Your complete guide to Campagnolo road bike groupsets: It's RIP Potenza and Centaur, hello Super Record Wireless in the latest version of our comprehensive guide to Campagnolo's current range... cycling
Let's kick off with Campagnolo's latest baby, the remarkable Ekar gravel bike groupset, which Campagnolo says is the lightest gravel groupset you can buy.
Just as Shimano and SRAM have come up with new freehub body shapes to handle small sprockets, so Campagnolo has introduced the N3W freehub body. It stands for Next 3 Ways and denotes a freehub body that's 4.4mm shorter than Campagnolo's previous body but has the same spline shape. The shorter length allows the nine- and ten-tooth sprockets to hang off the end.
The single-ring carbon fibre Ekar chainset is available with 38, 40, 42 and 44-tooth chainrings and in 165, 170, 172.5 and 175mm lengths. You can change the chainring with the cranks on the bike for easy tweaking of gearing. A new axle and bottom bracket design that Campagnolo calls ProTech means the Ultra-Torque style semi-axles are joined with a single bolt while the outboard bearings are protected from the elements by multiple seals.
The launch of Super Record Wireless is quite a departure from the rest of the Campagnolo range, because the famous thumb shifters are gone, replaced by paddles that shift both up and down behind the brake levers. Of course, there are also no shifting wires for the first time on a Campag groupset as the name suggests.
