The Shamal wheelset has been at the forefront of innovation since its inception over 20 years ago. It was developed as the very first complete wheelset with each component in its build being specifically designed as a complete unit to ensure unparalleled efficiency and performance.
The new Shamal C17 was developed specifically to increase compatibility with 25 and 28mm tyres that are becoming increasingly popular due to their improved aerodynamics and reduced rolling resistance.
The new C17 also allows for a more surefooted grip on the road in addition to increased comfort while increasing rigidity and thus reactivity at the same time thanks to its wider stance and optimised material usage.
They feature a carbon fibre hub body with extra smooth USB bearings to make them as efficient as possible. The hubs for this newly designed wheel are differentiated between front and rear in order to optimise weight savings while considering structural and performance necessities that change with the individual roles of the two wheels. The 16 aerodynamic anodised aluminium spokes on the front wheel are laced radially while the 21 spokes of the rear wheel are grouped in the Mega G3 pattern, famous not only for its fantastic performance but also for its innovative design.
A new adjusting lock ring with microsetting has trickled down to this new C17 version from the Bora family, further highlighting the Shamal’s status as a top tier race wheel.
