Campagnolo has launched an all-new 13-speed gravel-specific mechanical groupset called Ekar (pronounced ECK-ar).

With 1× gearing only and cassettes that start with a tiny 9-tooth cog, Ekar aims to match the range of 2× drivetrains “without compromise”.

It’s aimed squarely at Shimano’s GRX range and SRAM’s Force 1 and Force eTap AXS drivetrains.
Campagnolo claims Ekar is the lightest gravel groupset on the market at 2,385g complete.

It’s priced below the brand’s Chorus 12-speed road groupset, but well above the entry-level 11-speed Centaur, with a full groupset (including bottom bracket and brake rotors) to retail at £1,449 / $1,764 / €1,696.

Ekar is named for the Cima Ekar, a mountain “gravel heaven” not far from Campagnolo’s Italian headquarters.
