Cyclists know it well: wheels are a crucial component that can significantly influence the riding experience. And Campagnolo knows it too, continually investing in this essential category of cycling products. Today, the Italian brand unveils its latest innovation—the Shamal Dual-Profile wheels. This cutting-edge project is the latest chapter in a legacy of excellence that began in 1992 with the first high-profile wheel, a revolutionary concept for its time. That design quickly proved its worth with iconic victories: at the 1994 Giro d'Italia with Evgenij Berzin, in Miguel Indurain's time trials, and during Marco Pantani's triumphs at the Tour de France.

Shamal Dual-Profile 2025, Campagnolo's Legacy Looking Forward
The new Campagnolo Shamal Dual-Profile wheels integrate the best features of their predecessors, now elevated to a higher level through an innovative differentiated-profile design. These wheels are the perfect solution for advanced cyclists seeking the ideal balance between quality and price. As with all Campagnolo products, every stage of the production process for the Shamal Dual-Profile wheels—from crafting individual components to the final assembly—is meticulously controlled to ensure the highest standards of quality and precision.
Specifications of the New Campagnolo Shamal
The standout feature of the Campagnolo Shamal wheels lies in their innovative Dual-Profile design, developed through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis, refined in wind tunnel testing, and perfected on-road for the final carbon shaping. The modular and differentiated profile of the new Shamal wheels, combined with hubs featuring differentiated flanges, allows for shorter spokes, enhancing stiffness without sacrificing comfort. Additionally, the weight has been significantly reduced compared to the previous model, with the Shamal Dual-Profile 2025 tipping the scales at just 1480 grams, over 100 grams lighter than before.
Like their predecessors, the new Shamal Dual-Profile wheels feature unidirectional carbon fiber with a C-LUX finish. This construction avoids woven layers, instead layering fibers in a structure that evenly distributes mechanical loads along their direction. This design detail translates to optimal handling under all road conditions, even when paired with wider tires.
To accommodate the growing demand for wheels supporting wider tire sections—which enhance both rolling efficiency and comfort—the Campagnolo Shamal Dual-Profile 2025 features an internal hooked rim channel that can house a broad range of tire widths starting from 28 mm. Additionally, with the 2-Way Fit system, cyclists can choose between classic clincher tires with inner tubes or opt for tubeless setups, offering flexibility to match any riding preference.
