The new Campagnolo Zonda wheelset continues the Italian groupset and component makers process of reinvention, with the latest addition to its line-up hitting a lower price point for all-road riding. If youve paid attention to Campagnolos launches recently, this might not come as a surprise. When the company released Record 13 in April, it said the new groupset spanned road, gravel and all-road bikes. It is also more affordable than the brands Super Record groupset by 1,400. At 1,420, the Zonda wheelset costs 870 less than the Bora X gravel wheelsets. Campagnolo says the new wheels offer the most direct access to Campagnolos carbon wheel range. Still Campagnolo The Campagnolo Zonda wheelset is said to focus on what truly matters. Campagnolo Campagnolo says the Zonda wheelset manages to provide access to its range of carbon wheels not by giving up details but by focusing on what truly matters. The Zonda wheels have a high-modulus unidirectional carbon rim thats 50mm deep with Campagnolos signature C-Lux direct-mould finish. The 25mm hooked internal rim can support tubeless tyres from 29mm to 40mm wide. Campagnolo says the wheels focus on the same engineering philosophy that defines all its products: premium materials, complete manufacturing control and lasting reliability. The hub features Campagnolo's signature G3 lacing pattern, using an asymmetric spoke layout to improve lateral stiffness and deliver immediate power transfer. The adjustable Cup & Cone bearing system reflects Campagnolo's long-standing philosophy of prioritising long-term performance. It preserves the smooth rolling feel that has always distinguished Campagnolo wheels, even after thousands of kilometres, the company says. Like Record 13, the wheels are manufactured entirely in Europe. A new generation Campagnolo says there is a new generation of cyclists. Campagnolo Although BikeRadars Warren Rossiter says we can leave all-road behind now endurance bikes have stopped flirting with gravel, Campagnolo appears committed to the label. Thats partly because of how it sees bikes changing. Campagnolo says: There was a time when every bike had a clearly defined purpose. A road bike for asphalt. A gravel bike for dirt. Today, that distinction no longer exists. All-road isn't about finding a compromise between road and gravel. It's about designing a wheel that feels equally at home on both, it continues. Campagnolo says this in-between category also suits new riders that sit between its performance road wheels, such as the Bora Ultra and Bora WTO, and gravel wheels, including the Bora X. Between these two worlds lies a new generation of cyclists. Riders who start on the road but don't want to stop when the road changes, it says. That's exactly where Zonda Carbon All Road belongs. A wheel that preserves the dynamic feel of a true Campagnolo road wheel while adding the versatility demanded by modern cycling. Making Campagnolo more accessible Campagnolo's Record 13 groupset launched in April. Campagnolo With its recent launches, it seems Campagnolo is aiming to make its products more accessible. Lower prices and greater versatility should in theory open the once-boutique brand up to more riders. The company has had a rocky time in recent years. Its Super Record Wireless groupset, launched in 2023, received a lacklustre response. The groupset appeared to be falling behind its competitors, and for the price of 4,499. This had arguably been a long time coming. Campagnolo positioned itself as a high-end brand in 2007. Ensuing world events and struggles in the cycling industry did little to help its ambitions, with the historic brand hitting financial troubles late last year. But the release of Super Record 13 and Super Record 13 X for 1x gravel and all-road bikes in 2025, and then the launch of Record 13 in April, means Campagnolo is firmly back in the conversation.
