Campagnolo Shamal Ultra C17 Front Wheel 2-Way Tubeless Clincher Road Bike Wheel

The Campagnolo Shamal Ultra C17 2-Way Tubeless Clincher Front Wheel embodies decades of expertise, offering exceptional aluminum wheel performance with enhanced versatility and precision. Designed to meet the demands of modern road cyclists, this wheel features a wider 22mm rim profile perfectly suited for 25mm and 28mm tyres, providing improved aerodynamics compared to narrower rims. Its innovative design balances comfort, grip, and responsiveness, ensuring a superior riding experience on varied road conditions.

Equipped with Campagnolo’s renowned USB ceramic bearings, the Shamal Ultra C17 delivers a remarkably smooth ride with reduced friction and lower maintenance needs. The Mega-G3 spoke pattern optimizes energy transfer and rigidity by balancing spoke tension, enhancing power delivery while maintaining structural integrity. The 2-Way Fit system adds practical flexibility, allowing seamless use of either tubeless or clincher tyres, giving riders the freedom to tailor their setup to training or race-day preferences.

Hand-built by expert technicians, each wheel undergoes meticulous quality control, guaranteeing exceptional reliability and performance. Advanced features like Toroidal Milling reduce rim weight for greater reactivity, while Dynamic Balance ensures perfect weight distribution across the rim. The MOMAG external rim profile enhances durability by eliminating spoke holes, removing the need for rim tape and contributing to a clean, solid design. Every component, from the carbon hub to the aerodynamic aluminum spokes, is engineered for riders who demand precision, speed, and confidence.
