WHEELS: Campagnolo Shamal Ultra Titanium / Ultra 2-Way Fit

With the Shamal™ wheel, Campagnolo® established a turning point for the way we think about the wheel: it was the first pre-assembled wheel and fifteen years later Shamal™ is still inimitable.
This is a historical name which for many years constituted the benchmark in the design of wheels in the cycling sector. Shamal™ wheels have evolved right up to the present with the Ultra version and have brought all the most important innovations generated by Campagnolo® experimentation with them. The central body of the hubs is made of carbon and the flanges are in aluminium. The profile starts from selected batches of extrusions, bent on CNC machines and with electro-welded joints. Toroidal grinding which extends from one spoke anchorage to the next helps to lighten the Shamal™ rims. The wheel has been dynamically balanced by strategic calibration of these grindings.

Shamal™ Ultra™ Titanium

The latest arrival in the Shamal™ family for 2008. No photograph can ever render justice to the attractive colouring of the new Titanium version. The specifications of this thoroughbred from the Campagnolo® household are unchanged.
The new arrival in the Shamal™ family comes with a refined Titanium™ finish, the visual impact of which is enhanced by the red graphic. It possesses all the mechanical, performance and functional characteristics of the Shamal™ family. Included are the hubs with oversize carbon fibre bodies and aluminium flanges. On the right of the rear wheel is a flange with oversize diameter to increase the torsional strength and counter the torque created by the chain traction. The bearings are very high-precision 15-ball units which are also optionally available in the smoother ceramic version.

Shamal Ultra 2-Way Fit Titanium

Over the years the Shamal™ name has become a symbol of Campagnolo® wheels. In this new version, which joins the model already present, our Shamal Ultra™ wheels are enriched by 2-Way Fit™ technology which makes it possible to fit valves for tubeless tiretires or normal clinchers with the same effectiveness.
Using a tubeless tire you can exploit the greater smoothness due to the absence of friction between the tiretires and the tube. Thanks to the Ultra-Fit™ profile of the rim, the adherence with the tire is perfect and any possibility of movement between the two parts is eliminated.
The lightness is remarkable thanks to the use of materials such as carbon fibre and light alloy.
