Thanks to 2-Way Fit™ technology, if you choose Campagnolo® wheels you can test them out to see which of the two solutions feels better for you, or use clinchers for training and tubeless for racing. Tubeless are without doubt the future of tires for road cycling. Apart from greater comfort, other big advantages include the fact that tubeless tires let you make the most of the greater smoothness due to the absence of friction between tire and inner tube. Plus, a tubeless will not suddenly deflate when punctured, which is definitely a good thing in terms of safety. And finally, tubeless tires do away with any risk of pinch flats, because there is no inner tube. If you get a puncture with a tubeless tire, the Campagnolo® 2-Way Fit™ system lets you simply remove the airtight valve, fit a classic inner tube and continue to pedal: problem solved.

The iconic CULT—ceramic bearings for Campagnolo racing bike wheels—are only mounted on the best hubs and cranksets and are revolutionary compared to other bearings on the market. Thanks to their properties, produced to specific Campagnolo design, CULT bearings offer extremely low friction, enabling maximum performance and energy savings when pedaling. The top-quality ceramic balls with high-precision roundness and resistance turn inside polymer cages on stainless steel races that are extremely resistant to wear and tear. These cages are designed with tolerances accurate to the micron, which maximizes their efficiency and durability. CULT bearings do not deform or corrode, ensuring long-term constant performance and product quality. Their maintenance requires only periodic cleaning and light lubrication with synthetic oil. CULT bearings have a 40% lower friction coefficient than standard sealed bearings and they roll for 5 and a half times longer in tests. CULT ceramic bearings are available for the best-known Campagnolo racing bike wheels: Bora Ultra WTO, Ghibli and Hyperon Ultra.

RIM Dynamic Balance™ – aluminum wheels The concept is as simple as it is genius: balancing the weight of the rim joint with a mass of identical weight on the opposite side of the rim. For top-end models this is achieved by intervening on the section of the rim opposite the joint. SPOKES Dynamic Balance™ For entry-level models, the balance is achieved with two oversized spokes in the section opposite the joint. The result is a wheel with perfectly balanced rotational dynamics. RIM Dynamic Balance™ – Carbon wheels For carbon wheels, the principle is the same but the technology differs. The pieces of carbon cloth are aligned using a special procedure that ensures the rim is always balanced.

WHAT IS THE MOMAG™? An absolute genius of a magnet. It is the tried and tested, patented “Mounting Magnet” system: MoMag™ for short. HOW DOES IT WORK? The nipples, once inserted inside the rim via the valve hole, are “guided” to the point of connection with the spoke by means of a magnet. This simple but ingenious system makes it possible to have a wheel without holes on the upper bridge, but with spokes tensioned by traditional nipples. ADVANTAGES No holes on the rim means that the rim is uniform at every point, free from stress points or zones of structural weakness. It offers a further advantage in terms of lightness for clincher profiles as no rim tape is required. The advantages are immediately clear: greater rim lifetime, greater resistance to fatigue, the possibility to give the spokes greater tension and greater stiffness, which, in terms of performance, mean better reactivity and ease of handling. But that’s not all. The advantages also include extremely quick simple spoke maintenance or replacement. MOMAG™ technology is used on Bora WTO carbon wheels for racing bikes and on Shamal Carbon, Levante and Hyperon Ultra wheels.
