NEW

GHIBLI™

Campagnolo® is quite proud of its glorious track record with the GhibliTM disc wheel, the very first tenso-structure wheel ever introduced in the cycling world. Despite the fact that the GhibliTM was still very competitive with newer models, the R&D department at Campagnolo sought to take lessons from this iconic wheel and build upon them in order to produce the next generation of extreme performance. Incorporation of carbon fiber throughout in addition to completely new construction techniques give the new wheelset an ultralight build while not sacrificing its performance attributes.

FRONT WHEEL

PISTA™

RECORD™ PISTA™

The PistaTM wheel has only two jobs: 1- to transfer the immense power generated from powerfull track athletes into forward motion without flexing or wasting energy. 2- slice through the wind to offer the lowest resistance possible. With numerous victories it appears that the PistaTM is quite capable in succeeding at both.

The RecordTM PistaTM groupset is a set of high-range components designed to excel in the velodrome. These products are designed exclusively for the specific needs of track racing. The other components have been borrowed directly from the RecordTM road groupset.

Minimizing material but maximizing efficiency in its employment allowed the Campy Tech LabTM to not only make this new wheel lighter but, more importantly for its specific intended purpose of battling the clock, to improve its reactivity and rigidity. The new structure and design allows for solid and stable stance that transfers power towards forward motion as opposed to allowing lateral flex or torsion. The new structure, despite its lightweight construction, is also the stiffest amongst the leading disc wheel competitors according to laboratory tests.

Tubular: 2035 g

This new wheelset was proven not only via strenuous lab testing and countless hours under athletes in training, but also in competition. CULTTM The hub of this new wheelset was developed in a way to house Campagnolo’s ultra-smooth and efficient CULTTM Ceramic Bearing Technology.

In its first official competition the Ghibli and its new ultra-performance construction were able to confer to Alex Dowsett a technological advantage that played a fundamental role in breaking the Hour Record.

38mm ALUMINIUM AERO RIM: maximum lateral and torsional stiffness – maintains stiffness features over time.

BOTTOM BRACKET

STAINLESS STEEL AERO SPOKES: maximum stiffness maintained over time.

With a front wheel tipping the scales at a scant 800 grams and the rear at an incredibly low 825 grams the new disc wheels are effectively the lightest performance solution available.
