The Campagnolo Shamal Mille wheelset has been widened to a 17mm internal rim width, which is in line with the movement towards wider tires. The added width increases strength and delivers a large footprint for a wider tire with no compromise in performance. The Shamal Mille features a Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation finish and advanced brake track that improves the overall braking power, feel, and modulation as well as providing a stealthy look. The MegaG3™ lacing system, which Campy claims provides a 17% increase in stiffness from the previous generation Shamal is distinct and effective. Campagnolo takes their well proven G3 rear wheel spoke system and adds a "mega" oversize driveside rear hub flange for better power transfer and ride feel.

The Shamal Mille Clincher wheelset is great for a variety of uses not to mention its 1459 gram weight contributing to a very light bicycle weight. They are functionally and cosmetically a perfect match for the Record-equipped bike. Campagnolo uses differentiated rim heights with a 24-27mm front and 27-30mm rear to keep the wheel weight very low but add some aerodynamics and a little extra stiffness to the rear wheel.

Besides the differentiated heights and new 17mm internal width, the rims have several other important features. Most rims contain a heavy spot usually at the rim seam or valve stem. Campagnolo is one of the few companies that dynamically balance their rims making Campagnolo wheels very smooth at speed. Toroidal milling reduces peripheral rim weight for improved acceleration. Sealed rims and MoMag magnetic nipple placement technology eliminates holes on the outside of the rim for increased strength and crack resistance. The rims are aluminum alloy and the coated, spiral grooved machined braking surface is superb with included Mille blue brake pads in dry or wet conditions, at any temperature. The difference in feel from bare aluminum is noticeable, with improved modulation without loss of power.

Carbon hub shells contain Campy's USB™Ultra Smooth ceramic Bearings for friction free performance. Oversize bladed aluminum spokes are held in place with Campagnolo's anti-rotational nipple system which keeps the spoke always in the proper aerodynamic position so they are more like knifes and not paddles.

This wheelset comes with a Campagnolo freehub body that accepts 9-11 speed cassettes and with the bare minimum of set-up, is ready for training or racing usage right out of the box. Despite the light weight, the Shamal Mille Clincher Wheelset is suitable for riders up to 235lbs, so the vast majority of racers and serious enthusiasts can exploit all advantages.
