The new, extraordinary Hyperon wheels must be seen, felt and mounted on the bicycle and then used in competition - because no photograph or description can do them justice.
The pair of wheels weighs little more than 1200 g - yet embody all the reliability, tenacity, quality and durability that have always distinguished Campagnolo products.
They are a competition product, to be sure - but they can still be used every day.
In conceptual terms, they are the "full-carbon" version of the by-now truly famous Nucleon wheel (this year renamed Neutron) - the wheels which swept away every competitor thanks to their extraordinary characteristics of lateral and torsional rigidity, supreme acceleration and comfort even in the longest races.
They share all the features that make Neutron so incredible - with the only difference that carbon fibre is used in place of aluminium for both hub bodies and rims.
As for the Neutron, the design objective was to build a wheel of extraordinary efficiency capable of converting into acceleration and speed the highest possible percentage of rider energy - a wheel ideal for demanding climbs, long-distance racing and events demanding continual accelerations.
It must be emphasized that, unlike most wheels on the market which are assembled from a variety of generic components, the Hyperon wheel is the result of a fully integrated project where every component is designed and developed together with the others.
The outcome is a wheel ensuring incredible performances that creates the new standard against which all wheels will be judged.

HPW Carbon Hubs

The brand new hubs for Hyperon wheels, with their extraordinary bodies in variable cross-section curved carbon fibre, are at the technological forefront of composite materials applied to racing bike components; they combine ultra-light carbon fibre bodies with the internal engineering of HPW hubs in aluminium to ensure very low weight and even longer life span.
The result is truly extraordinary, since the product offers maximum possible performance together with the speed and easy maintenance of standard Record hubs (as already mentioned, they use the Record axle and adjustable bearing system).
The technological superiority of these hubs is immediately evident in the spherical perfection of surfaces and the one piece, solid body - unique and unprecedented characteristics:
in these integral hubs, the carbon fibre faithfully follows the ideal lines developed through FEM analysis and the spokes are attached directly to the integrated flanges again in carbon fibre, with the only exception of the rear, drive side flange, designed with an insert in light alloy to ensure that the pawls adequately transfer drive torque.
A new, extraordinary product which will influence the future of bicycle components.

Hyperon Carbon Rims

For the Hyperon wheels, Campagnolo designers have built a pair of rims in composite material ensuring unprecedented technical content and performance.
The low profile design of these rims minimize inertia resistance and avoid compromising comfort in longer races; the section itself is also differential between the symmetrical front rim and the rear rim which is asymmetrical, in order to improve lateral stiffness and thus the transmission of rider power.
The very low mass of these rims ensures supreme accelerations in sprints and climbs for both powerful riders and demanding enthusiasts.
The rims require special brake pads to ensure a braking performance which is quite unusual for carbon rims and similar to that usually found on aluminium rims.

Special Brake Pads

The braking surface in composite material for Hyperon wheels requires special brake pads, which Campagnolo has developed to ensure that the exceptional performance of the wheels is accompanied by adequate braking quality and safety.
So, before taking off with your brand new Hyperon wheels, you must equip the light alloy Campagnolo brake shoe holders with these special brake pads - supplied with the wheels themselves and naturally also available as spare parts.

Hyperon Spokes

In a wheel characterized by low weight, high performance and advanced technology, the spoke system is fundamentally important.
Hyperon wheels are fitted with special "aero" steel spokes with a differentiation in the cross section based on the specific tension.
On the rear wheel, the evidently asymmetrical rim improves lateral stiffness and reduces the load applied to the spokes on the drive side, making it possible to adopt a differential cross-section (2-1.8-2mm) where, in the past, a constant cross-section was used.
The "Ultralinear" geometry, with spherical coupling self-locking nuts and plates, ensures construction with is both resistant and lightweight - for optimal transfer of rider power.
The opaque black finishing blends perfectly with the carbon fibre to exalt the "racing" character of the wheel.
The result perfectly complements the extraordinary, integrated design meeting the needs of both demanding professionals and enthusiasts seeking perfection.
