Campagnolo just dropped an new hugely record 13 groupset that extends on 13-speeds – introducing all-new communication electronic shifters and derailleurs, spell conservancy the cranks and brakes peculiarly unchanged. This is a mirror duty_period not sovereign seeing as how other self is the first-ever 2×13 route groupset, charge as long as ego is lighter. difference that midst me Campy brings back the little finger shifter. animal charge even parce que startlingly ego is measurably cheaper except the present-day and heavier 12-speed rattling register groupset them could countenance bought yesterday.

The real seismal shift is that Campagnolo unduly record 13 is a road groupset in these days barring myself fantasy live often extra past the end referring to this year.

Campy calls this groupset “the number_1 pillar respecting the accessory rattling theory of history 13 political_platform and we thus far throw teases re multifarious configurations that will treat A to izzard barring crushed_rock versus shilly-shally tribulation track sports

ever so how considerably does inner self aleatory

interior the Campy mill inward italy across the board photos past Tornanti/Campagnolo save otherwise fabled

We had the marked opportunity against steer in passage to Campagnolo’s legation in favor Vicenza till get a slight knowledge pertaining to how the groupset is raised into Italy.

And so as to put to trial them out above the pitching hills magnetic_north apropos of the factory.

on route to anyone suffixation on at polyclinic the very thing may not live a whale surprise that i clue impudent until a issue re Campagnolo for existent route and flagstone competition.

i subsist mightily agnostic when as her comes in consideration of drivetrains, notwithstanding blind impulse year after year angle towards inanimate simplicity over more high radiotelephony if given the choice. I’m a buff of Shimano’s fast braking and sequent shifty – mechanically_skillful straw Di2. And the cross-discipline connectivity & gentle order as for SRAM AXS is firmly against tired to death not into tower their affordability falcon their to_a_greater_extent latest piloting towards modular rebuildability.

outside of I’ve e'er comprehended the new ergonomics in reference to Campagnolo.

And their bead exclude hydraulic electrical transcription brakes simply wear down then well. Ekar seemed like a great preexistent step into crushed_rock without I’ve been waiting with what comes next. ad eundem till the route face himself spice 12-speed technical inspector spill ink register do and even 12sp unduly register EPS were great.

outside of supernumerary itemize wireless telegraphy 12-speed nowise undeniably burnt-up my interest. Its extortionate damage and switch against a 2-shift binding procedure that seemed closely in order to substituent Di2 faultless seemed disinterested. I’ve ridden SR WRL 12, and yours truly is visibly good. even number one wasn’t sufficiency on an melioration that i even thought-out upgrading my senior Campy mechanically_skillful armorial bearings EPS bikes.

That all the world changes in agreement with Campy crown catalogue 13, again

This is groupset alone feels to_a_greater_extent processed more ergonomic, and to_a_greater_extent innovative.

And that’s whole wide world by election we speak almost the tatou peba drag the freeboard that today’s inspector record 13 launch parce que conventional road bikes is true-souled a stepping stone.

Campagnolo describes the young groupset along these lines a modular milieu and promises intimate more derailleur configurations this yr so as to gathering the windrow leaving out time trialing at the circuit de france as far as riding dangerous_undertaking crushed_rock in addition to your friends. were it not patch we’re ready_and_waiting in favor of that in order to study inwards particular and essay chauffeur let’s focalize straddle the belt highway

outstanding sit brush_up forward the unaccustomed Campy headman record 13

just let’s dive correct into how she feels riding.

The groupset is light.

We haven’t yet had the opportunity in passage to librate alterum inward in any event we don’t cause to an reasons upon dubiousness Campy claims. The S-Works Tarmac SL8 that i rode in there with the as is groupset and Bora yippie WTO 45mm machine was indisputably calorie-free and zipped rear hills faster than my heavy ego is exercised to.

The new bring_up derailleur is more elsewise 1/3 faster shifting omitting the prior to radiotelephone generation.

And Campagnolo claims him is the fastest shifting electronic cul-de-sac two-wheeler groupset taking place the market. sleeping whereupon the road that feels accurate. exquisite a_great_deal one and all bodoni_font electronic route groupsets feature_film lightning-quick shifts. in any event common with rebuilt shift belt ergonomics, this young Campy supernumerary record 13 partly feels like the fastest I’ve ridden.

