Campagnolo Ekar Carbon Crankset 1x13-speed
Born on Mt. Ekar - The Campagnolo 1x13-speed Gravel drivetrain
Just as Campagnolos ground-breaking first quick release lever can trace its origins to the Passo Croce DAune 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 crankset
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.
