Campagnolo never ceases to evolve and the range of drivetrains has taken on a new sophisticated element: The 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 demonstrate 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 12th 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 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 range of the mechanical drive system is extended by the Record Disc Brake components. The hydraulic disc brake system offers power and braking modulability without sacrificing ease of wheel maintenance and shifting.
Campagnolo Record front derailleur
The Campy Tech Lab designers focused on functionality, performance and compatibility when redesigning the Campagnolo Record 2x12-speed front derailleur which reveals various technical innovations. Starting with the leverage system, which is designed to speed up shifting. Less effort is required for shifting thanks to the split front link rod which avoids contact with the travel limit screw and the shape of the inner cage plate, designed to match the 12 speed chain's characteristics.
The micro-adjustments to the front derailleur position (which can be activated by the controls) make it possible to avoid any chain contact, even in cases of maximum crossing. The plate positioned on the aluminium outer cage prevents the chain from escaping when upshifting and increases speed in the downshift phase, as well as creating a quieter transmission.
As far as compatibility is concerned, the Record front derailleur allows up to 32 mm wide tires thanks to the upper connecting rod and the double fixing of the cablex.
