Extra, as in 150g extra, extra gearing choices, and extra money left in your pockets on the finish of the day.

Frankly, I’m not completely positive why this isn’t simply known as a Campy Report Wi-fi groupset, as that’s clearly what it seems to be like. Perhaps it’s merely nonetheless too costly to not have Tremendous written throughout it?

Anyway, there’s loads of excellent news for Campagnolo fanatics right here, to not fear about semantics.

However now that add three bigger combos for riders on the lookout for increased top-end pace – new 52/36T, 53/39T & 54/39T. These are some huge gear ratios when paired with the smaller cassette, and certain solely one thing elite racers and professionals would want. However then once more, a whole lot of Campy followers are traditionalists, and maybe they simply wished a extra classic-looking chainset?

On the similar time going quicker up entrance, the brand new Campy Tremendous Report S will get simpler within the again. The smallest, tightest Tremendous Report cassette doesn’t make it to Tremendous Report S. As an alternative, a brand new simpler 11-32T 12-speed cassette choice will get added to the 10-27T & 10-29T cassettes. That gives solely incrementally wider vary, however does imply noticeably simpler gear ratios with the sub-compact crank.
