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. 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.
