(above) The Record groupset. The most technologically advanced groupset for racing bicycles. Campagnolo introduces the new Ultra-Torque™ crankset with integrated bottom bracket. Advantages: Lightness, rigidity, ergonomical and easy to maintain. Left-hand Ergopower™ controls will all be of the Quick Shift™ type with the 2008 range; this makes shifting possible with an actuating force which has been reduced even further. The new Skeleton™ brakes feature a highly evolved design. It is worth noting that this design springs from an advanced structural analysis in which form follows function. The new hubs have been substantially redesigned to exalt the qualities which made the previous ones famous and appreciated all over the world. The oversize body design is more marked. |

(above) The Chorus groupset. The Chorus groupset makes great use of composite materials technology. Composite materials provide a better weight/resistance ratio than aluminum and titanium. That means that a product in composite material weighs less but provides the same level of resistance, which is no small advantage. The already high performance provided by the Chorus group is further improved. Crankset, rear derailleur, Ergopower and seatpost now share with the Record groupset the technology of composite materials. The result: a groupset for competition that fears no comparisons, except with the Record groupset. Other new features concern the crankset, the front derailleur and a new bottle-holder kit that have been added to enhance the components. |

(left) Campagnolo Bora G3 tubular wheelset. Bora™ Ultra™ wheels are the wheels designed for speed par excellence. Perfect aerodynamics and maximum power transmission combined with extraordinary lightness make them the benchmark wheels for leading racing professionals. The 50-mm rims are made from structural carbon which imparts great lightness and stiffness. The hubs are made from structural carbon of variable thickness, have spherical surfaces, feature Record™-class components with aluminium axle and a single body for freewheel and pawl carrier. The rear hub features an oversize aluminium flange on the right side which enhances the features of the G3™ spoking. Radial spoking and G3™ spoking are used on the front and rear wheels respectively. Nominal weight is just 1,305 gram Bora™ Ultra™ wheels are fitted with new quick releases with levers in cold-forged aluminium with two pivots for more balanced clamping. |

(left) Campagnolo Eurus G3 tubular or clincher wheelset. Eurus™ 2006 wheels have been completely restyled and are really light, weighing just 1,490 grams. Campagnolo® this year introduces the concept of a differential profile for the Eurus™ model, i.e. a 24-mm profile for the front rim and a 28-mm profile for the rear rim. This solution in fact gives a light and very steerable front wheel and a stiff and responsive rear wheel. The rims have been lightened in toroidal form between the spoke insertion zones, i.e. in the section of the rim where diameters can be reduced without lessening the solidity of the structure. The dynamic balance of the wheel is assured by special milling in the section opposite the joint. This balances the weight of the joint during rotation of the wheel. Both rims have an upper bridge that is free of holes. This is a significant weight saving, thanks to the lack of rim tape, and gives the wheel greater torsional stiffness and greater vertical elasticity. The Ultra Aero™ aluminium spokes are butted and the front wheel has radial spoking whereas the back wheel has G3™ spoking. The rear rim has asymmetrical holes to obtain a better wheel dish. The hubs are in oversize aluminium with aluminium axles and self-aligning bearings. The rear hub has a larger flange to increase torsional stiffness and therefore wheel performance during acceleration and bursts of speed on the pedals. Eurus™ wheels use the new freewheel body and pawl carrier housed in a single aluminium part for maximum lightness. The new Campagnolo® quick releases and the lever in cold-forged aluminium with two pivots for more balanced clamping make their first appearance on Eurus™ wheels. Eurus™ wheels are available in Black and Silver versions.
