The “Shamal” project has always represented a challenge for Campagnolo towards the future. Born in 1992, it was the first complete wheel that introduced the concept of a high profile, an aerodynamic design that was absolutely revolutionary for its time and an immediate winner.
The innovative element lies in the wheel design called Dual Profile. A different modular profile perfected in the wind tunnel and with road tests that – combined with hubs with differentiated flange – allows the use of shorter spokes, to the advantage of overall rigidity, without the cyclist giving up comfort when pedaling.
As in previous models, the new Shamal – Dual Profile also adopts a fibre with a C-LUX finish, a solution that, translated onto the road, allows for optimal rideability in all conditions, even with wide tyres, allowing for use on gravel too.
The soul of the new Campagnolo Shamal is also evident in the 2 Way Fit system, with which the cyclist can choose between the classic clincher and inner tube or the tubeless solution, the latter is allowed by the upper bridge without holes, thus avoiding the use of sealing tape.
The spokes are arranged with the G3 lacing geometry, an iconic signature of Campagnolo production, a patented system that ensures the cyclist the perfect balance of tension and the best rigidity for the transfer of power generated by the pedals.
The smoothness of the new Campagnolo Shamal is entrusted to aluminum hubs with a cup-and-cone system, which allows for easy maintenance of the bearings. Compared to the previous model, the new materials adopted allow for a weight saving of over a hectogram, thus reaching a weight of 1,480 grams.
The new Shamal – Dual Profile represent the ideal solution for the cyclist looking for a versatile wheel, capable of expressing itself in different contexts, made with methodologies and technologies inspired by the higher-end models.
BEST HANDLING IN ALL CONDITIONS : The new Dual Profile carbon rim with unidirectional finish is designed to improve the bike’s handling at all speeds, offering comfort and rideability in all conditions.
The C23 rim is perfect for pairing with 28+ mm tires, making this wheel a complete Road/All-rounder.
REACTIVITY : A new monolithic hub design combined with the iconic G3 geometry to achieve perfectly balanced tensions, increasing stiffness and improving energy transfer.
MADE TO LAST : Durable and easy to maintain.
