WHEELS: Campagnolo Wheels Hyperon / Hyperon Ultra

Hyperon Wheels

Hyperon™ tubular

Hyperon™ wheels are strictly for high-level racing and it’s no coincidence that they’re the professionals’ favorites.
The rims and hubs are made from full carbon. The know-how reached in years of processing composites has enabled our engineers to build a wheel that is as strong as its aluminium counterpart but weighs 300 grams less. 300 grams that make an enormous difference on the first burst uphill: acceleration is as swift as lightning and the ease with which the pace changes is incredible.
The rear rim is asymmetrical to improve wheel dish. The HPW™ hubs feature Record™-class engineering. The Ultralinear™ spoking is achieved with butted aero spokes.
In order to assure powerful and modular braking, special brake pads must be used on Hyperon™ tubular wheels.

New quick release, the lever is in cold-forged aluminium and has two pivots for more balanced clamping.

Tubular Hyperon™ Ultra™


The Hyperon™ tubular was the first Campagnolo® wheel with carbon hub and rim, produced entirely in Vicenza. While being the lightest wheel in the range and one of the lightest racing wheels of all, it offers strength characteristics at the absolute level which are truly incredible for its weight.

It is a wheel built to achieve the same specifications of power, strength and rigidity of all the other Campagnolo® wheels with the added benefit of an even longer cycle of resistance to fatigue, thanks to the extraordinary characteristics of the material used.
The new Ultra version is characterized by the adoption of a monolithic light-alloy freewheel body and by the use of lighter counternuts, with a weight saving of 20 g over the already extremely light 2006 version.

Of course the tubular Hyperon™ Ultra™ does not set any special limits on the weight of the rider compared with other Campagnolo® wheels, as the lightness has been obtained thanks to design sophistication as well as to the use of special low-weight materials with extremely high mechanical specifications.
