With silver rims too - something different! But then they should have the hubs in silver also. With black spokes that would look great. Whaddaya think?


Campagnolo presents
the Eurus Carbon

The new Eurus Carbon wheel takes over the top of Campagnolo?s medium profile range.
The medium profile rim with a height of 30 mm, the same as the Eurus wheels, has a silver-satin anodized finish. The black aerodynamic spokes, 16 for the front wheel and 21 for the rear, feature the exclusive Ultralinear geometry. The hubs are those of the Bora, in variable-section structural carbon with an oversized rear hub right-hand flange. This solution considerably enhances the performance of the Eurus Carbon wheel, increasing its torsional rigidity. Its nominal weight is only 1,520 g per pair.
The result is an ideal wheel for winning a sprint in the Tour de France or simply for everyday training.

The Carbon Eurus will be available in the clincher tire version only with Campagnolo and HG compatible freewheel body.

I just ordered a pair of the 2004 Neutrons. Wonder if it's too late to change my order? :)

Actually, I looked at the Eurus's (non-carbon version) close, but I couldn't get entirely comfortable with the funky spoking pattern in the back.

Those look sweet, though.

I actually wanted a pair of original Eurus but I just never like the look of the black/silver semi aero rims, yes... it's a personal thang.... I can't really see the whole wheel from the pic but it looks different which is good... but why did they have to put that carbon shell on the hubs though? I have Hyperon tubulars and they make sense there but on these new Eurus I am not sure whether they make sense as far as weight saving vs added cost is concerned let alone the looks.... I wonder how much them wheels going to cost?

I'm going to say - I dunno - at LEAST $1600. knowing Campy's prices on their other carbon models.

I don't mind if they're black or silver I guess, as long as the styling is consistent and complimentary, that's all.

Keep the neutrons! They're tough as nails & weigh just about the same as those hyper expensive carbon things. And the wheel won't go out of true when you bust one of those G3 spokes ;-)

(Not that I'ver ever had a spoke break on a Campag wheel)

I paid for my Hyperons.... come to think of it I guess I'd propbably prefer hubs to be black though ( I'd think all silver would make them look kinda retro ) but not carbon as that's not the type of wheel I am thinking of Eurus as.... Carbon hub shells are nice but they add cost to the point that they are not worth it... at least for me...I mean I paid less for my all CF Stratus DV tubulars! If they are, say, less than 1G I'd think about it though.... and also I wish Campy makes some alteration to their clincher rim design that it'd be easier to put tires on...they are such a darn pain!

Are these available now or are they an interbike item? If so, where can they be found? How much lighter are they in comparison to the regular Euros?

As my post above says, the carbon Eurus' are 1520g., and Campy specs the '04 Al Eurus' at 1560g.

Otherwise, I gave you all the info I know on them at this time.

According to VELONEWS the cost per pair is going to be $1000. Hard to believe.

That IS a good MSRP to start with, considering Campy prices. Seems that carbon parts are going down in price gradually but steadily as more is marketed.

I don't doubt that in a few years, the two top Campy groups will be nearly 100% carbon (or at least Record will) and most of their wheelsets too. I'm waiting to see them make a carbon chain & cogs, or maybe some sort of ceramic/carbon "alloy", if it can be done?!

Mind you the only thing carbon will be the hubs, which makes an additional $300 seem steep.

If true, then my mistake 52-16SS. I was under the assumption that the new Eurus' would be the next carbon-rimmed-and-hubbed 'aero' offering, (albeit a bit lower in the pecking order than the Bora's ;) ) leaving the Hyperon's as the carbon-rimmed climber.(?) Then the Zonda's and Neutron's would be the top all-Al wheels.

U mean U thought the rim of the new Eurus wheel of the pic you posted are made out of carbon but painted silver? Not that it matters but I am little confused about your first post now....

The way I get it ( just from what everyone has said so far here) is that Campy is putting out two versions of new Eurus(?) One all alloy version and the other being alloy rim w/ carbon shelled hubs.

Yep, that's what I thought. :confused: Thinking Vicenza might want to get a semi-aero carbon wheel out as an alternative to the uber-climbing Hyperon, and more affordable than the Bora, but make it look different than all of the other black wonder's on the market.

I might have just given Campy a great idea...(yeah right!)

But I would think this new Eurus would replace the '04 version, mainly because the '04 Zonda is so similar to the Eurus now.

Saving 40 grams for the set, plus considering the weight savings is at the hub is not great. If you saved the 40 at the rims, it would make a small difference. I'll keep mine, plus I like the all black wheelset.

I do love my Eurus's.

Hey Juan - very :cool: avatar. What is "up" with the mini-sombrero tho'? Maybe I shouldn't go there....! :D LMAO!

Did I get a chance to thank you for the heads-up on Greenfish? Well thanks my man - I saved a ton of loot on a new group package: '04 Centaur rear der, levers, & cassette, and Record chain & '03 Zondas. I am now officially back to being a Happy Campy-er again.

BTW - speaking of small weight improvements which may or may not help - I picked the '03s instead of the '04s for 2 reasons, 1- because I figured the G4 front pattern of the '03 Zonda might be a tad stronger, what with 20 spokes instead of 18 for the '04s and half of the spokes 1x instead of all radial; 2- because the '03 rear is supposed to be 40gm. less than the '04.

Of course, the argument can be made that Campy's HPW radial spoking is stronger than their J-bend spoking, thanks to higher tension, etc.

Then again, if we over-think this stuff it could lead to impotence, madness, and a desire to vote for George Bush....
