Campa Ekar disc brake
The left brake lever with flat-mount caliper from the Campagnolo Ekar series. Thanks to the 200 mm cable, the caliper can be fitted at both the front and rear. Suitable adapters are available separately.
Lightweight and reliable, the Ekar gravel groupset from Campagnolo. Named after Mount Ekar, Campagnolo’s Ekar 13-speed groupset is no conventional groupset. With a wide range of gravel-specific combinations and no compromises, Ekar is designed from the ground up to deliver optimal performance, the best riding experience and maximum reliability for your gravel, all-road and endurance routes on the toughest terrain you face and where you want to challenge yourself. From the outset, our engineers and design team tested and pursued the idea of a 1x system, considering it the most suitable for gravel, whilst taking on the challenge of creating the lightest, most efficient and most precise drivetrain for this type of use: the Ekar groupset.
Campa Disc Brake Levers Ekar
The Ekar brake levers and shift-brake levers have been adapted for specific gravel use. In doing so, the advantages of the Campagnolo brake-shift lever system have been retained: the renowned precision and the maximum comfort offered by the Vari-Cushion™ rubber grips. With the levers featuring differentiated action, you can’t make a mistake when shifting, and Campagnolo’s proven One-Lever-One-Action philosophy guarantees perfect control even in challenging off-road conditions.
The thumb button has been redesigned to be larger and C-shaped, making it easy to reach with the right thumb whilst riding with your hands in a high position on the handlebars: this is the hand position most commonly used by gravel riders. The Ekar Ergopower levers allow you to adjust the brake lever spacing to suit the size of your hand and fingers and to meet the demands of your riding style. To further improve control on gravel routes, the aluminium brake lever and rubber grips are laser-cut and feature an additional texture to increase grip – regardless of riding conditions. The laser pattern is also resistant to wear caused by sweat, dirt and cleaning agents: a gravel-proof solution. The internal Ultra-Shift™ mechanism controls the 13-speed rear derailleur and allows you to shift up to 3 sprockets with a single movement. The reliability of individual downshift operations is ideal for gravel routes with slippery, undulating and unpredictable surfaces.
