This is a rough guide to find the wheel Campagnolo appropriate for your type of bike. The range of wheel covers everything from recreation and commuting, Track by high performance.

Campagnolo wheels are well known, particularly in the center of reliability that extends across the range. The wheels are divided into types according to their profile, so you can get low, medium and high. Profile in this case refers to the depth of rim.

Campagnolo wheels, low profile

When cycling involves long periods of intense effort, the mass of a wheel rotation helps maintain low energy and that is where the wheels are more useful.

The middle of the wheel, with prices here is the neutron, which comes in a blanket and an Ultra version with reduced weight, often used for tests of time and long walks.

At a price tag higher performance and significantly lower weight Ultra Hyperon two, which comes in a hose and cover, carbon fiber is completely formed.

Average profile Campagnolo Wheels

In this category are the wheels that can be used for a variety uses, since the Khamsin is an entry level wheel.

That the rank increases, weight decreases as you might expect. The next round, The Vento is beginning to incorporate some advanced technology, but is always in the range of affordability for those who start in the competition.

The Scirocco falls in the same area but adding aero spokes placed differently in the front and rear.

At the next level of performance The Zonda is different rim profiles to meet the requirements of the front and rear wheels and a wheel for the more serious competitor when these factors come into play more.

The Eurus is an important step in price, design and performance, including most of the best Campagnolo Bicycle Wheel Technology. They are suitable for hill climbs and trials riding and with greater visibility to give a stiffer wheel.

In some high-end profile medium is the Campagnolo Shamal, 1395g in one of the centers of carbon very light weight removed around the edges and cover tubular, or 2 road versions.

Campagnolo High profile wheels

These wheels are low aerodynamic drag to transfer maximum energy to maintain maximum speed, instead conserve energy.

It is a force full of wheel on the track, which has minimal movement in bending and torsion leading to a height of 38 mm.

Not to mention the drag is the Ghibli, with a convex profile and the use of aramid fibers (Kevlar neighbors) to increase the rim rigidity, with handles towards the steel.

At the top of the test of time and the wheels of the triathlon is the profile of 50 mm Campagnolo Bora weighing only 1305g per set of wheels, using the centers of carbon fiber with ceramic bearings and stainless steel spokes with a variable section.

unless the race track, which you cons gears and brakes? when the struggle against the culture becomes the norm (in Portland) is none other than compliance. brake lights is not cool!
