Campagnolo Shamal

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 one also Shamal - Dual Profile It adopts a fibre with a C-LUX finish, a solution which, 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 ones Shamal - Dual Profile They represent the ideal solution for the cyclist looking for a versatile wheel, capable of expressing itself in different contexts, created with methodologies and technologies inspired by higher-end models.
