The Shamal wheelset represents somewhat of a cornerstone in fine performance wheelworks and as such it has been at the forefront of innovation since its inception over 20 years ago.

Born as the very first complete wheelset with each component in its build being specifically designed as a complete unit to ensure unparalleled efficiency and performance the Shamal 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 Shamal includes all of the aforementioned technologies and represents years of solid research and development that culminates in the newest 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.
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 Shamal Ultra C17 wheels continues to use a carbon fibre hub body with extra smooth USB bearings to make them as efficient as possible. The hubs also continue to be differentiated between front and rear to optimise weight savings while considering structural and performance necessities that change with the individual roles of the two wheels.
The 16 aerodynamic anodized aluminium spokes on the front wheel are laced radially while the 21 spokes of the rear wheel are grouped in the Mega G3 pattern, famous not only for its fantastic performance but also for its innovative design. An adjusting lock ring with micro setting has trickled down to this new C17 version from the Bora family, further highlighting the Shamal’s status as a top tier race wheel.
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.
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.
