Campagnolo Bora Ultra TT Disc Tubular Wheel

The Bora Ultra TT has always accompanied the greatest chrono men in cycling in their attempts to win international time trial medals.

In the race against time, the stop watch is your most feared adversary. To have an advantage over him you need not only great physical condition but also a technological advantage in the form of the best equipment.

Cult Bearings (Ceramic Ultimate Level Technology) is a combination of the highest quality ceramic ball bearings and stainless steel races available on the market, to reduce friction to the very minimum yet maintain a consistently high level of performance for long periods of time.

Campagnolo engineers have worked painstakingly to produce the newest evolution of the disk wheel, the Bora Ultra TT. Campagnolo continues a long history of TT victories with the Bora Ultra TT and with its extreme lightweight, efficient aerodynamics, low rolling resistance and highly reactive performance this wheel is sure to bring home an even longer list of victories.

Technology

CULT - Ceramic Ultimate Level Technology

Campagnolo’s finest ceramic bearings are fitted to only the very best hubs and cranksets, and are a significant upgrade from all other bearings. Their premium quality ceramic balls are incredibly round and hard, and rotate within wear-resistant stainless steel races, which are engineered to micron-precise tolerances, maximising efficiency and durability. They won’t deform or corrode, perform consistently over time, and only need periodic cleaning then lubricating with light synthetic oil.

CULT bearings have a friction coefficient 40% lower than standard sealed bearings, and in tests, can spin for 5 ½ times longer.

AC3

It is a general consensus of opinion within the cycling world is that one of the major drawbacks of the carbon fibre racing rim is the reduced rim braking performance in the wet. To combat this problem Campagnolo has developed the All Conditions Carbon Control, or AC3 Technology.

The introduction of the meticulously researched textured design of the rim brake area creates a surefooted stopping power that is reliable and potent no matter what the weather will throw at you. On the Campagnolo Bora rim brake wheelset range, under dry conditions, the new technology increases braking performance by 3% compared to the previous Bora while increasing the distance from its closest competitor by over 6%. However, it is when the weather conditions deteriorate that the AC3 technology permits the Bora to excel increasing braking performance an astonishing 43% over previous Campagnolo models.

The powerful braking of AC3 represents a nearly 55% performance gap over that of its closest competitor making for a significant advantage when the heat of the race is on.

Campagnolo Wheel Identification Card

Since its birth over 80 years ago Campagnolo has been dedicated to continuous innovation in order to produce the best, most competitive and reliable products possible. To continually push the limits in this way is the work of the engineers of the Campy Tech Lab. Even the smallest details and material choices are painstakingly scrutinised in an effort to produce what is often to become the newest performance standard. As a result, our testing department is one of the most important areas of the entire operation and each and every product must go through strenuous and extreme testing before it earns the right to bear the Campagnolo name. Campagnolo test at levels above and beyond anything required and as a result produce products that are a step ahead.

• Fatigue test: before the manufacturing stage, each wheel and each of its components are subjected to long and very challenging tests that ensure the durability and performance over time.
• Crash test: simulates the impact of the wheel in differing situations. Campagnolo crash tests have successfully passed all requirements stipulated by the UCI.
• Tyre burst test: all Campagnolo wheels are tested at inflation pressures well above those indicated on the tyre.
• Environment test: exposure to UVA and UVB rays, salt attack and exposure to moisture: these are the tests that all Campagnolo wheels must pass to ensure maximum performance and reliability over time.

100% Manually assembled and Electronically checked.

The extensive attention to detail and testing mentioned above may be sufficient for some companies to ensure the quality of their product but not for Campagnolo. To ensure the quality of each and every wheel the standards applied to the production process must be then verified on each and every final product at the end of fabrication. Campagnolo made a clear and bold decision: to assemble each wheel manually and submit it to a series of final inspections that guarantee their quality.

Only through in-depth inspection, both manual and digital, of each and every piece of every final product that leaves the premises can Campagnolo be 100% sure of the exact same quality for each and every wheel that bears the Campagnolo name.

• Balancing: guarantees the absence of vibrations at fast speed.
• Lateral and radial control: guarantees the perfect alignment of the wheel to ensure precise rolling of the wheel.
• Camber: ensures the perfect symmetry of the wheels with the bicycle.
• Spokes tension: ensures optimal balance at every point of the wheel.
• Rolling torque of the hub: ensures a perfect adjustment of the hubs.

Certilogo

Campagnolo and Certilogo against counterfeiting: a tangible answer that protects our clients’ safety and purchases.

Top-end Campagnolo wheels are considered by the market and by afi cionados to be reference products and as such are highly desirable. They have therefore also become appetising to counterfeiters who have cloned some of our models (especially those in carbon fibre) releasing considerable numbers onto the international markets. The wheel is a performance product, but also a safety component. This aspect means that those who purchase a fake product, while saving money on something that clearly costs much less than the going market price, puts their personal safety at great risk. The materials and production processes that together help to achieve a safe performing product are obviously not the same.

With the aim of fighting and combating these counterfeiters, Campagnolo is the first in the cycling sector to have put in place, thanks to the support of Certilogo, a control system that enables our clients to authenticate the product simply and immediately.

Starting with the products in the 2015 catalogue, each pair of Campagnolo wheels in the Bora and Hyperon lines will come with an individual ID code (the Certilogo Code or CLG Code) on a swing tag attached to a spoke on the wheel and, from July 2018, on an adhesive stuck to the rear wheel.

The Certilogo Code (in both numerical and QR code format) will allow anyone, before or after purchase, to check that the product is authentic. To authenticate Campagnolo wheels, just visit www.certilogo.com, insert the CLG Code or download the Certilogo APP.

We suggest you keep the Campagnolo Original Wheels tag even after product authentication for possible future use and, for wheels bought from July 2018 on, leaving the sticker with the Certilogo Code on the wheel.

Features

Wheel Developed For The Time Trial Frame

Extremely stiff structure further eliminates flex near the bottom bracket, namely where the rear brake is positioned on most time trial frames, thus avoiding any possible friction with the brake itself.

Full High Modulus Carbon Rim For Tubular Braking Surface

Newly developed full carbon rim uses carbon braking surface in an effort to add uniform braking performance in addition to saving weight.

Brake Pads Made Especially For Carbon Wheels

The new blend increases the brake performance on both dry and wet surfaces without increasing the wear and tear on the pad or wheel.

Full Carbon Disc In A Specially Developed Weave Profile

Extreme new design reduces profile on both drive and non-drive sides for an even slimmer and more aerodynamic design.

Graphics Featuring The “Winged Wheel”

The legendary Campagnolo “Winged Wheel” logo identifies Campagnolo lenticular wheels that use the very latest carbon fibre technologies.
