CAMPAGNOLO Groupset 1x13 GRAVEL Super Record 13 X
In 1973 Campagnolo introduced the first Super Record groupset - a consistent further development of the Record groupset that set new standards in terms of performance, lightweight construction and exclusivity. More than 50 years later, Campagnolo is continuing this tradition with the Super Record 13 platform and opening up new terrain in the process: as the first electronic Campagnolo groupset for gravel routes at maximum speed, it combines robustness, precision and iconic design into a system that proves its performance not only on asphalt. Campagnolo Super Record 13 X is made for fast adventures on challenging trails and at the same time a further step in redefining the brand identity - developed with the aim of setting a benchmark in the high-end segment even off perfect roads.
Crank
A technical masterpiece with an unmistakable design language: the crank of the Super Record 13 X groupset attracts everyone's attention. This is thanks to the successful combination of matt aluminum aero chainring and carbon crankarms with their iconic, shiny finish. The deliberately visible carbon structure underlines the majestic elegance of the Italian set. Six chainring sizes from 38 to 48 teeth, combined with two cassette options, provide you with exactly the gear range you need for your personal gravel mission. Born from the experience of the Ekar group, the tooth profile has been redesigned to optimize chain engagement, smooth out the drivetrain and prevent chain jumps even on bumpy trails. A new surface treatment also noticeably increases the wear resistance of the mono chainrings. Campagnolo remains true to its Ultra-Torque technology in the crankshaft system: two titanium half-shafts, firmly connected to the crankarms, mesh via Hirth splines and are securely fixed in place by a central oversize bolt. Adapted to the geometry of modern gravel frames, the ultra-torque crankshaft has been lengthened and optimized to a chainline of 47.5 mm and a Q-factor of 152 mm. Smooth running is ensured by ceramic bearings pressed onto the shaft, which together with the QCK-Tech bearing shells provide excellent protection against water and dirt. The wide range of QCK-Tech cups and bottom brackets ensures compatibility with all current bottom bracket standards.
Cassette
Full power on loose surfaces without losing momentum: The Super Record 13 X cassette was designed for maximum speed. For those who start where the road ends. With 13 gear steps and minimal gaps between the gears, it always keeps the cadence in the optimum range so that every pedal stroke fits and efficiency remains high even on climbs. There are two gear ratios to choose from for your personal gravel mission: 9-42 teeth for race-ready acceleration and hard punch climbs or 10-48 teeth for maximum range and attacks in difficult terrain.
Born from the experience of the Ekar group, the tooth profile has been rethought and perfected with a durable black chrome finish. The result is extremely quiet and lightning-fast shifting, even under full load. The use of special steel and processing with minimal tolerances ensure controlled power transmission and exceptional durability of the sprocket set. The cassette is parked on Campagnolo's modern N3W freehub standard, which despite its compact design provides sufficient space for all 13 gear steps and even allows a 9-tooth starter sprocket without special hub solutions.
Chain
The Super Record 13 X chain is a central component in the precisely tuned drivetrain system and was developed to ensure maximum efficiency and shifting precision. Behind the seemingly technical simplicity lies a sophisticated design that harmonizes perfectly with the new standards of the groupset. Even under heavy loads, the chain impresses with reliable performance, as our experience with the Ekar C13 has already impressively demonstrated. With a width of just 4.9 mm, achieved through narrower link spacing and flat, perforated pins, the chain enables fast, smooth and quiet shifting while taking up little space. The use of solid pins specifically reinforces the construction to ensure high reliability and performance even under rough gravel conditions. The C-Link locking system makes it easier to open and close the chain, which significantly simplifies maintenance and care without compromising on durability or longevity. Wrapped in a deep shine, the black chrome finish not only gives the C13 an elegant, high-quality look, but also increases wear resistance and reduces noise when riding. The newly engraved logo fits seamlessly into the visual line of the Super Record 13-X groupset and underlines the design consistency and attention to detail.
