  • Core Wheelset

    The Bossi Core delivers the performance and ride quality expected from our top-tier wheelsets, paired with the durability and value that make it suitable for the demands of everyday riding. It’s a fast, efficient, and dependable wheelset built to perform across a wide range of terrain and conditions.

    Available in 40mm and 50mm rim depths, the Core gives riders the choice between reduced weight or increased aerodynamic efficiency on fast, rolling terrain. Both profiles use a refined carbon layup paired with a 23mm internal width and a hooked rim design for excellent tyre support, broad compatibility, and a straightforward tubeless setup. The Core uses a 1:1 spoke pattern with Sapim CX-Ray spokes - the benchmark for performance in steel aero spokes. This lacing provides consistent lateral stiffness, predictable handling, stability under braking, and straightforward serviceability.

    At the centre is the new Bossi Core hubset, fitted with TPI steel bearings chosen for their balance of smooth rolling, durability, and long-term reliability. Each wheelset is fully hand-built in-house, allowing us to control every detail of the build - spoke tension, true, and balance. A properly hand-built wheel resists fatigue, stays true for longer, and maintains its performance characteristics over many seasons of riding.

    Aesthetically, the Core features a clean raw UD finish with laser-engraved logos that won’t scratch, peel, or fade. Purposeful, understated, and consistent with the design values across the Bossi lineup.

    The Core is built for discerning cyclists who want a dependable performance wheelset that delivers meaningful speed, stiffness, and quality without unnecessary cost. It’s a performance wheelset that withstands the pressures of real-world riding and keeps delivering year after year.
