The new Shamal Ultra from Campagnolo embodies the incredible quality that has made the Shamal the go to aluminium race wheel for almost two decades. Offering further improvements in terms of versatility and performance, and meeting the C17 standard, the Shamal Ultra is perfect for use with 25/28mm tire sizes. Thanks to the Dynamic Balance technology, every point of the rim is counter-balanced by an equal weight on the opposing side, providing maximum stability even at high speeds. The addition of MoMag technology creates a rim profile that is free of holes, making rim tape unnecessary, and the differentiated rim height keeps the spokes in the position of maximum aerodynamic penetration. The toroidal milling reduces the peripheral weight of the rim, making the wheel extremely reactive, the 2-Way Fit profile enables the use of either classic clincher or tubeless tires whilst the Ultra-Fit design allows for easy tire mounting, maximum safety, minimum friction, less energy dispersion and improved performance. The spokes have been designed with an aerodynamic profile to achieve maximum aerodynamic penetration, reducing sag and saving rider energy, whilst the self-locking system ensures that the spokes maintain the optimum aerodynamic position. The spokes are lightweight aluminium with an aero design, and use the exclusive MEGA G3 spoke pattern which creates the perfect balance of spoke tensions on both sides of the wheel, reducing stress, increasing transversal rigidity and improving the transmission of power to the wheel. The hub features a carbon fibre body for a high degree of lateral stiffness with minimum weight, an aluminium axel for low weight and high stiffness and Usb ceramic ball bearings which reduce friction, provide greater smoothness and maintains performance over time. The hubs have been designed with a differentiated hub diameter front and rear, optimised for structural integrity and aerodynamic efficiency.

The Campagnolo Shamal Ultra C17 2-Way fit wheelset represents the pinnacle of tubeless-ready alloy road wheels – they’re fast, stiff, light, and durable. Weighing just 1475 grams per pair, these wheels offer an incredibly responsive ride feel and fly up climbs with ease. With a broader rim this wheelset accommodates larger tyres, and thanks to the new 2-way fit rim design, you can also go tubeless to maximise puncture protection for the roughest roads. Campagnolo has combined these rims with carbon and alloy hubs. With high alloy flanges and proprietary USB ceramic bearings, these hubs boast both incredible stiffness and a lasting smooth spin. These hubs are laced to the rim via 16 bladed alloy spokes on the front and 21 on the rear. Additionally, using Campagnolo's G3 spoke pattern, the Shamal Ultra C17’s have been optimised for complete durability and stiffness out on the road. Like all Campagnolo wheels, the Shamal Ultra C17’s are built and balanced in Italy by a Campagnolo certified technician, resulting in a wheel that offers a ride quality like no other.

The new Shamal Ultra C17 represents the same fantastic performance that has made it THE go-to aluminium race wheel for the better part of two decades while adding even more versatility and performance. The new, wider profile means the C17 standard is perfect for use with the increasingly popular 25/28mm tyre sizes. USB Bearings are ceramic which vastly reduces the weight and greatly improves the smoothness of the bearings. The ceramic ball bearings inside also mean that maintenance will be far less common and it has a much higher resistance to corrosion than standard bearings. The Mega-G3 Spoke pattern is a type of spoke assembly that improves energy transfer between the hub, which reduces stress on the right-hand side which in turn increases the rigidity of the wheel. This is achieved by having twice as many spokes as the left-hand side. The new C17 also allows for a more sure-footed grip in addition to increased comfort while increasing rigidity and thus reactivity at the same time thanks to its wider stance and optimized material usage. Features: Toroidal Milling reduces the peripheral weight of the rim for great reactivity Dynamic Balance where every point of the rim is counterbalanced by an equal weight on the opposite side Ultra-Fit for easy tyre mounting and improved performance for clincher tyres MOMAG: the external rim profile is free of holes, so the structural integrity of the wheel is increased and there is no need for rim tape Differentiated rim height, 27mm front & 30mm rear for optimized structural integrity and performance Carbon hub with USB bearings, aluminium axle Aerodynamic aluminium spokes with exclusive Mega-G3 spoke pattern Weight: 1449g Tech Specs: Spokes Spoke Count: 16 Front and 21 (G3) Rear RDB - Rim Dynamic Balance Aerodynamic Double-Butted Aluminium spokes Ultraliner / DRSC Geometry Self-Locking Aluminium nipples Rims Profile Height: Differentiated (24/27mm at the front - 27/30mm at the rear Material: Aluminium Rim Section: (Height/width): differentiated/22mm Tyre fitment - Clincher with inner tubes Hubs Carbon and aluminium hub USB bearings Width: 100mm (Front) / 130mm (Rear) Oversize flange Cup-and-cone bearing system Freehub: CA 9/10/11/12x, SH 11x or 9/10x with spacers In The Box: New, re-designed quick-release skewers User Manual Warranty Booklet Campagnolo Wheel Identification Card
The Campagnolo Shamal Ultra C17 is the very first complete wheelset with each component in its build being specifically designed as a complete unit to ensure unparalleled efficiency and performance. This model has continued to introduce new technologies that would change the way aluminium performance wheels were produced. So advanced was the Shamal in its early stages, that it was found also in World Tour competition often and to this day is still perhaps the most race-ready aluminium wheelset available. The modern Campagnolo Shamal Ultra C17 Clincher includes all of the aforementioned technologies and represents years of solid research and development that culminates in the updated version of this prestigious line of wheels. This wider profile meets the C17 standard and is perfect for use with the increasingly popular tyre sizes. The updated Shamal was studied specifically to increase compatibility with 25 and 28mm road tyres. This rim/tyre interface proves to be more aerodynamic when compared to the same size tyres mated to a C15 rim. The C17 also allows for a more surefooted grip on the road in addition to increased comfort while increasing rigidity and thus reactivity at the same time thanks to its wider stance and optimised material usage. The advanced Shamal Ultra C17 represents the same fantastic performance that has made it THE go-to aluminium race wheel for the better part of two decades while adding more versatility and performance. Technologies: MoMag™ "Mounting Magnet" System: No holes on the rim means that the rim is uniform at every point, free from stress points or zones of weakness and, for the clincher profiles no rim tape is required, reducing the overall weight. The advantages are immediately clear: greater rim lifetime, greater resistance to fatigue, the possibility to give the spokes greater tension, and greater stiffness which, in terms of performance, mean greater reactivity and acceleration. But that’s not all. The advantages also include extremely quick and simple maintenance and spoke replacement. All to the benefit of cyclists who choose Campagnolo®. G3 Spoke System: When compared to a traditional wheel, Campagnolo’s G3 assembly architecture improves energy transfer, reduces the stress on the spokes, and increases lateral rigidity. G3 refers to groups of three parallel straight-pull spokes, which are arranged in a 2:1 ratio, so one side of the wheel has twice as many spokes as the other.