Rear derailleur
A rear derailleur that remains precise even when the road stops: With the rear derailleur of the Super Record 13 platform, which has been completely developed for off-road performance, shifting on gravel roads becomes a decisive advantage - faster, more precise and quieter than any other gravel groupset. The new, compact architecture improves the aerodynamics of the rear derailleur and optimally aligns the system with the cassette sprockets so that every gear change is direct, fluid and efficient, regardless of the surface, speed or incline. At the heart of the further development is the Nano Clutch, an elegantly integrated clutch that guides the chain firmly and stably with every pedal rotation. This minimizes chain slap and prevents chain jumps even on rough trails. Despite its unusually aggressive appearance for Campagnolo, the carbon and aluminum rear derailleur blends in surprisingly harmoniously with the otherwise majestically elegant design language of the entire group. Thanks to the long rear derailleur cage and pulleys specifically designed for the 1x13 setup with 12 teeth at the top and 16 teeth at the bottom, the rear derailleur offers full compatibility with the gravel cassettes with 9-42 and 10-48 tooth ratios. A position sensor ensures that the rear derailleur automatically aligns itself to the optimum position for the selected sprocket with every gear change. The removable battery unit supplies the completely wireless system with energy for up to 750 kilometers. Should the power run out unintentionally along the way, the rear derailleur can be moved manually to the desired position to continue the ride comfortably to the destination. The battery is charged either directly on the bike or on the go at any power source using a USB cable with a magnetically attached charging connection. The charge status can be checked at any time via the mode button on the rear derailleur or via the MyCampy app 3.0.
Shift/brake lever
In order to be able to control all 13 gears precisely from almost any grip position, Campagnolo is bringing back an iconic shifting element in the latest generation of the Ergopower shift/brake lever that evokes nostalgic emotions and makes the hearts of long-time fans of the traditional Italian brand beat faster - the thumb shifter. In addition to the new thumb shifter and the tried-and-tested operating element on the lever, the electronic control center impresses with an intelligently positioned button on the inside of the hoods, which can be freely assigned with individual functions. Before the next climb, simply change the data field page on your favorite speedometer or select a motivating song from the playlist on your smartphone - all without taking your hands off the handlebars. The MyCampy 3.0 app is used to program the desired options and the entire shifting logic for a setup that is perfectly tailored to the rider. Thanks to these technical innovations, Campagnolo manages the balancing act between tradition and modernity, guaranteeing maximum control. Anyone who covers long distances in the saddle quickly realizes how important an ergonomic contact point on the cockpit is to prevent discomfort in the hands and wrists. For this reason, Campagnolo has completely redesigned the Ergopower to meet the demands of modern cyclists in terms of comfort, function and handling. To this end, the hydraulic line has been extensively repositioned to create a large, flat contact surface that guarantees a comfortable and stable grip even over long distances. Special attention was also paid to the new design of the brake lever, which is made entirely of carbon and is shaped in such a way that the space under the hand rest is not compromised. Thanks to the optimized pivot point, the lever achieves a powerful, precise braking effect and is noticeably easier and more effective to operate from the hoods. The brake lever is specially designed for road and gravel setups with a mono chainring and consistently dispenses with anything superfluous. Compared to the Ergopower with shifting electronics, the lever body has been significantly slimmed down, which is also noticeable on the scales.
Brakes
The disc brakes of the Super Record 13 X also confirm Campagnolo's reputation as a manufacturer of particularly powerful braking systems. The brake caliper is made of forged aluminum and combines maximum stability with low weight. Titanium mounting bolts are used to further reduce weight. The pre-assembled brake hose is already filled with Campagnolo mineral oil and bled. This means that the brake calliper can be fitted directly and used immediately. Organic brake pads are included in the scope of delivery. They impress with their balanced braking performance with precise modulation, constant response and particularly quiet operation. Thanks to sound-absorbing carriers, vibrations are effectively reduced even on long descents.
Note: The set is supplied without mounting bolts.
Brake disk
A riveted, two-piece construction and angled ventilation cut-outs ensure excellent heat management and unlimited braking power even under critical conditions. The Campagnolo rotors are made of durable stainless steel and have rounded edges, which minimizes the risk of injury and makes threading them into the brake caliper a breeze.
Note: The Center-Lock version is supplied without lockrings, while the 6-hole version includes titanium mounting bolts.
