Campagnolo resurrects the Hyperon wheelset to sit alongside the Bora range

Campagnolo resurrects the Hyperon wheelset to sit alongside the Bora range

Many of us had assumed the Hyperon wheelset had simply gone extinct. A victim of a world where a pure climber’s wheelset was no longer a viable choice for a rider who wants a sprinkle of aerodynamic efficiency. However, it appears that, like the volcano Stromboli, it was simply dormant for a little while, waiting to erupt once again. 

This latest version aims to bring the benefits of a traditional climbing wheel (think lightweight and responsive) into a more modern package. Our list of the best road bike wheels is ever-growing, but dominated by aero options, so it’s refreshing to see an option that seems to target the best lightweight wheels segment.
