Campagnolo Super Record 13: The Future Has 13 Gears (and You’re Going to Like It)
Lucky Number 13
Adding a 13th cog might sound like another marketing arms race, but Campagnolo’s real goal was to refine comfort and efficiency. Drawing from their experience with the Ekar gravel groupset (already 13-speed since 2020), they’ve narrowed the spacing between cogs by making them thinner. The result? Shifting so smooth, it feels like you’re gliding rather than changing gears. No more awkward cadence gaps—just perfect rhythm, whether you’re cruising or pushing like a pro.
A Setup for Every Rider
Campy doesn’t do things halfway. You get four cassette options:
- 10-29T (10/11/12 – 13-14-15-16-17-18 – 20/23/26/29)
- 10-33T (10/11/12 – 13-14-15-16-18-20 – 23/26/29/33)
- 11-32T (11/12/13 – 14-15-16-17-18 – 20/23/26/29/32)
- 11-36T (11/12/13 – 14-15-16-18-20 – 23/26/29/32/36)
As for chainrings, there are seven combinations available: 55/39, 54/39, 53/39, 52/36, 50/34, 45/29, and 48/32—something for everyone. Crank arms come in four lengths (165, 170, 172.5, and 175 mm), all carbon, all with a Q-factor of 148.5 mm—Campy’s way of saying they’ve got the details dialed in.
Featherweight Without the Fluff
Campagnolo knows every gram matters when you’re chasing speed. At just 2,445 grams for the complete groupset (disc brakes included), the new Super Record 13 is among the lightest wireless groups on the market—lighter even than Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 or SRAM Red eTap AXS. In fact, it’s billed as the lightest complete 2x disc road groupset available today.
The Return of the Thumb Shifter
A nod to the past with serious functional gains - the iconic Campagnolo thumb shifter is back. Love it or hate it, this little lever makes shifting more intuitive and easier to access, even mid-attack or when you're gasping for air. Plus, each shifter now includes a customizable Smart Button via the MyCampy app, letting you dial in your controls to suit your exact preferences.
Refined Derailleurs
Both the front and rear derailleurs have been totally redesigned. The rear is 25% slimmer than its 12-speed predecessor, offering better impact resistance and reduced friction thanks to 14-tooth pulleys with ceramic bearings. The front derailleur is more compact to allow wider tire clearance and features a revised battery placement for a cleaner, more versatile setup.
Fast-Charging, Long-Lasting Battery
Campagnolo promises 750 km of battery life under normal use. Better yet, it only takes an hour to fully charge using a magnetic USB cable—on or off the bike. Quick, simple, and efficient.
Brake Performance Still Top-Tier
If you were already a fan of Campy’s hydraulic brakes, you won’t be disappointed. The calipers now come with titanium bolts but remain very similar in design. A new sintered brake pad option is available for better performance in wet or cold conditions.
A Power Meter That Doesn’t Break the Bank
The HPPM power meter remains a solid option, using 16 sensors to continuously measure your pedaling force. The update? It’s now priced much more competitively, making Campagnolo’s performance tech accessible to more riders.
Pricing and Availability
Suggested retail price for the version without power meter starts at $4,750 USD. If you want the HPPM-equipped version, the starting price is $5,899 USD.
A Platform for the Future
Campagnolo isn’t just calling Super Record 13 an upgrade—they’re calling it a whole new platform. Translation: expect gravel, 1x road, and adventure-specific versions to follow in the coming months. Great news for those who like to keep their riding style varied.
