Given the pros have already done millions of miles on them across all terrain, including at speeds over 100km/h I think we'll be ok
My Bora 35s will be coming out for Majorca next weekend, and I won't be losing sleep tonight over lateral flex ... LOL

Anyway, back to the video: the bloke clearly had some kind of allergic reaction to the sun. Couldn't they have picked another guy-with-accent to do the video speaking roles?

Ahh what about hubs, preload, fork, QRs etc.? I remember once reading that a stiff wheel is actually more likely to cause rub if the preload or qr pressure is not right. As far as I knew the Boras are supposed to be rock solid wheels. Admittedly I have little knowledge in the subject but it is quite interesting.
It's hard to tell but that may not be "flex". Could be that the water on the tire is reflecting light so it looks like it's wobbling. You would need a very high-speed camera to determine for sure. I think my front wheel is wobbly whenever it gets dirt / wet on it but it's just an illusion. Wheel is still actually true.
Yes, in short it's impossible to conclude what is going on.
Note however:
- the rider didn't look phased by it
- the bike, wheels and all, won bike of the year
BORAS = epic wheels

After my Bora was broken in, the the rear hub had slight play in it and needed tightened. I think this is common. I have 2 sets of Boras (35 clincher and 50 tubular). They are a robust build with good braking and light in weight. I do not notice any lateral flex when climbing or sprinting.

It's all downhill from here, except for the uphills.
