The Bora Ultra rims measure at 35mm of depth and 24.2mm of width at the brake track. Internal rim width is 17.4mm. The carbon the tires are made from is very tightly woven, so the wheels overall look sharper. The rim profile is quite traditional and has no new features to speak of. However, the tires do have Dynamic Balance tech to align the carbon fiber fabric for better balance. The break track has been treated with the 3Diamant surface, which is a technique where diamond-tipped machines are used to eliminate any imperfections on the brake surface.
