Campagnolo Ekar 13V Group

Ekar, the new generation 1x13 gravel transmission

Ekar is not only the lightest gravel group in the world: it is also reliable, durable and fast. Thanks to the first 9-tooth pinion, the exclusive and innovative Ekar 1x13 transmission specific for gravel offers a complete range of gears with smooth and natural shifting for a perfect cadence, whatever your speed and whatever your gravel riding style.

Ekar was born on the mountain that gave him his name and with which he shares unmistakable and authentic characteristics. Cima Ekar is a small paradise full of fascinating and varied gravel routes in the Venetian Prealps. It is not the highest peak, it is not the steepest climb and it is not among the classic peaks of the Corsa Rosa or other great Italian cycling races. But it embodies the essence of gravel at its best: it is almost as if it was created to make us meet, explore and venture together, to test our technical ability, fitness and desire to be together. It is a special playground with character for cyclists that represents the charm of Italian gravel; unique, but that has the characteristics of the countless unpaved roads, natural trails and thrilling singletrack of all that world that we call "gravel".

Cima Ekar changes with the seasons, changes its appearance surprising us every time. To get maximum fun and performance on technical climbs, thrilling descents and rolling routes, you need to make sure that you and your bike can tame them together in perfect harmony. You need a range of gear ratios that is not only wide, but also spaced to work smoothly with your cadence regardless of terrain. Cima Ekar is where the 13-speed system would have worked really well. Climb over the roots, furrows and walk the descents of gravel trails and you will want the best chain safety that only a specially designed 1x system can guarantee. It is on Mount Ekar that the countless tests have shown the true capabilities of the group that is therefore ready for your every adventure. Mix the sweat of sustained effort with spring drizzle and you'll be delighted with the ergonomically flawless Ergopower Ekar controls with a firm grip in all circumstances. In order to maintain a sustained pace, of course, you need to know that you can brake just as quickly, with the power and modulation that allows you to always maintain control. Once again, it was our long descents from Mount Ekar that showed us the way.
