The Hyperon wheel range expands\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>

Campagnolo has announced its new Hyperon wheelset that will sit below the Hyperon Ultra launched earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

Campagnolo claims the new road bike wheels<\/a> weigh 1,340g \u2013 just 100g heavier than the Hyperon Ultras<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Hyperon range complements the brand\u2019s Bora aero wheels and the Shamal<\/a> endurance\/gravel wheelset.<\/p>\n

Campagnolo says the new Hyperon sits alongside the Bora WTO 33 \/ 45 \/ 60, with the Bora Ultra WTO<\/a> and Hyperon Ultra at the top of the hierarchy. Campagnolo considers the Shamal and Levante<\/a> gravel wheels to sit a tier below.<\/p>\n

The wheels will retail for \u00a32,299.99 \/ $2,790 \/ \u20ac2,690. Australian pricing is to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

Like its spendier sibling, the 37mm-deep Hyperon\u2019s rims sport a 21mm internal width<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re moulded using Campagnolo\u2019s HULC (Handmade Ultra-Light Carbon) technology. The brand says this process, which sees the carbon fibre oriented at a specific angle when it\u2019s laid up in the mould, ensures optimal alignment and the ideal ratio of carbon fibre to resin.<\/p>\n

The Hyperons sport a single-joint construction over the industry standard of four, a technology Campagnolo first introduced on the Hyperon Ultra, which the brand says reduces any potential points of weakness.<\/p>\n

The wheels also feature Campagnolo\u2019s C-Lux (short for Campagnolo Luxury) finish \u2013 the smooth, mirror-like appearance negating the need for lacquer and saving weight.<\/p>\n

What do you miss out on?<\/h2>\n

There are some concessions to be made for the \u00a3850 saving.<\/p>\n

The Hyperons lack the Head-To-Bay system, which debuted on the Hyperon Ultra. This sees a rounded head fit over the spoke at the hub, which enables any forces to dissipate out of the spoke head, reducing the chance of deformation.<\/p>\n

The hubs are also aluminium rather than the svelte carbon found on the Hyperon Ultra and they forego the use of Campagnolo\u2019s CULT (Ceramic Ultimate Level Technology) ceramic bearings<\/a>. We suspect they use Campagnolo\u2019s USB (Ultra Smooth Bearings), but we\u2019ve asked the brand for confirmation.<\/p>\n

You also get the regular N3W freehub<\/a> over the N3W Light option (where excess material has been removed) found on the Hyperon Ultra.<\/p>\n

Finally, in a move sure to please mechanics, the spoke nipples are located externally, which should make wheel truing<\/a> easier. The Hyperon Ultras use Campagnolo\u2019s Aero Mo-Mag technology, which sees the oversized aluminium spoke nipples hidden inside the rim.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
