Campagnolo Ekar Rear Derailleur - 13-speed - black

Born on Mt. Ekar - The Campagnolo 1x13-speed Gravel drivetrain Just as Campagnolo’s ground-breaking first quick release lever can trace its origins to the Passo Croce D’Aune climb, the innovative gravel-focused Ekar groupset was born on another summit local to today's Campagnolo headquarters: the Ekar. With its asphalt giving way to tracks and trails, climbs and descents the Ekar epitomises the special challenges of Italian Gravel riding. The Ekar components deliver a 1x13-speed transmission the way it should be: wide range, close ratio and no compromise. Campagnolo Ekar rear derailleur The all-new design of the Campagnolo Ekar rear derailleur has been created specifically for Gravel. The highly effective 1x13-speed drivetrain has a full gearing range with short, evenly spaced shifts for well-maintained cadence levels, with the strong and durable yet lightweight and efficient derailleur at its heart. The combination of more than 70 moving parts lovingly crafted in carbon fiber, carbon-reinforced polyamide and anodized aluminium 7075 and 6082 - with stainless steel bolts - exceeds the demands of all-road riding to combine quick, precise, reliable shifting with high chain security and toughness.
