About
We’re a UK company, but we operate flexibly and founder Andrew spends most of his time working remotely in Italy where the quiet roads and good weather facilitate a better training environment. Our wheels however are hand-built in the UK by expert builders with many years’ experience.
Zolla was set up to address a gap in the market. Current carbon wheel offerings sell on headlines. Fractions of a watt’s aerodynamic advantage at 45km/h, or a few grams of weight saving. For us, strength and build quality are key, whilst maintaining the vast majority of weight and aero advantages carbon rims can offer.
