The Zonda™ 2006 wheels have been restyled and weigh just 1,610* g,
a full 100 g less than in the previous version.
Campagnolo® is this year introducing the concept of a differential
profile for the Zonda™ and Eurus™ models, i.e. a 24-mm profile for
the front rim and a 28-mm profile for the rear rim. Tests run at
our laboratories have shown that this is the solution that
currently provides the best results in terms of performance and
reliability. This solution in fact gives a light and very steerable
front wheel and a stiff rear wheel that maximizes the transmission
of the rider’s leg power.
Both rims have been lightened between the zones in which the spokes
are inserted, i.e. the section of the rim where diameters can be
reduced without diminishing solidity.
Special milling in the section opposite the joint ensures dynamic
balance during rotation of the wheel and prevents a “jump” being
felt at high speeds.
Both rims have a upper bridge that is free of holes. This means
weight saving because rim tape does not need to be fitted and gives
the wheel greater torsional stiffness and vertical elasticity.
The Ultra Aero™ stainless-steel butted spokes are arranged radially
on the front wheel and the rear wheel has G3™ spoking. The rear rim
has asymmetrical holes to improve wheel dish.
The hubs are oversize with aluminium axles and self-aligning
bearings. The flange of the rear right-hand hub is oversize to
increase torsional stiffness.
Zonda™ hubs also use the new freewheel body and pawl carrier housed
in a single aluminium part for maximum lightness.
Zonda™ 2006 wheels are fitted with new quick-releases with levers
in cold-forged aluminium with two pivots for more balanced
clamping.
Zonda™ 2006 wheels are available in Black and Silver versions.
