From the adaptability of a single bike that rides as effortlessly on asphalt as it does on gravel roads and singletrack to the most adventurous bike-packing expeditions. The new Ekar GT groupset, paired with Zonda GT wheels, embodies the vision of Campagnolo, with GT (Gran Turismo) encouraging cyclists of all disciplines to embrace “don’t hold back” as their motto.
Ekar GT Groupset
Ekar GT is designed to be incredibly versatile, offering a wide-range 1×13 drivetrain with the combination of four cassette options (9-36, 9-42, 10-44,10-48) and five chainrings (44, 42, 40, 38, and the new 36).
This extensive range of options enables every cyclist to select the gear ratio that suits their specific adventure and is Campagnolo’s widest gear range.
The new aluminum crankset ensures optimal power transfer through Ultra-TorqueTM and ProTechTM technologies. Additionally, the convenience of changing the chainring without dismantling the crankset enhances the overall user experience. The entire drivetrain is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, with simple adjustments and the inclusion of a clutch to keep chain chatter to a minimum.
The new derailleur cage works for the entire range of cassette options, a first for wide gravel gearing. Drawing from the Ekar experience, the Ekar GT groupset features a larger pulley to prevent mud build-up and simplify cleaning.
The redesigned lever controls ensure all-day comfort, with a lever reach adjustment accommodating hands of all sizes. The materials are chosen for strength, durability, and ease of maintenance. Weighing just 2,700 grams, the new Campagnolo Ekar GT groupset stands out amongst the crowd with its new graphics featuring the Winged Wheel and the Ekar GT logo in subtle tone-on-tone colors.
