The premium\u00a0carbon-fiber wheelset adopts a series of subtle styling cues that complement Campagnolo\u2019s\u00a0groundbreaking 13-speed Ekar gravel groupset, completing an understated yet head-turning aesthetic.\u00a0Beneath the beauty lies a series of in-house technological innovations designed to enable fast, fun, and\u00a0controlled gravel riding, with a strong focus on handling and ride feel.\u00a0Underpinning it all is a considered engineering approach that makes no compromise on durability and\u00a0serviceability, making the wheelset an ideal choice for off-the-beaten-track adventures.<\/p>\n<p>Priced at $1899.95 USD with an N3W hub, Levante is available now.<\/p>\n<h3>H.U.L.C Construction & C-LUX Finish<\/h3>\n<p>Stiff for climbing, light for handling, and compliant for descending, Levante\u00a0benefits from Campagnolo\u2019s Hand Made Ultra-Light Carbon (H.U.L.C).\u00a0H.U.L.C is used in the wheels\u2019 rim construction and is the result of\u00a0extensive development over decades of in-house carbon fiber molding,\u00a0enabling Campagnolo\u2019s engineers to optimize the usage of both fiber\u00a0and bonding resin for the perfect blend of strength, stiffness, and light\u00a0weight. This translates into a confidence-inspiring ride feel without\u00a0undue harshness and an overall wheelset weight of just 1485g with no\u00a0compromise on strength.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_101991\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-101991\" style=\"width: 678px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0J1A5331.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"101991\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/2022\/04\/29\/campagnolo-unveils-levante-gravel-wheelset\/campagnol-levante-shoot-5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0J1A5331.jpg?fit=900%2C600&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"900,600\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"3.2","credit":"James Cheadle","camera":"Canon EOS R5","caption":"Campagnolo Levante shoot with Nathan Haas on Mount Etna","created_timestamp":"1647249857","copyright":"James Cheadle","focal_length":"200","iso":"125","shutter_speed":"0.00125","title":"Campagnol Levante Shoot","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"Campagnol Levante Shoot\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"<p>Campagnolo Levante shoot with Nathan Haas on Mount Etna<\/p>\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0J1A5331.jpg?fit=300%2C200&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0J1A5331.jpg?fit=800%2C533&ssl=1\" class=\"size-mh-magazine-content wp-image-101991\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0J1A5331.jpg?resize=678%2C381&ssl=1\" alt=\"Campagnolo Levante Gravel Wheels\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-101991\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Campagnolo Levante shoot with Nathan Haas on Mount Etna<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The rim also sports a stunning mirror-like Campagnolo Luxury (C-LUX)\u00a0finish. This C-LUX finish is so pristinely smooth that it doesn\u2019t require\u00a0lacquer, saving more valuable grams. When applied to the rim bed, as first\u00a0seen on the brand\u2019s ultra-premium Bora Ultra WTO wheelset, C-LUX also\u00a0helps to ensure the safest possible seating of tubeless tires and further\u00a0reduces the risk of abrasions to the bead. Levante couples this practical\u00a0and beautiful finish with durable laser-etched rim graphics capable of<br \/>\nwithstanding the demands of gravel riding.<\/p>\n<h3>Durable and Versatile<\/h3>\n<p>Campagnolo\u2019s consideration for durability goes far beyond the aesthetic, however. Levante is built to last and has been tested extensively\u00a0against leading competitors on this metric. At the rim, premium H.U.L.C\u00a0construction combines with an asymmetric offset for a strong and balanced\u00a0wheel that can take the rough with the smooth.<\/p>\n<p>A simple and familiar cup and cone hub system meanwhile ensures ease\u00a0of servicing and external nipples allow for on-the-go spoke retensioning if\u00a0needed, with no new tools required. Equally, Levante\u2019s adoption of a regular\u00a0spoke pattern, using straight-pull spokes, means that replacements (if ever\u00a0needed) are easy to source and fit no matter where the road takes you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1200\" data-carousel-extra='{"blog_id":1,"permalink":"https:\\\/\\\/www.bikeworldnews.com\\\/2022\\\/04\\\/29\\\/campagnolo-unveils-levante-gravel-wheelset\\\/","likes_blog_id":4425502}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1200px;

Campagnolo\u2019s two-way fit rim\u00a0profile ensures tubeless and clincher compatibility while the 25mm internal\u00a0rim width can accommodate a broad range of tire widths from 38mm to\u00a076mm (1.5-3.0\u201d). Combined with its middle ground 30mm rim depth, this\u00a0makes Levante suitable for every ride – from fast gravel races to multi-day\u00a0off-piste bikepacking trips.<\/p>\n<h3>Mini-Hook<\/h3>\n<p>The wheelset\u2019s Mini-Hook has been designed specifically for this rim and\u00a0matches the ETRTO requirements using the minimal dimension possible.\u00a0As a result, the slight hook provides a perfect match between the tire \u2013 no\u00a0matter the brand \u2013 and the rim. This means a large contact surface area\u00a0with the terrain, increasing grip and improving comfort at lower pressures.\u00a0The Mini-Hook system is fully compliant with ETRTO clincher and tubeless\u00a0safety standards.<\/p>\n<h3>N3W\u2122<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/campagnolo-levante-700C-wheelset-disc-brake-front-hub-2022.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"101986\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/2022\/04\/29\/campagnolo-unveils-levante-gravel-wheelset\/campagnolo-levante-700c-wheelset-disc-brake-front-hub-2022\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/campagnolo-levante-700C-wheelset-disc-brake-front-hub-2022.jpg?fit=1457%2C1457&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1457,1457\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"25","credit":"Foto Factory","camera":"Canon EOS 6D","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1632137051","copyright":"Foto Factory","focal_length":"123","iso":"100","shutter_speed":"0.01","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"campagnolo-levante-700C-wheelset-disc-brake-front-hub-2022\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/campagnolo-levante-700C-wheelset-disc-brake-front-hub-2022.jpg?fit=300%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/campagnolo-levante-700C-wheelset-disc-brake-front-hub-2022.jpg?fit=800%2C800&ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-101986 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/campagnolo-levante-700C-wheelset-disc-brake-front-hub-2022.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1\" alt=\"Campagnolo Levante N3W hub\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/campagnolo-levante-700C-wheelset-disc-brake-front-hub-2022.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/campagnolo-levante-700C-wheelset-disc-brake-front-hub-2022.jpg?resize=300%2C300&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/campagnolo-levante-700C-wheelset-disc-brake-front-hub-2022.jpg?resize=800%2C800&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/campagnolo-levante-700C-wheelset-disc-brake-front-hub-2022.jpg?resize=768%2C768&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/campagnolo-levante-700C-wheelset-disc-brake-front-hub-2022.jpg?w=1457&ssl=1 1457w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>The perfect companion to Campagnolo\u2019s game-changing Ekar groupset,\u00a0Levante utilizes Campagnolo\u2019s Next 3 Ways (N3W) freehub body.
