Campy launches 11-speed groups

Campagnolo Super Record, Record and Chorus will receive the new 11-speed drivetrain. Centaur and Veloce remain 10-speed. The weights of the new groupsets: 2.145 grams for Chorus, 2.015 grams for Record and 1.964 grams for the Super Record. According to Campagnolo, every transmission component in the 11-speed groups was redesigned. This includes the Ergopower levers, front and rear derailleurs, chain, cassette and crankset. Campag’s engineers have improved the stiffness of the rear derailleur, with the aim of making more precise shifts.

Campy Record Red Ergopower

SPECIAL ERGOPOWER CONTROLS IN A LIMITED SERIES

Special Ergopower controls made for the professional teams are to be sold in a limited series. There will be 600 pairs and they will only be sold as complete Record groupsets with the same specifications as those of the racing teams: 39/53 crankset and 11-23 or 12-25 sprocket set.

Even though the peculiarities of these special Ergopower controls are in clear contrast to what the market has been asking for in recent years (softer and lighter actuating force), the demand has been conspicuous. It would in fact appear that some cyclists wish to feel the same sensations that professionals get when they are on their bicycles and want sharper and sonorous shifting.

The Record groupsets with special Ergopower controls will be available starting from mid March and at the same price as the standard Record groupset.

It can definitely turn your good mood into a bad one, but most of all, it can turn out to be seriously dangerous as well.

Campagnolo Ultra Torque Ceramic Bearing Retrofit

Competitive Cyclist now offers the service of retrofitting your existing Campagnolo Ultra Torque crankset to ceramic bearings. Their ceramic bearings are Grade 5 — the highest quality ceramic bearings available in the marketplace. An added benefit is that both sides of their bearings have seals. The stock Campy bearings are sealed on only one side (most likely to reduce drag). The added seal to these bearings gives them added longevity. You can rest assured that by upgrading to the performance benefits of ceramics, you aren’t giving up on component durability. Competitive Cyclist in Little Rock, Arkansas. Price: $175.00!