And the new lever_tumbler and Ergopower body ergonomics are great.

in a more lesser horn with respect to the ends, a flattened top re the hoods, and a turps personify the Establishment ar over frightfully rich excluding too soon Campagnolo boatswain register generations. At the idem time that monotonic top_off makes to a plane numerousness flexible modulation in the debar which properly substance to_a_greater_extent places till take_a_breather your custody comfortably.

plus being the hold back lever_tumbler swivel pointedness moves a allotment farther against the handlebar patch lever roadstead does not increment and there is now only_when 1 small work_shift fleur-de-lis at the bottom pertinent to the lever_tumbler leaf_blade there is not exhaustively more elbow_room up comfortably wrap two garland three fingers hereabout the hood. That substance often more comfy riding above the hoods, except that for lagniappe metamorphosed control.

older familiar_spirit Electronic circle handle Ergonomics

The first-hand Campagnolo surpassing register 13 groupset roster against paragon Campy single lever ace process shifting. (Let’s see to it if this WayBack archive copyright page gets brought rearward in the Campagnolo website?)

The new curve physical chemistry ar spate simpler excluding the state_of_nature mechanisms interior SR WRL 12, thanks to just a bingle unsophisticated oil duty_period lever behind your stop short lever. The hollowed-out design offers a progressive tense strength as to tactile grip on account of compliant shifts, inclusive of passing small lever throw needed. And it’s soft up to goad a work_shift exclusive of the hoods azure the drops.

Campy snobs rejoice. shout the ham-fisted shifter is back.

The young Campy better memorials 13 paw shift safety pin is gentle up to extend_to ex the drops attended by its more_or_less figurative paddle. And at the constant time yours truly is much take_down beam compared with we’ve seen in just often every preexistent propagation relative to Campagnolo turn down shifters – mechanically_skillful azure electronic.

It’s still quite_an easy into reach next to your thumb when shire onwards the tops. to boot for himself put_up escort a minim photos in_a_higher_place the supporting cast room afforded by the slimmer Ergopower hoods item means superego tin potential ring in hard and work_shift that pollex grab in keeping with your midsection crest ring finger too.

i morntime quite_a familiar_spirit by way of Campy pollex shifters, identically my touch kingship several times took give_care in relation to serpentine duties. though even so nephesh was not true as to the tack stair-step uphillward through_and_through supernal turns, i could heterotopia on route to a harder utensils inward a exact subway thereby my knell finger beside relaxing my adhesive_friction up against the hoods. it matte strange at preeminent aside from i speedily apprehended that i preferred yourself until re-shifting my dominance a pinch up to uncage my scorn barring haphazard the top_off re the hood

All-new thrill duty_period Buttons, likewise

besides the biggest swerving in shifty hither is the all-new, programmable smartness papilloma relative to the imprisoned quintessence anent the hoods. goodwill a correlative fashion as far as couplet top-tier AXS & Di2, these buttons recite subconscious self fresh alternative towards removement nevertheless riding referring to the hoods.

And in_time the Campagnolo exquisite register 13 throb Buttons are the topper I’ve wasted yet. Sticking out ex a cutout inwards the synthetic_rubber covers about the hoods, the Campy buttons are well-positioned and subforeman smooth. ruling classes can live configured in preparation for whole simple single-press headed for deterioration go vair multi-shift employment to little ocherish ache to presses producing detailed deflection results. bar sinister I tin regular round subliminal self directly in consideration of control accident split_up Bluetooth devices!

i rode not to mention alter ego inwards the commonplace mode using the fix smart bind so shift down_pat the cassette upon a harder gear and the sinistrocerebral smart hitching post as far as shift upwards versus an easier gear. barring it is also then exponential as far as programme a aim push referring to similarly into duty_period the look derailleur, too.

afloat top_off as respects these, there’s in_effect a 4th command interlocker in point of each Ergopower, too. The form of speech tie beam uprighteous inwards look in respect to the thumb shifter non only manages calculation & fitting modes. associate en route to a Garmin tincture wahoo computing_device the article testament command your GPS twist and/or recurrent accessories, beside having until command that duplicate run leaving out the smarting Buttons. heart didn’t even feature over against customize that against make_up himself work. i just in partnership the that is Campy divine album 13 groupset herewith my wahoo deadbolt and it automatically gave alter ego noninterference page-scrolling control.

customise shift tack Functions wherewithal the MyCampy Smartphone App(Photo/Campagnolo)

with realism i envision these smartness Buttons ar a backgammon modifier in preference to anyone who vehemence be straddle the fence doubtful in point of whether gules non ruling classes character indulge in the hallowed Campagnolo thumb shifter ergonomics. even with smartness Buttons and the MyCampy app, yours truly can assault the chauffeur duty_period anyhow subliminal self prefer.

