Campagnolo Zonda Wheelset Review
Campagnolo Zonda - Like a Ferrari?
It has been said that the cheapest Ferrari will always be better than the most expensive Ford. The Campagnolo Zonda may be a bit of a compromise in some ways, but like the cheapest Ferrari it brings up an interesting point.
Costing half as much as the next cheapest wheel in Campagnolo’s range, the Zonda may be viewed as a bean-counter special by some, but one fact remains irrefutable: it’s a Campagnolo. For those in the know, that’s the most important aspect of this wheelset, but don’t start thinking this is an exercise in brand-engineering. The Campagnolo Zonda is quite a bit more than a fancy brand name on a cheap wheel (we won’t mention any names here) and has quite a lot to offer.
Campagnolo Zonda Benefits
First is the inherent strength of the Campagnolo rim. Many are those discerning and heavyweight riders who have turned to this wheel for reliable and damage-free performance. In fact, there are a few apocryphal stories out there of one hefty rider who hopped a curb on a carbon-fiber bike with a set of Campagnolo Zondas and wound up breaking the bike in half but re-using the wheels. Does that tell you anything?
If the Zonda’s do have a single weak point, it’s their low spoke count. Now, that is a great thing if you’re looking for a stiff and lightweight wheel, but not so great if you’re looking for a comfy ride, or like to true your own wheels. These wheels would make a great set for someone who’s just beginning to get really serious and who would like to get a feel for real racing equipment, but doesn’t always have the best roads in which to practice their craft.

DescriptionThanks to their aggressive aesthetics and weighing only 1,610 grams, Zonda? wheels arrive at the starting line as indisputable competition stars.They propose the differentiated rim wheel with a height of 26 mm for the front rim and 30 for the rear. Tests run at our laboratories have shown that this is the solution that currently provides the best results in terms of performance and reliability. This solution in fact gives a light and very steerable front wheel and a stiff rear wheel that maximizes the transmission of the rider's leg power. Both rims have been lightened between the zones in which the spokes are inserted, i.e. the section of the rim where diameters can be reduced without diminishing solidity. Special milling in the section opposite the joint ensures dynamic balance during rotation of the wheel and prevents a "jump" being felt at high speeds. Both rims have a top bridge that is free of holes. This means weight saving because rim tape does not need to be fitted, greater torsional stiffness and vertical elasticity. The ultra aero stainless-steel butted spokes are arranged radially on the front wheel and the rear wheel has G3? spoking. The rear rim has asymmetrical holes to improve wheel dish. The hubs are oversize with aluminium axles and self-aligning bearings. The flange of the rear right-hand hub is oversize to increase torsional stiffness. Zonda? hubs also use the Campagnolo freewheel body and pawl carrier housed in a single part for maximum lightness. Zonda? Features
