Campagnolo Hyperon Ultra DB Wheels

Hyperon Ultra is the new Campagnolo wheel designed for the most discerning and demanding cyclists. A wheel that embodies true product perfection, born of unrivalled Campagnolo experience.

To create this jewel, we brought together the knowledge of our engineers and most experienced testers, along with feedback from professional cyclists. The result is a new road bike wheelset with a perfect blend of features: lightweight construction, unrivalled responsiveness and superior handling.

We have pushed H.U.L.C. moulding technology and the C-LUX finish to the limit to make Hyperon Ultra beautiful to look at and light on the scales.

With the aim of enhancing ride feel and rider performance, we have achieved unrivalled responsiveness thanks to the new Head-2-Bay system, created to provide a high-precision interface between the spoke head and the hub, which features exceptionally smooth CULT bearings and a new N3W freehub body in a lighter version.

To ensure responsive handling, we drew on longstanding Campagnolo expertise, also applying the renowned Aero-MoMag technology to the Hyperon Ultra wheels: a choice that delivers aerodynamic benefits and an improved appearance. The rims incorporate proven 2-Way Fit technology with an undrilled upper rim bed. Their special construction with a single joint ensures and further increases the stiffness of the wheel system.

With an internal rim width of 21mm and a 37mm profile, Hyperon Ultra is a wheel that meets the needs of the most demanding cyclists and enhances the appearance of any bike.

HYPERON ULTRA DB: The magic ratio of performance.

Available versions: Campagnolo N3W™, Shimano HG, Sram XDR™ freehub

Key Benefits

Lightweight construction

• The new Hyperon Ultra rims are moulded using the latest Campagnolo H.U.L.C. technology, the result of over 25 years of experience in carbon moulding. This technology ensures optimised rim dimensions and carbon fibre-to-resin ratio, helping to increase stiffness and strength.
• The C-LUX mirror finish creates a surface so smooth that it requires no paint, saving weight. The scientific precision of C-LUX also helps create the most secure possible tubeless seat, improving the seal and making fitting and removal easier, while reducing the risk of damage to the tyre beads.

Unrivalled responsiveness

• With the Head-2-Bay system, the high-precision interface between the spoke head and the hub has been optimised to prevent inelastic deformation of the spokes. This innovative technology introduces a system for managing high loads to reduce the risk of damage, ensuring perfectly balanced spoke tension and correct transfer of the rider's power to the road.
• The N3W Light freehub body is designed to accommodate 11, 12 and 13-speed cassettes with smallest sprockets of 9, 10 and 11 teeth. The lighter design, combined with the smooth running of CULT bearings and extreme torsional stiffness, offers maximum control over performance.
• Standing for Ceramic Ultimate Level Technology, CULT bearings offer a considerable improvement over all others. The key to the exceptional performance of CULT bearings lies in the use of the highest-quality materials in a hybrid construction.
• The highly spherical, strong ceramic balls rotate within polymer cages on wear-resistant stainless steel races, maximising bearing efficiency and durability while requiring, at most, periodic cleaning and light lubrication with synthetic oil.

Superior handling

• Our Aero Mo-Mag technology takes aerodynamics to the next level. The internal nipple seats, made from glass fibre-reinforced polymer, ensure perfect alignment with the spokes, reducing stress on the system's components. The innovative construction reduces wheel weight and optimises aerodynamics.
• The rear rim profile is asymmetric to allow greater control over stiffness and optimal tension management, ensuring maximum safety and handling through every corner.
• The single-joint construction of the Campagnolo rim reduces the number of potential weak points by using just one fusion point compared with the four normally used in the industry. The rim is therefore extremely stiff and, thanks to the use of aerospace-grade carbon, incredibly strong and resistant to damage.
