Thanks to the experience of the 13-speed Ekar gravel groupset, Campagnolo has reduced the distance between the sprockets and decreased their thickness, so as to house an “extra gear” in the same step and offer a complete set of ratios with a more homogeneous progression since the gear spacing is now very close.

The journey that led Campagnolo to this solution began last season, when the new chain and gear sizes were tested and approved by professional cyclists who used them in training and in competition. Campagnolo’s involvement in racing and with athletes for the development of products and new solutions is in the brand’s DNA and has once again been a key part of the innovation process.

Smooth transitions in the set of ratios and the resulting reduction of jumps between gears, allow the athlete to maintain the best cadence in every situation. Being able to manage your effort maximizes performance and finding the right cadence makes the difference between an effective and satisfying action and a tiring and disappointing experience. The usual Campagnolo N3W standard has been adopted as the space of the sprocket cassette has remained unchanged without the need for a dedicated body.
