Campagnolo Shamal Carbon C21 Disc Brake Tubeless Wheelset

Campagnolo has always viewed the Shamal family as an evolutionary impulse that transcends its own limitations, a challenge, and a triumph. Since 1992, this wheel has been an icon for enthusiasts, who with Shamal witnessed the birth of the high-profile concept, a precursor to what is currently available on the market. For Campagnolo, Shamal still holds the same meaning: breaking the mould to face the future.

The first Campagnolo wheel dedicated to endurance was born in keeping with this mantra, featuring a 21mm internal channel that can accommodate larger tyres and ensure maximum comfort for the cyclist on races and long rides. This new product was intended for a broader customer base, with a new, more accessible price point, but with every feature necessary to guarantee the maximum performance and style that characterise Campagnolo wheels.

The Shamal Carbon DB boasts a carbon rim with unidirectional finish and a differentiated front/rear profile, a modern rounded profile, and new aluminium hubs with a cup-and-cone bearing system. Every design decision is driven by the sole goal of improving cyclists' performance over long hours on the saddle, providing comfort and rideability in all conditions.

The 21mm internal diameter rim profile allows for perfect pairing with 25, 28 and 30mm tyres. The wide channel also makes this wheel a complete all-rounder, suitable for larger tyres that are perfect for gravel biking. Thanks to 2-Way Fit technology, Campagnolo guarantees complete compatibility with both clincher and tubeless tyres.

The hole-free upper bridge, achieved through the patented MoMag system, allows for weight savings, increased rigidity, and an aid to using tubeless tyres: no tape is required for the seal. Maintaining and cleaning the wheel on tyre changes has never been easier.

Campagnolo has always been synonymous with reliability: the G3 spoking system with double spokes on the left of the front wheel ensures balanced and safe braking in all conditions. The engineered construction of the whole wheel, considering every single component as part of a system, makes each Campagnolo product a godsend on longer rides, cyclosportives and the most demanding adventures.

The Shamal Carbon features a differentiated profile, with a 35mm front and 40mm rear, engineered to ensure maximum comfort on longer rides, both in terms of bumps and ease of riding, without sacrificing performance. The 40mm rear ensures maximum responsiveness and complete power transfer, while the 35mm front guarantees the best possible rideability in all conditions.

Campagnolo's unique style, technology and refinement are now more accessible than ever. The Shamal Carbon is the first Campagnolo-branded carbon wheel at a new, more affordable price point, with the aim of sharing Campagnolo's technical advantage with a broader customer base. It is also the first Campagnolo wheel in the endurance segment, combining performance with unprecedented comfort.

The well-known cup-and-cone bearing system guarantees unique smoothness, which, combined with the possibility of adjusting the play, positions the Campagnolo system at a higher level than standard bearings in terms of both performance and durability. The unidirectional, unpainted carbon rim allows for weight savings, dropping the wheelset weight to 1585g and making the Shamal Carbon a complete all-rounder. The wheels are also compatible with SRAM XD-R 12 Speed Cassette.
