The H.U.L.C construction helps the wheel achieve its durability, but so does the asymmetric rim, according to Campagnolo.Ĭampagnolo says the rim design helps the Levante achieve its versatility. The Levante wheelset is no exception.Ĭampagnolo says the Levante is “built to last” and has been tested against competitors for durability.Īlthough the brand hasn’t gone into specifics on how durable the Levante is compared to other wheelsets, it says the wheelset is validated to ASTM 2, a strength standard that means the wheels are suitable for use on unpaved roads with drops of less than or equal to 15cm. It’s not uncommon to see bike components – and gravel components, in particular – come with claims of durability and versatility. The hub uses cup and cone bearings, and the spokes are straight-pull. Consequently, it helps the brand save more weight.Īccording to Campagnolo, the benefits of C-Lux don’t stop there, with the finish helping users seat tubeless gravel bike tyres and reducing the risk of abrasion to tyre beads.
Campagnolo says the technology helps its engineers to optimise the use of fibres and resin for strength, stiffness and low weights in order to achieve “a confidence-inspiring ride feel without undue harshness”.Ĭampagnolo says the C-Lux (short for Campagnolo Luxury) finish has a “mirror-like” appearance and is smooth enough not to require lacquer. Such claims continue with the Levante wheels. When Campagnolo launched H.U.L.C, it said the handmade carbon fibre helped the brand achieve marginal gains in performance and in weight savings. The Levante wheelset uses Campagnolo’s H.U.L.C carbon fibre and C-Lux finish, features the brand first introduced in 2021 with the Bora Ultra WTO wheelset.
