Campagnolo Shamal Ultra Wheelset Review

Campagnolo Shamal Ultra

To balance the Campagnolo Shamal Ultra wheelset, the surface of the rim opposite the valve stem was torroidally ground to balance the wheel. Just let that sink in for a moment.

There aren’t too many companies in this class who show the level of attention detail that Campagnolo does, a fact which becomes glaringly obvious at the first in-person glance at any of their products. Whether examining their product specs or touring their immaculate facility, one can’t help but think of an 18,000 rpm Formula One engine. Like said powerplant, it’s not too difficult to believe that this company’s wheelsets are so tightly engineered that they may not even spin turn over at anything below operating temperature.

Far from being satisfied with garden variety aluminum alloy, Campagnolo hand picks its metal stock from suppliers and machines it along the grain line of the metal, ensuring that no rim of theirs ever suffers from embarrassing spoke-hole splits. The aforementioned grinding done opposite the valve stem isn’t the only place the Campagnolo Shamal Ultra sheds precious grams; the rim is ground in between every one of the spokes, giving it unprecedented aerodynamic qualities for a rim in this class, as well as sporting a lower weight profile than many other wheels costing twice as much.

As far as hardware goes, the Campagnolo Shamal Ultra wheel glides like a penguin on pork grease with its ultra-smooth and reliable bearings. Showing a rare faith in its rim rigidity, these tires are of a tubular design, which reduces rolling resistance and helps to elevate them to the level of full carbon wheels in terms of speed. Overall, though the Campagnolo Shamal Ultra isn’t the cheapest wheelset money can buy, it’s easy to see where your money went the first time you ride on it, and what you’ll see will make you very happy indeed.

Description

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.
