The new Levante represents the culmination of the Campagnolo technologies that have been adapted specifically for use in Gravel biking. Designed, developed and tested on the most challenging and demanding terrain around Cima Ekar, Levante is the first Campagnolo wheel specifically designed for gravel, incorporating all the features needed to deliver the maximum performance and elegance that are typical of Campagnolo wheels.
Named after the Easterly wind of the Mediterranean, Levante brings a host of proven Campagnolo technologies to the gravel scene and is designed for off-road adventures and racing alike. The premium carbon-fiber wheelset adopts a series of subtle styling cues that complement Campagnolo’s groundbreaking 13-speed Ekar gravel groupset, completing an understated yet head-turning aesthetic. Beneath the beauty lies a series of in-house technological innovations designed to enable fast, fun and controlled gravel riding, with a strong focus on handling and ride feel. Underpinning it all is a considered engineering approach that makes no compromise on durability and serviceability, making the wheelset an ideal choice for off-the-beaten track adventures.

H.U.L.C.
Levante rims use the same H.U.L.C Handmade Ultra-Light Carbon molding process as our pro race dominating Bora Ultra WTO rims. This highly evolved manufacturing technique creates guaranteed defect free rims for maximum strength to weight ratio and flawless cosmetic finishing straight from the mold. It also assures a perfect tubeless fit and wide pressure range security for the 2-Way fit mini tire hook profile.
Levante rims use a unique, meticulously tested carbon fiber and resin blend to increase strength and durability even further.
C-LUX
Campagnolo Luxury (C-LUX) finish is the incomparable mirror smooth surface that adds significant performance and practical gains to a shimmeringly beautiful aesthetic.
Blemish free from the mould, C-LUX rims need no filler or lacquer to mask mistakes. This saves weight and stops flaking or other creeping cosmetic damage so Levante rims stay beautiful, however tough the ride.
The flawless internal surface gives a secure, easy fit tubeless tire seal. It even prolongs tire life by reducing abrasion when switching treads for different seasons and situations.
Levante wheels celebrate their adventurous spirit with subtle laser etched, asymmetric matte graphics reflected in the hub bodies. If you look carefully they even have the coordinates to guide you to the birthplace of Campagnolo gravel - the breathtaking Mt Ekar observatory.
Mini Hook
Levante’s 25mm internal rim width can accommodate a broad range of tire widths from 38mm to 76mm, for racing or riding in varied terrain. The shallow center channel makes initial sealing of the 2-Way tubeless tire fit easily and cleanly as you inflate.
The small dimensions of mini-hook guarantee a much cleaner transition between the rim and the tire. Like a hook-less rim, it avoids a “lightbulb” shaped profile when using larger tires, providing enhanced stability and grip benefits. Mini-hook also provides added security when using smaller volume tires at higher pressures in comparison to a hook-less rim. This system complies with ETRTO clincher and tubeless standards so Levante wheels can be teamed with your favorite rubber, whatever the brand.
The asymmetric offset of the rim creates a stronger overall wheel thanks to more balanced spoke tensions. This translates into a tighter, lighter and more responsive wheel that’s still tough enough to tackle off trails on a loaded bike.
Conventional spoke lacing strategy builds a predictably accurate and stiff wheel that still rides with a forgiving compliance to increase control, sustain rough surface speed and significantly reduce fatigue.
The round nosed 30mm depth perfectly balances aero advantage with vice free handling.
N3W
Built components that can last a lifetime of riding so we make sure new technology doesn’t leave your equipment obsolete. Campagnolo’s patented N3W freewheel body, a standard compatible with Campagnolo cassettes past and present, supports the latest 13 speed cassettes, so you can access the unique extra gear ratio advantages of the EKAR transmission.
The same ingenious spline design is still compatible with older 12 and 11 speed cassettes. The sculpted, anodized body is also 4.4mm shorter, making it lighter but with the same epic durability.
