The new Khamsin™ wheels are the highest expression of the technological capacity of Campagnolo® which is able to make wheels with the performance required for racing at a truly affordable price. The rims of the Khamsin™ wheels have a ground braking surface, to provide powerful modulable braking, and a wear indicator. The G3™ spoking optimizes transfer of the power generated by the athlete and improves the wheel's lateral rigidity. The front has 24 spokes (3x8) and the rear 27 (3x9). The hubs are in light alloy with an oversize body and sealed high-precision bearings while the freewheel body is monolithic. The very latest Khamsin™ wheels are all-rounders suitable both for everyday use and for competitions. Khamsin™ wheels are also available with a Gold surface treatment, both for the hubs and rims, which gives a touch of novelty and uniqueness to the bike. |
The historical name which for many years has been a synonym for an aerodynamic wheel is back on the top again thanks to the Shamal™ Ultra™, the synthesis of fifteen years of evolution of high-performance wheels for racing bikes. The super-new Shamal™ Ultra™ wheels incorporate all the innovations of recent years, consolidated in a product without paragon in terms of performance, strength, life and reliability. The light alloy rims come from selected extrusions and are CNC-machined to optimize the mechanical specifications; they are welded rims with a ground braking surface and the spaces between the spokes are lightened by toroidal grinding. The rim is dynamically balanced; in other words the imbalance of the mass as a result of the non-equivalence of weight between joint and valve is compensated by the extension of the toroidal grinding. The top bridge of the rim is not drilled in the traditional way to fit the nipples, so that the use of rim-tape is pointless and the system is lightened further as a result. Both the spokes and nipples and in light alloy, to provide rigidity, lightness and aerodynamics at an absolute level. The central body of the hubs is made of carbon and the flanges of aluminium, specially machined to lighten them; the axle is in light alloy while the 15-ball bearings are adjustable, and also available optionally in ceramic in the best Campagnolo® tradition. The right-hand flange of the rear hub is oversized to maximize torsional rigidity and therefore drive torque transfer. The cam lever of the release mechanism is actuated bilaterally and symmetrically. The result of all this design and manufacturing refinement is a light but strong wheel, snappy and reactive, laterally and torsionally rigid, but sufficiently comfortable in longer races. |
These are the entry-level wheels of Campagnolo's medium-profile range. The rims consist of a 24 mm medium-profile extrusion, the sides of which are ground to improve the quality of the braking action, and feature special eyelets that offer greater resistance to spoke tension. Both wheels sport Campagnolo’s exclusive G3 spoking. |
 Bora™ Ultra™ wheels are the wheels designed for speed par excellence. Perfect aerodynamics and maximum power transmission combined with extraordinary lightness make them the benchmark wheels for leading racing professionals.The 50-mm rims are made from structural carbon which imparts great lightness and stiffness. The hubs are made from structural carbon of variable thickness, have spherical surfaces, feature Record™-class components with aluminium axle and a single body for freewheel and pawl carrier. The rear hub features an oversize aluminium flange on the right side which enhances the features of the G3™ spoking. Radial spoking and G3™ spoking are used on the front and rear wheels respectively. Nominal weight is just 1,305 g. Bora™ Ultra™ wheels are fitted with new quick releases with levers in cold-forged aluminium with two pivots for more balanced clamping. |
Ghibli road wheels use the famous ultra-light oversize Record-class hubs, which keep weight to a minimum and ensure unprecedented performance and easy maintenance. For both indoor races and road time-trials, riders seeking maximum speed can only choose Ghibli wheels - as the list of victories clearly goes to show. |
The greatest aerodynamic performance (side wind permitting) is achieved by disc wheels and Ghibli disc wheels definitely take pride of place, thanks to their exceptional lightness combined with extreme stiffness. Ghibli wheels have a tenso-structure which instead of spokes utilizes a special fiber (borrowed from the aerospace industry) which is pre-tensioned in the manufacturing stage to ensure exceptionally efficient pedal-power transmission despite its exceptional lightness.
