I saw that this week. I find it weird because when they put a product on the website it means it is available or will shortly. But they never announced anything and even Campy North America has no idea whatsoever. So is it a mistake? who knows! I remember when Campy said they would never produce clinchers for the Bora line because they were designed for racing. We will know shortly if they announce something at Eurobike. If they do make them, i'm sure they will be bulletproof. Don't hear alot of complaints with hyperon clinchers.

So it is official. Campy just sent a press release about the new bora 35 and 50 clinchers. They kept it secret untill the last moment.

Looking at Campy's listing on there website there sure seems to be - it even lists a weight of 1435 Gram for Bora 50 Ultra's
http://www.campagnolo.com/CA/en/Wheels/bora_ultra_50
and 1370 for 35 Ultra's

Maybe this is why Campy didn't a 30mm Version of the new Fulcrum 30mm

There is already a thread open in the wheels section.
I posted a link for the press release.

LOL - I agree. On balance I'm favourable as the weights are good, and clinchers are fine ... just not as good.
I will be after the fat 35s ... in tubular format ...

I'm wondering about this as well. Fulcrum hasn't made any announcements regarding their 2015 Racing Speed wheels yet
Fulcrum already has the 35 and 50mm called racing speed with the older rim profile. Its only a matter of time before they announce the new wheels with the new 24mm wide rim. You can bet they will have the clincher model in the lineup.
