Campagnolo Bora Ultra WTO 60 2WF C23 Disc Wheelset

The Campagnolo Bora Ultra WTO 60 2WF C23 Disc Wheelset is Campagnolo's top-tier aero road disc wheel — a 60mm deep carbon clincher built for riders who want maximum aerodynamic performance without compromising the tire versatility that modern road riding requires. WTO stands for Wind Tunnel Optimized, and it names both the rim profile and spoke geometry, each tuned specifically for real-world crosswind conditions rather than idealized tunnel scenarios. These wheels are designed for flat and rolling terrain where aerodynamic advantage compounds over sustained high-speed efforts. They're available in three freehub configurations — N3W, HG11, and XDR — covering Campagnolo, Shimano, and SRAM drivetrain platforms.

The rims are constructed using Campagnolo's HULC — High Ultimate Layup Concept — carbon manufacturing process, which allows engineers to vary the carbon fiber orientation and layup thickness throughout the rim cross-section rather than using a uniform approach. This places structural material precisely where stiffness and strength are needed, particularly around the braking surface and spoke bed zones that experience the highest loads on a disc brake wheel. The resulting profile is drop-shaped — a geometry Campagnolo developed to reduce aerodynamic drag compared to more traditional toroidal cross-sections. At 60mm, this is the deepest option in the standard Bora Ultra WTO road range and the most aero-focused depth choice in the lineup. The C23 designation marks the rim's wider internal channel, an update that allows the wheel to support modern tire sizing properly — the wider rim bed lets 28mm and wider tires open to their intended profile, both improving handling and creating a cleaner tire-to-rim aerodynamic transition.

The spoke architecture has been updated from previous Bora generations, with slimmer aero profiles that reduce drag compared to their predecessors. Campagnolo finishes the spoke bed with Mo-Mag nipples — a proprietary design that locks inside the rim bed, entirely out of the airstream passing over the exterior of the wheel. Hiding the nipples internally eliminates the turbulence that exposed nipples create and contributes to the clean exterior profile the WTO aerodynamic system depends on. The 2WF — 2-Way Fit — rim construction means the Bora Ultra WTO 60 runs tubeless or with an inner tube. The tubeless rim bed seats tire beads securely, and the design supports the lower-pressure tubeless setups that reduce rolling resistance on rough road surfaces without adding rotational weight.

The rear hub is built on Campagnolo's N3W freehub body, engineered to support 13-speed Super Record Wireless and Record Wireless cassettes while maintaining compatibility with 11 and 12-speed Campagnolo groupsets. Riders building around Shimano or SRAM can order the wheelset with an HG11 driver (for Shimano and SRAM 11-speed cassettes) or XDR driver (for SRAM's 12-speed AXS cassettes) instead. The spoke lacing pattern and hub flange geometry work with the HULC rim to produce the lateral stiffness disc brake systems require — the caliper applies braking force to the rotor rather than the rim, placing different structural demands on the hub and spoke interface than rim brake wheels encounter. Campagnolo's engineering here addresses that directly.

The Bora Ultra WTO 60 is the right wheel when you're building a disc road setup and want aerodynamic depth working consistently in your favor. On flat courses, in fast group rides, and any time you're sustaining speed above 25mph for meaningful stretches, the 60mm rim earns its place over shallower alternatives. The C23 internal width aligns with how most road riders are building their bikes today — wider tires, tubeless setups, more compliance without a weight penalty — and the multi-platform freehub compatibility means these wheels fit into almost any current drivetrain build. Campagnolo has been manufacturing carbon road wheels since the 1990s, and the Bora Ultra WTO line represents where that decades-long arc of wheel engineering stands today.
