CAMPAGNOLO CHALLENGES TIME WITH THE TRIATHLON/TIME TRIAL PROJECT

Less than a year after the launch of mechanical components for Triathlon and Time Trial disciplines

and just six months after the launch of its EPS drivetrains, Campagnolo® presents a range of new

components for timed cycling competitions.

The number of Triathlon and Time Trial enthusiasts grows daily, and Campagnolo® - the world

leader in technological innovation - has developed a comprehensive range of specialized products

to cater to their every need.

Since the presentation of the EPS in Sicily, the demand for bar-end EPS controls and EPS brake

controls has grown steadily stronger.

Campagnolo® has responded to this market demand as a true leader, drastically cutting

development times to launch these two innovative products today - just six months since the

arrival of the Super Record™ 11s and Record™ 11s electronic systems.

This has been a project that has challenged the resources of the Campagnolo® R&D division, and

was only possible through continuous collaboration with the world's top triathletes and time trial

specialists. The results of this work are outstanding: the bar-end controls and brake controls offer

our athletes the best performance they could possibly ask for in terms of aerodynamics,

ergonomics, speed and precision, and are also extremely easy to use.

But this project did not stop at creating new controls for Campagnolo's EPS electronic drivetrains.

The new Bora Ultra™ and Bullet Ultra™ streamlined cranksets complete the range of products

dedicated to time trials and triathlons. These are more than just aerodynamic cranksets, but

perfect machines optimized in every single detail, as even a hundredth of a second can be crucial

in these disciplines.

Through advanced simulation software, wind tunnel testing, exclusive technologies - such as the

manufacturing process for unidirectional carbon fiber, CULT™ and USB™ technologies - and the

use of titanium, the Campagnolo® Research and Development division has once again created a

project that sets a bold new benchmark for enthusiasts of the Ironman race and for the many

different classes of Triathlon and Time Trial events.

BAR-END EPS CONTROLS

Back to zero position: Lever automatically returns to zero position

Multi-shifting System: the ability to shift up or down

uninterruptedly by up to 11 sprockets

Multi-Dome Tech™: Provides a tactile click feeling and minimizes

shifting mistakes.

This exclusive technology (with 5 aluminum dome-shaped layers

stacked on top of one another) developed by Campy Tech Lab™ in

collaboration with Campagnolo athletes strikes the perfect

balance between operating force and tactile shift feedback. It also

minimizes the possibility of unintentionally shifting the rear or

front derailleur.

Switch Mode button: the “mode” buttons allow the user to check battery charge, make fine adjustments to

the rear or front derailleur - even while riding (with the “ride setting” procedure), and set the zero position

of the rear and front derailleur (“zero setting” procedure)

100% waterproof: all control components are built to operate in any weather conditions in compliance

with the IP67 standard.

EPS BRAKE LEVER SHIFT CONTROLS

Aerodynamic shape: for lowest coefficient of drag.

Ergonomic lever profile: maximum safety and adjustable braking

system

Quick release system: Eases installation and removal of the wheels

and allows to open the distance between rim and brake pads

Separation of shift buttons: minimizes the risk of shifting mistakes

keeping with Campagnolo’s philosophy of “One lever-One action”

BAR-END EPS™ INTERFACE

• RGB led glows in different colors to communicate system

status to the user

• Manages the setting procedures

• Receives impulses from the controls and translate them into

digital signals that are transferred to the DTI™ Power Unit

• Maintains a dialogue with the DTI™ Power Unit and thereby

processes the information

Dual cable wiring: for simultaneous functionality controls of EPS™ Bar-end shifters and EPS™ Brake lever

shift controls.

BULLET ULTRA™ CRANKSET

Streamlined cranks in unidirectional carbon fiber:

makes for a light and stiff crankset that maximizes

power transfer to the road with unparalleled

aerodynamics.

Full carbon fiber spider: the unique shape of the

chainring mount is specifically designed for maximum

aerodynamic efficiency while also increasing the overall

stiffness of the crankset.

XPSS™: Exclusive design of the eight up-shift zones and

two down-shift zones of the chainring. The specific

profile of the teeth and the zones dedicated to upward

and downward chain movement enables fast and

precise shifting in all conditions

Power-Torque bottom bracket: System with single axle designed to maximize stiffness and power transfer.

USB™ Technology: USB™ ceramic ball bearings reduce friction, guaranteeing maximum smoothness and

resistance to corrosion and wear; they maintain consistent performance over time.

Chainrings available: 34/50 – 36/52 – 39/53

Lengths available: 170 – 172.5 – 175

Weight: 29 gr.

Weight: 815 gr.

BORA ULTRA™ CRANKSET

XPSS™: Exclusive design of the eight up-shift zones

and two down-shift zones of the chainring. The

specific profile of the teeth and the zones dedicated to

upward and downward chain movement enables fast

and precise shifting in all conditions

Titanium axle and titanium screws with left-handed

thread: reduce the overall weight of the crankset by

40 grams.

Ultra-Hollow Technology™ hollow cranks and spider:

reduces weight – increases stiffness and maximizes

weight to stiffness ratio

Ultra-Torque™ bottom bracket: power to the pedals is

transferred efficiently without any power loss.

CULT™ Technology: The combination of the best ceramic ball bearings available on the market and special

Cronitect™ steel. The bearings are lubricated with only a light oil, increasing the smoothness of the crank

nine-times. Resistant to corrosion for improved longevity.

Chainrings available: 39/53 – 42/54 – 42/55

Lengths available: 170 – 172.5 – 175

Weight: 795 gr.
