly.

The brake pads have also been redesigned to give a claimed 40% performance increase in the wet. Price: £1,529 from www.campagnolo.com. For our complete guide to 2015’s best race wheels, head here.
