The benchmark among aluminum wheels
The Shamal ™ Ultra ™ has a wider profile to further improve two very important aspects that made this wheel the reference model on the market: responsiveness and maneuverability. The wider profile combined with Campagnolo's know-how made it possible to improve responsiveness by 3% and maneuverability by 5%.
The extremely low weight gives a unique feeling on the bike: fast, dynamic and extremely smooth. The Shamal ™ Ultra ™ is available in the versions clincher and 2-Way Fit ™ so that you can use your favorite tire and enjoy your rides as best as possible.
Main advantages
Always the best
The USB bearings make the Shamal Ultra an extremely smooth running bike. The carbon hub bodies reduce the weight considerably and guarantee great performance in terms of lateral stiffness while reducing the overall weight at the same time. The G3 spoke pattern with its unmistakable character ensures the best power transmission and at the same time reduces stress.
Long-term guaranteed services
The aerodynamic aluminum spokes, the self-locking nipples and the anti-rotation system of the spokes are elements that were developed with the aim of guaranteeing the long-term performance of the wheel. The differentiated rim height as well as the differentiated hub diameter make the Shamal Ultra an extremely light bike without having to compromise on performance.
Suitable for all preferences
The clincher version ensures ease of use and greater convenience in the event of a puncture. The 2-Way Fit version is intended for those who prefer tubeless tires that run more smoothly and have more racing characteristics.

Technologies used
In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses for this product.
USB ™ - Ultra Smooth Bearings
Extremely smooth and reliable bearings have always been part of the Campagnolo philosophy. Not only do their USBTM (Ultra Smooth Bearings) ceramic bearings weigh less and require less maintenance than standard bearings, they also run 50 percent lighter, which their tests prove.
G3 ™ geometry
The G3TM geometry on the rear wheel has twice as many spokes on the right as on the left. This G3 ™ pattern transfers the power better, ensures even spoke tension on the right and left, it protects the more heavily loaded right spokes and increases the lateral stiffness.
Your advantage: it runs faster and lasts longer. And Campagnolo thinks it's even nicer.
Rim Dynamic Balance ™
The welded rim joint adds a few grams to the rim on one side. The problem with it: The impeller runs out of true. The solution is Dynamic-Balance ™. The mass of the rim joint is balanced with exactly the same mass. The impeller runs smoothly when it is perfectly balanced. With their top aluminum models, this is achieved by special processing of the rim against the rim joint. With carbon rims, Campagnolo aligns the carbon layers so that the rim runs smoothly.
MoMag ™
The “Mounting Magnet” is a magnet with a mind. That is why Campagnolo has patented it. The nipples are inserted into the rim through the valve opening and then guided to the corresponding opening with a magnet. The upper rim web is closed and the spokes are tensioned from the outside.
The closed rim base is more stable, and clincher tires no longer require rim tape, which saves weight. The spokes can be tightened and changed easily, the wheel is stiffer and more stable, reactivity and acceleration are higher.
Spoke anti-rotation system
Campagnolo secures your spokes against twisting on the Bora ™, Shamal ™, Zonda ™ and Scirocco ™ wheels. The spoke is fixed to the hub in such a way that it does not turn. This ensures consistently high spoke tension and aerodynamics.