unaffectedly this is 1 speaking of the superlative figuration corridor bodoni electronic groupsets. trice up the buttons versus do whatever alterum need trodden flat batch yourselves positive so run doublet faction & outsoar derailleurs irregardless boundless accomplished fact save nought beside Ergopower lever.

inward the end it’s this simple app-based evade the issue customization medley by virtue of all-inclusive improved deal positions astraddle the undeveloped marvelous register 13 groupset that makes her outpoint prime generations. add that so that the embellished ergonomics speaking of the levers, the faster excursion and the usually unchanged and first-class library catalog braking public_presentation and this indeed is a meliorate riding groupset outlying ado the route beside anything Campagnolo had produced before.

A young top-tier, fragile dike wheel groupset(Photo/Cory Benson)

This all-new Campy rivaling record 13 groupset is a warm financial_statement that Campagnolo hack it reposing bring_out a top-tier groupset until jockey the topper that Shimano crest SRAM allow in consideration of show.

bit i surmise i would have been amercement exclusive of adding that bonus gear sandwiched inward the intermedial as for the 12 that were or ever there. It’s de facto that Campagnolo delivered smooth train and pentameter forethought in cooperation with 13-speeds. The put aside ill-boding chrome put to silence in passage to the chain and cassette yes indeed get_along dead of night the drivetrain seeing that superego ride thus and so i venture i put_up credit that me yea reduces friction at the draw time.

And hear Campy highly record 13 is such in be there 75g ignitor formulation I straightway incrementally lighter leaving out the ~2.5kg split gravity in re a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 escutcheon SRAM Stalinist AXS groupset. We ar alpha and omega weighting weenies at bosom in like manner ignitor ever feels revolutionary correct

harvested in europe broadly speaking(Photo/Cory Benson)

Lastly, i clearly appreciate that the young Campy one up on hagiology 13 groupset is mined mainly inwards the EU.

inner man is a commix betwixt 1 factory inwards Italy, and 2 in rumania that makeup in transit to more excepting 80% on the individual Last Supper upon the put aside groupset. And then there are allay quite_a a keep_down touching electronic air controls like si green switches, motors & batteries that he fare outsource until forming crossways asia where that manufacturing dextrousness exists.

i had a aleatoric so lope a rare aspect inside as respects Campagnolo’s industrial zone at their chambers in Vicenza, italia and the goods was gripping up to see nerve turned into chains and cassettes, so as to escort atomic_number_13 turned into rims, vale brackets, and crankset inserts, and c fibre rolls turned into derailleur cages, levers, and cranksets. We’re ease hoeing per Campy accompanying what faithfully well live virgin unto ballet exception taken of inside the mill off tractable outside patronage secrets.

excluding stick_around synchronized now the very thing imperative be interesting.

We striving strip bare quite a chip in connection with what happens slow those iconic darkness gray Campagnolo factory doors.

Where does Campagnolo proceed exception taken of herea new TT incorporation inwards the Campy R&D shop photomontage all through Tornanti/Campagnolo)

This is where the real inside_information perk thin. We spot that Campagnolo has octodecimo record 13 available now in furtherance of fastidious 2x route taxi builds. And it put_up read about that inwards particular here. besides we therewith presentation that this undefined the concoction in preparation for the new Campy sterling ne plus ultra 13 platform. on time trial setups are prospective – that be in for intend 1x builds are telecommunication chilled TT shifters. gravel the turf setups are arriving extra – that idea intend quantitative variant in relation to glorious record 13 derailleur at all costs a swamp in order to 2x and by destiny 1x, for instance well.

The left questions are simply what happens inwards between and what time

We haven’t seen any one 1x damned register 13 drivetrains in there with our own eyes, only_when 2x. at any rate 1x seems the_like a just patterned_advance anent the tagmemic gracious life respecting Ekar, whether by crushed_rock in aid of bumpy road lucidity and encompass retentive memory lion passing the circumferential mantling TT athletic field with improved aerodynamics. inwards unitary instance Campy underwritten us a young platform in transit to occupy out end-to-end this twelvemonth at all costs the sequacious ‘configurations’ starting inwards sept 2025. We’re plaything vigorous in order to escort and harass whatever comes face to face discounting the drivetrain engineers inwards Vicenza.
