However, battery duration will generally be around 1500km on average. Taking into account that the EPSTM Power Unit has been lab tested and guaranteed to last for over 500 recharges, while maintaining strength and charge life, it is safe to say that the battery will last as long, if not longer, than your frame! Zero Setting / Ride Setting: The interface processes the data received during the initial setup of the front and rear derailleurs (Zero Setting) and also during smaller adjustments (Ride Setting). These smaller fine-tuning adjustments can be carried out while in the saddle as well.

TECHNOLOGIES Such an innovative component could not do without those technologies that for years have made the Campagnolo cranksets unique: the Ultra-TorqueTM axle will continue to guarantee maximum crankset assembly speed, while CULTTM and USBTM bearings will ensure unparalleled smoothness and attrition reduced to the max. The latest evolution in the mechanical drivetrain. The efforts made by the Campy Tech LabTM engineers, who for several seasons now have worked closely with the Campagnolo Pro-Teams® and the test teams, focused on innovative design and crank-chainring combination, with a view to creating a very stiff, aerodynamic crankset, To continually improve a product often it is opportune to go back to the drawing board. This is what the Campy Tech LabTM engineers did, obviously when used with Campagnolo® chainrings. first of all putting down on paper ambitious goals in terms of performance, design and quality, namely the ones they wanted a Campagnolo mechanical groupset to achieve. As usual, the engineers got their main suggestions by interviewing the pro team cyclists, the latter surprised that a project was underway to improve the mechanical drivetrain, considered a benchmark, and even more surprised when they tested the first prototypes. S T Compatibility of new mechanical Super RecordTM, RecordTM and ChorusTM drivetrains. SE P U The enhanced performance of the new groupsets is due to numerous engineering tweaks to the different components. Using components O R that do not belong to the new range can significantly reduce overall transmission performance, so it is better not to mix components of the G old product ranges with components from the new product ranges. > S E In order to help you to avoid mistakes, Campagnolo® has introduced distinctive marking (a squared letter as illustrated) on the components GI of the new Super RecordTM, RecordTM and ChorusTM groupsets to indicate their compatibility and guarantee the full functionality of the new O L generation of mechanical drivetrains. O N Full compatibility means obtaining the functionality and performance that every Campagnolo customer needs to find and enjoy. H C E So check that the letters of the shifting components match (rear T shifting components: right ErgopowerTM and rear derailleur; front shifting components: left ErgopowerTM, derailleur, cups and crankset). If the squared letter is missing from even just one of the components listed, the drivetrain may not work properly and its performance may be severely affected. In such cases Campagnolo® cannot therefore guarantee the drivetrain’s efficiency. 22 23 NEW 11-SPEED CRANKSETS NEW Cranks: Chainrings: The new right cranks, in carbon fiber, exploit Ultra-Hollow Structure (UHS) technology and feature a spider with a decidedly innovative shape. The new chainring design immediately transmits the increase in stiffness of this new solution and the success of the studies made into The 4 spokes responded to the need to stiffen the crankset in those zones where shifting occurs, while the connection between the spiders aerodynamics, reducing to a minimum the loss of power produced by the cyclist, making them excellent also for time trials. and the crank enables structurally the best possible transmission of the chain power. The internal part of the large chainrings features refined production processes that are yet another evolution in the Squadre Corsa 2014 Each arm has a double hook for the chainrings, in this way generating a double ring of 112 mm and 145 mm bolts, the same for all the chainrings, developed for the Campagnolo® team in order to guarantee the cyclists maximum shifting performance in the combinations combinations in the range. The 8-bolt fastening system, devised by the Campy Tech LabTM engineers, enables optimization of the flexible- 53/39, 52/36 and 50/34. Campagnolo® wants to guarantee maximum performance for every user, regardless of the specific choice and, to torsional stiffness of the complete crankset, with a 12% increase compared to the previous version. Despite this, weight is however achieve this, the number of pins involved in picking up the chain when shifting up on the large chainring is differentiated: 8 in the 53/39 kept down thanks to the use of an even greater amount of carbon fiber, which extends to the anchor point of the large chainring on the combination and 4 in the 52/36 and 50/34 combinations. spider. Maximum flatness among the chainrings, since the start a Campagnolo trademark, is guaranteed by the production process of this The left cranks, again in carbon fiber, have different internal structures, creating a difference in weight among the models in the range, but component, which, together with that of the new cranks, breathes new life into a unit where attention has been paid to all the smallest guaranteeing maximum stiffness for all the versions, which has always been the goal of Campagnolo. details, practically perfect.

This is the case with the 2014 range development from Campagnolo® by the name of Over-TorqueTM Technology. Campagnolo® found a solution that joins independant left and right crank axles inside the bottom bracket to the point where they act as one. Following the Campagnolo® philosophy of keeping the bearings at the widest stance possible with a large diameter axle the Over- As the two are coupled inside the bottom bracket the Ultra-Torque considerably reduces the lateral dimensions of the crankset, giving TorqueTM construction has an extremely wide stance for bearings in even more clearance for the athelete’s ankle during the pedal stroke. addition to a 30mm axle diameter.

The new solution was immediately applauded and embraced with enthusiasm thanks to the incredibly high level of performance found in these mid-range groupsets, as well as the ease of use and the high reliability. The axle is a single piece firmly fixed to the right crank of the crankset. The perfect coupling between bottom bracket and left crank is assured by the special geometry of the two components, a solution that guarantees maximum reliability. Overall lighter construction with increased rigidity Revolutionary closing system: To make the bottom bracket more efficient we also worked on the internal portion of the axle. Engineering an elaborate sequence of variable offers weight savings, easier installation and better performance. wall densities we were able to obtain an incredibly light axle with no compromises in terms of rigidity.

We did all of the hard work in the laboratory so that the work to mount the Power Torque SystemTM crankset is as easy as possible with only four simple steps. The right-hand bearing is already locked in the axle in correspondence with the crankset; the other is pre-inserted in the left-hand cup. No special tool is required, and the new crankset is ready to propel you over endless miles. One of the objectives of the Power Torque SystemTM project was prolonged operating resistance and both laboratory and real world tests show that this objective was reached.
