RECORD ERGOPOWER CONTROLS

Now with 12 speeds: the ideal solution for any route.

Campagnolo never ceases to evolve and the range of drivetrains has taken on a new sophisticated element: The new 12-speed Record™ mechanical groupset is the iconic brand that has personified the world's greatest successes in cycling, in both professional and amateur races. The victories race bikes have achieved over the years with this groupset demonstrates the highest level of quality present in the processing, technology and premium materials that have always made it stand above the rest as a unique trademark product.

With the 12-speed Record™ groupset and Campagnolo® quality, satisfaction and victory are close at hand.

With the twelfth sprocket, a new era begins. Enthusiasts will be able to gain unprecedented levels of versatility on their bikes along with the quality and reliability that Campagnolo is known for. The new Record™ 12x2 groupset project was started from a clean slate and all of the components were redesigned. Performance was improved but the dimensions remained the same so that it is compatible with the frames and wheels currently on the market. The 12v chain is thinner than the previous version yet its lifespan is greater or at least the same as the 11v model. The crankset was completely redesigned with the objective of being effective even with the most severe angles of chain crossing. Likewise, the single version of the rear derailleur has a jockey cage that can support sprockets with up to 32 teeth and the front derailleur has been lightened to reduce the size, whilst maintaining its effectiveness on different frames and types of bicycles.

All of this combines with Campagnolo's experience in Dual Pivot and Direct Mount brakes to offer powerful, modulable braking in any situation, including races, without compromising on practical brake assembly or cable tension adjustment.

The new mechanical Ergopower Record™ 12x2 Speed Rim Brake controls: aesthetically pleasing and functional.

The new carbon unidirectional levers lend the Record Rim Brake controls an air of power, stiffness and reliability. These new controls allow riders to select two different lever-handlebar positions spaced to adapt to the size of the hand, whilst keeping braking efficiency constant. This is accomplished through the new angle of the up-shifting lever that prevents any possible contact with the curve of the handlebar. The position of the lever is adjusted by acting directly on the controls in a simple and safe manner.

The Vari-Cushion technology offers an ergonomic, comfortable and safe support and grip. The “one lever-one action” feature assigns each lever one function to prevent shifting errors. The Ultra-Shift mechanism enables upshifting up to three sprockets at a time and downshifting a full five. The new Record™ 12x2 Speed Rim Brake levers introduce a double curvature to improve grip and thus safety.
