Campagnolo Hyperon Ultra Clincher

If  you own a set of Campagnolo Hyperon Ultra wheelsets, you have good taste, money and talent. You’ve been racing for so long your quadriceps now have their own area codes, and your last name is a byword word “champion” in sixteen different time zones.

Unlike many full-carbon wheel, Campagnolo has manages to create a wheelset that is not only absurdly fast, but as durable and reliable as any aluminum set ever made.  The Campagnolo Hyperon Ultra sit squarely at the top of the company’s line of excellent wheels and the quality shows.  One gets the sense while holding one of these wheels that they may well come from a Ferrari F1 scuderia, as their light weight (1350g) and micron-tight tolerances make it clear that something wicked has this way come.

Though many lesser wheels are made of pure carbon, the Campagnolo Hyperon Ultra wheelsets up the ante with lightweight freehub bodies with carbon shells, Campagnolo double-pivot/arm QR skewers, a 12t cassette lockring. The front wheel sports 22 carbon spokes laced radially, while the rear carries two more.  Evidence of Campagnolo’s obsession with truly anal-retentive engineering, only the rear wheel’s non-drive side uses the radial arrangement; drive side’s spokes are crossed. Find that with any other wheel outside the Campagnolo stable and you owe yourself a cookie.

Most full carbon wheels require a certain amount of qualification before purchase. “Oh, well they’re going to be brittle, so don’t hit any bumps,” “the spokes pull loose, so don’t be too fat” or my personal favorite: “the brakes will melt your sidewalls, so don’t use them.”  The Hyperon Ultra Carbon makes no such excuses, and requires no apologies. These are simply the best all carbon clinchers in the world, and there’s a set sitting at the factory right now, lying in wait for a truly talented rider to give him the ride of his life.
