Campagnolo Ekar Chain 13-speed - 118 Links - Classic Pin

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 C13 chain

A drivetrain - in fact a bike - is nothing without a chain to make it all work. And in the ground-up design of the gravel-specific 1x13-speed Ekar drivetrain, Campagnolo kept that fundamental component front and center of their focus. But Campagnolo did not just want the chain to work, they knew it had to be a vital element in operating effectively and reliably in the toughest environments Gravel riding can throw at you.

The Nickel-Teflon treated C13 chain is designed specifically to work efficiently and securely with the narrow-wide 13-sprocket system. Despite being the narrowest chain Campagnolo ever made, it is also strong, light, durable and amazingly efficient.
