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.
The 1-speed crankset is a crucial element in Campagnolo's Gravel-specific Ekar drivetrain design. Lightweight, secure and simple up front, with no wasted overlapping gears or unnecessary moving parts to collect trail dirt – one chainring and no front mechanism is the way to go, whatever your off-road ambitions are.
But behind that apparent simplicity is a design to die for. Like the whole Ekar system, the crank combines strength and lightweight materials. The 2-piece crankset features a strong, durable 630-grade steel alloy axle mated to a polyamide-carbon spider and beautiful UD Carbon arms. The innovative ProTech technology joins the two semi-axles inside the bottom bracket while oversized stainless steel bearings sit outside the shell, for smoothness, strength and easy access.*
Four ring options - 38, 40, 42 and 44 teeth - ensure in combination with the cassette's different versions a gear range which is perfect for every rider and every ride.
* ProTech bottom bracket cups are sold separately.
