Campagnolo have been producing the Zonda C17 for quite some time now, and there’s good reason for them being one of the company’s best-selling aluminium rims. At only 1540 grams, as a wheelset it’s respectably lightweight, but is also reliable, robust, and stiff. As one of the cheaper wheels offered by the iconic Italian brand, it’s an excellent choice for long winter base miles and commuting through all seasons.
LIGHTER AND STRONGER
For this version, Campy have shaved off 10 grams from the previous version, providing a more responsive ride feel. However, despite the weight loss regime, thanks to the inclusion of a milled rim and the choice of Mega-G3 lacing pattern, this wheelset remains strong and stiff. To further increase the wheelset’s durability, it’s been equipped with an alloy hub filled with steel bearings, meaning they’ll spin smoothly for season after season.
SPOKE TO ME
The Zonda C17 uses two different spoke counts on the front and rear wheel. On the front, 16 aero steel spokes are used to keep weight down. The rear uses these same spokes, but there are 21 in a 2:1 spoke ratio on the drive side to maximise stiffness.
With this new wheelset Campagnolo have also widened the internal rim width, meaning this version of the C17 is optimised for 25mm and 28mm tyres. By fitting a wider tyre, you’ll not only have a more comfortable riding experience and more grip in the corners, but also the tyre-shape cuts through the air more efficiently.
CERTIFIED EXCELLENCE
As you’d expect from a brand with as much pedigree as Campagnolo, all Zonda wheelsets are built by a certified Campagnolo technician and are quality controlled by electronic systems, ensuring a high-quality build that lasts.
In all, if it’s a durable, but lightweight wheelset you are a looking for that is ideal for training, commuting and general everyday riding then this is a great option.
