Record 13

The new Campagnolo Record 13 groupset represents the pinnacle of mechanical engineering applied to road cycling. The heart of the innovation lies in the optimized sprocket spacing, which allows for the integration of the thirteenth gear without increasing the cassette's overall width. This maintains compatibility with standard frames through a dedicated chain that is thinner yet extremely durable.

The main components follow the brand's construction philosophy:

• Materials: Extensive use of unidirectional carbon fiber and titanium to ensure a class-leading stiffness-to-weight ratio.

• Ultra-Shift Technology: The Ergopower control maintains the ability to downshift up to 5 sprockets with a single gesture, offering crucial responsiveness during races.

• Derailleur: Redesigned with a parallel link system that ensures lightning-fast shifting even under high loads.

• Braking: Available in both Rim and Disc versions, with the latter leveraging Campagnolo hydraulic technology for millimeter-perfect modulation and high heat resistance.

This evolution is not a simple numerical update, but a refined kinematic optimization aimed at eliminating cadence "jumps," always ensuring the ideal gear ratio on any gradient.
