Zonda GT – Allround Granturismo
Don't hold back! Inner attitude is the decisive factor on every ride. Campagnolo GT series components put the spirit of free exploration above dry performance metrics, so you can leave the limits of everyday life behind on your next Gravel adventure. The Zonda GT wheels offer maximum versatility on any type of surface and are suitable for both wider off-road and narrower road bike tires.
The clever combination of the best Campagnolo technologies and an impressive anodized finish give the Zonda GT wheels the sophisticated look that characterizes all Campagnolo products. The aluminum wheels get their special touch above all from the iconic G3™ spoke geometry, which is not only used on the rear wheel, where it compensates for the stresses caused by braking and driving forces, but also on the front wheel to improve performance, especially under high braking loads. The 24 stainless steel spokes are connected to the rims on both the front and rear wheels by means of self-locking aluminum nipples, which allow for easy maintenance.
The structure of the rims themselves is not only hard-wearing, but also extremely light. This is due in particular to the cut-out design, which reduces the circumferential weight of the rim by saving material in the areas without a spoke connection, thus noticeably improving the acceleration behavior of the wheels. No less ingenious is the MoMag™ system, which enables an inner rim profile that is free of holes. While the C23 inner rim width ensures a wide range of tire compatibility, the simple yet elegant RDB™ concept ensures a well-balanced wheel.
To ensure long-lasting performance and smooth rolling behavior, the hubs feature a reliable system with cup and cone bearings. This not only guarantees an optimum contact angle between the balls and the surface, but also offers an adjustment sleeve for precise regulation of the bearing play.

2-Way Fit™ | An innovative rim profile on which both Tubeless tires and classic clincher tires can be mounted. With 2-Way Fit™, everyone can try out for themselves which of the two solutions suits them better. It is also possible to mount the wire bead or folding tires for daily training and use the Tubeless solution for the competition day. The Tubeless tire is undoubtedly the tire of the future for road cycling. In addition to greater comfort, better rolling characteristics due to the complete elimination of friction between the tire and inner tube are another advantage of the Tubeless tires. They are also protected against sudden air loss. And if you do get a puncture, the 2WF system allows you to simply remove the sealing valve and fit a normal inner tube for a trouble-free ride home.
RDB™ (Rim Dynamic Balance) | The concept is as simple as it is ingenious: the mass of the valve is compensated for by an equivalent mass on the exact opposite side.
G3™ Spoke Geometry | Campagnolo's iconic spoke geometry breaks with the conventional arrangement at road bike wheels. The groups of three parallel spokes are arranged in a 2:1 ratio from the hub. Due to the double number of spokes on one side, wheels with G3™ technology achieve a perfect balance of tension, which increases stiffness and improves power transmission. In addition, the triplet pattern reduces the occurrence of vibrations and micro-deformations of the rim under tension. While the rear wheel has more spokes on the drive side to absorb the forces that occur when pedaling and act on the cassette, the opposite is true for the front wheel, where the braking load is the decisive factor that needs to be absorbed.
MoMag™ | With the help of the patented "Mounting Magnet", the nipples previously inserted through the valve opening in the rim are guided to the corresponding opening. This allows the upper rim web to remain closed and clamping can be carried out from the outside. The closed rim bed not only has the advantage of greater stability, but also eliminates the need for rim tape when using clincher and folding tires, which in turn saves weight. The spokes can be tensioned tighter and changed more easily, the wheel is both stiffer and more resistant and the response is ultimately better.
The wheels are assembled entirely by hand by a specialist and 100 % checked using electronically controlled instruments. This process ensures the maximum performance and reliability of all Campagnolo wheels.
