Tubeless tech and wider internal rims adopted in velodrome <\/p>

Italian cyclists will ride a new tubeless Campagnolo Ghibli 0.9 disc wheel in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome at the World Championships in Glasgow.<\/p>\n

Campagnolo says the previous Ghibli, a favourite with track riders, was the first full-carbon track wheel. Its successor now breaks with tradition by relinquishing tubular compatibility, in favour of tubeless technology.<\/p>\n

Made from carbon, the rim width<\/a> of the Ghibli 0.9 is broad for a track wheel, measuring 25mm internally and 27.4mm externally. It\u2019s designed to work with wide tyres, too.<\/p>\n

For context, the 25mm internal rim width is the same as the ENVE SES 4.5<\/a> wheels found on Tadej Poga\u010dar\u2019s Colnago V4Rs at the Tour de France<\/a>, which ballooned his 28c Continental tyres beyond 31mm in width.<\/p>\n

Campagnolo says Italy\u2019s sprint and endurance track cyclists in Glasgow will race the \u20ac3,418 Ghibli 0.9, which weighs a claimed 990g.<\/p>\n

Campagnolo explains the internal width of the C21 rim bed has increased from 20mm and is now only compatible with clincher and tubeless tyres.<\/p>\n

While tubeless tyres<\/a> have become popular with WorldTour riders on the road, tubulars have remained the go-to option on the track. That will change with the Ghibli 0.9, while the new disc wheel could also signal a move to wider tyres on the track.<\/p>\n

Italian track riders involved in the development of the new wheel wanted to use\u00a023c to 28c tubeless tyres for their performance and safety benefits, according to Campagnolo.<\/p>\n

Again, 28c tyres were commonplace at this year\u2019s Tour de France<\/a>, but 20c rubber has remained popular on the track.<\/p>\n

More aerodynamic and lower rolling resistance<\/h2>\n

The Italian brand claims a reduced camber angle on the Ghibli 0.9 reduces its frontal profile and consequently drag.<\/p>\n

Campagnolo says the switch from tubular to tubeless tyres decreases rolling resistance.<\/p>\n

The new C.U.L.T. (Ceramic Ultimate Level Technology) bearings in a cup-and-cone system offer little friction, according to the brand.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
