Campagnolo Ekar GT delivers next-gen 13-speed gravel bike groupset that’s 15% cheaper with 480% gearing, yet only 13% heavier in alloy…
Campagnolo is back with a next-gen Ekar GT gravel bike groupset, bringing their popular 13-speed made-in-Europe drivetrain down in price thanks to a swap to more aluminum in place of carbon. At the same time as cutting costs, it gets several upgrades and tweaks for better chain retention and wider gearing range options.
Now Campy is back with a new Ekar GT that is even more accessible. Swapping in an aluminum crankset, alloy brake levers, and a simplified rear derailleur, they manage to drop more than two hundred euros off the price, while only adding 300g. It’s still competitively as light or lighter than Shimano or SRAM’s second-tier groups, while being cheaper, and EU-made.The most obvious change is the new simple forged alloy crankset – now with 151mm Q-factor.
The brake levers also shift to alloy lever blades to lower costs. But they retain the same proven Campagnolo Ekar ergonomics, including the thumb upshift lever and reach adjustability. The rubber hoods are slightly reshaped however for better grip when riding up top. The new Ekar GT also gets revised cassettes. They now get a few more loose cogs to save costs with more shared parts. But they also add a new wider 480% range 10-48T cassette. In addition to the original Endurance 9-36T , Gravel Race 9-42T & Gravel Adventure 10-44T .In addition to the new GT gravel group, there’s a matching set of more affordable GT gravel wheels too.
