Campagnolo Shamal Ultra C17 Clincher Wheelset

A legendary model since its original introduction over 20 years ago, this updated version of the rigid and aerodynamic Campagnolo Shamal Ultra C17 Clincher Wheelset boasts wider 17mm internal rims so it's ready for today's wider road bike tyres.

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.

About the Campagnolo brand

Besides distinguishing themselves for their unparalleled quality and performance, Campagnolo products have also become the benchmark of design. This is testified by the prestigious Compasso d'Oro award granted by the Associazione Design Italiano in recognition of the Veloce groupset, Ergopower integrated controls and Shamal high-profile wheels. Campagnolo is not only involved in the cycling world, but dedicates itself to all sports in general. In fact, it was named by the Wall Street Journal as one of the most prominent sports brands in the world. A reputation earned not only as a result of the countless successes achieved in racing competitions, but also by virtue of the attention given to quality and to service that sets this company apart from all others.
