Campagnolo Bora WTO 60 2WF C23 Disc Wheelset

There are wheels built for controlled environments — velodrome sessions, closed circuits, ideal conditions. Then there are wheels built for the road as it actually exists: crosswinds, rough tarmac, variable weather, and the kind of long, aggressive efforts that separate riders who trust their equipment from those who don't. The Campagnolo Bora WTO 60 2WF C23 Disc Wheelset belongs firmly in the second category. WTO stands for Wind Tunnel Optimised, and the name carries real meaning — the aerodynamic profile here was developed around real-world yaw angles, not just the straight-ahead tunnel numbers that flatter a wheel on paper but underdeliver on open open roads.

At 60mm deep, this is the most aggressive rim depth in the Bora WTO family. That depth is purpose-built to convert sustained power into sustained speed — the kind of advantage that compounds over the course of a long breakaway, a hard-paced group ride, or a solo effort where every watt counts. Campagnolo's HULC carbon construction process keeps weight in check without compromising the structural integrity you want from a deep-section disc wheel. The drop-shaped rim profile and aero Mo-Mag nipples — locked inside the rim and out of the airflow — contribute to what Campagnolo describes as a meaningful reduction in aerodynamic drag compared to previous generations. The spoke configuration works in concert with the rim geometry to reduce turbulence at the yaw angles you actually encounter on open roads.

The C23 internal rim width marks a genuine shift in how these wheels interact with modern tyre setups. Running a wider tyre — 28mm or beyond — is no longer a compromise. A C23 rim is designed to work with contemporary tyre widths, producing a more favourable tyre cross-section that can improve both aerodynamics and ride quality simultaneously. Add tubeless compatibility and you have a wheelset that rewards you with lower running pressures, reduced rolling resistance, and added compliance on rough surfaces where rigid, high-pressure setups give ground. The 2WF designation refers to the two-way fit tubeless system — meaning you can run tubeless or retain the option to run a traditional clincher with an inner tube, depending on conditions or preference.

Design Benefits

1. Real-World Aerodynamics: The WTO development process prioritises performance across a range of yaw angles — not just in idealised head-on airflow. The result is a deep-section tubeless wheel that holds its aerodynamic advantage in crosswinds and variable conditions, not just on calm, straight roads where any deep rim looks fast on paper.
2. HULC Carbon Construction: Campagnolo's HULC process is designed to produce a carbon rim that is both light and structurally robust. For a 60mm disc wheel, that balance matters — deep rims carry a weight penalty only when the layup process isn't optimised, and HULC is Campagnolo's answer to keeping rotational mass in check without thinning out the structure where it counts.
3. C23 Rim Width and Tyre Compatibility: The 23mm internal width is built around the reality that most performance road cyclists are now running 28mm to 32mm tyres. The wider internal channel allows the tyre to form a more rounded, aerodynamically efficient profile — a benefit that narrow rims undermine regardless of how fast the rim itself may be.
4. 2WF Tubeless System: The two-way fit design means you can run this wheelset tubeless for lower pressures and reduced puncture risk, or revert to a traditional clincher setup with an inner tube when the situation calls for it. That flexibility makes the Bora WTO 60 a practical choice across different riding conditions, not just a fair-weather race day option.
5. Drivetrain Versatility: Available with three freehub options — Campagnolo N3W, HG11 for Shimano and SRAM 11-speed systems, and XDR for SRAM's 12-speed Eagle and AXS groupsets — the Bora WTO 60 integrates cleanly with the most widely used road drivetrain standards without requiring adapters or workarounds.

Final Take

The Campagnolo Bora WTO 60 is built for riders who want a fast, deep-section disc wheelset that performs beyond race day — one that handles real roads, supports modern tyre widths, and doesn't ask you to choose between tubeless convenience and race-ready performance. If you're riding hard on open roads and want Campagnolo's aerodynamic engineering working for you across conditions rather than just in ideal ones, this is the wheelset to consider.
