SUPER RECORD X CONFIGURATION

“The Super Record X, Campagnolo’s first wireless 1x groupset, specifically designed for performance-focused gravel riding. And it is not simply a derivative version of the road version, even though it shares some components and the same basic technological architecture as the Super Record platform, which is unique. The “X” version introduces exclusive design solutions, optimized to best meet the typical demands of mixed terrain and the most challenging conditions.”

Crankset: Single Chainring, Eight Options

“The new Campagnolo Super Record X 1x crankset is the result of an engineering study aimed at combining structural rigidity, mechanical efficiency, light weight, and functional aerodynamics. All of which manufactured in Europe and featuring Campagnolo’s traditional and distinctive style, i.e. exposed carbon fiber cranksets and dedicated branding with the “Super Record X” logo on the outside and an “X” on the inside.”

“The single chainring features eight sets of teeth made of aeronautical-grade aluminum alloy: 38/40/42/44/46/48/50/52, in a range sufficient to cover every route requirement. The teeth feature a new profile developed from Ekar’s experience, specifically designed to ensure optimal chain engagement, uniform traction even in dead spots, and chain stability on the roughest terrain. The cranks are also customizable, available in lengths of 165, 170, 172.5, and 175 mm.”

“The crankset uses the proven Ultra-Torque steel axle, revised here in its length (Q-factor: 152 mm for a 47.5 mm chain line) to facilitate compatibility with gravel bike frames that require generous tire clearance. The package is completed by the new QCK-Tech bottom bracket and Campagnolo low-friction bearings sealed with an additional patented external seal to protect against external contaminants (mud, dust), for maximum mechanical efficiency and durability over time.”

“Cranksets are also available with an integrated power meter, here redesigned for use with a single chainring: the Super Record X PowerMeter uses the HPPM (High Precision Power Measurement) system, which operates with sixteen sensors that cross-reference power in N/m – detected with multiple sequential readings – with the angular velocity of the integrated gyroscope in real time. Data are reliably and precisely available in real time. Its location directly on the axle also avoids any interference from the cranks, favoring a pure torque measurement.”

Cassette: Constant Progression up to 48 Teeth

“The cassette is derived directly from the Super Record 2×13 cassette, which meets proven mechanical characteristics: an elegant and distinctive black chrome finish and a scale recalibrated for use with a single chainring for uniform shifting progression without excessive jumps, ensuring a regular, agile cadence even in the most challenging conditions.”

10-48T Cassette

Two cassettes in the catalog, one starting with a 9-tooth sprocket and the other with a 10-tooth sprocket:

  • 9-42 (9-10-11-12-13-14-16-18-21-25-30-36-42)
  • 10-48 (10-11-12-13-14-16-18-21-25-30-36-42-48)
  • It is worth noting that, thanks to full interchangeability of components across the entire platform, the two SR13 X cassettes also adopt the N3W body, without the need for adapters or specific hubs.

X Rear Derailleur: Entirely Dedicated to Gravel Riding

“This rear derailleur is the most obvious example of the gravel-oriented approach of the Super Record. Developed from the technological foundation of the Road version, the Super Record X rear derailleur features a number of new technical solutions specifically designed for gravel riding.”

X Rear Derailleur

“First and foremost, it features the new Nano Clutch, a miniaturized clutch designed to maintain proper chain tension on rough trails and bumpy descents and prevent the chain from falling off the front chainring. Furthermore, the entire design has been recalibrated for off-road cycling. To prevent impacts and vibrations, the assembly area has been reinforced and the carbon cage has been extended to 92.5 mm to operate with cassettes of up to 48 teeth.”

X Rear Derailleur

“Despite its size and weight, very similar to the purely road version, this rear derailleur features class-leading impact resistance and flexural rigidity of the cage. The derailleur’s efficiency is also ensured by the two pulleys with different diameters and positions: the upper, 12-tooth guide pulley operates eccentrically, on a rotation axis set back from the cage so as to maintain the correct distance even on large teeth. The lower tension pulley is a 16-tooth oversized version to facilitate smooth chain movement at the system’s entry point. Both pulleys have differentiated tooth profiles, designed to accommodate each individual chain link for perfect glide. This shows Campagnolo’s typical attention to even the smallest detail. The result is smooth, fast, precise, and silent shifting, even in the most extreme conditions.”

X Rear Derailleur

“The Super Record X rear derailleur is designed with a universal mount, compatible with any frame, both with the UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) system and with traditional hangers. The removable battery ensures a range of up to 750 km and is easy to charge thanks to the quick-snap magnetic ports and Campagnolo charging cable.”

“The aesthetics also reflect the Campagnolo identity: carbon with a direct mold finish for the inner cage and front end, laser-engraved and anodized aluminum for an elegant look even for a technical component. Within the platform, the X Rear Derailleur can also be paired with the 1x road crankset, thus for configurations with a 45.8 mm road chain line, creating a single-chainring road bike with the widest range of gear ratios on the market.”

Controls: The Precision of Essentiality

“The new Super Record X groupset is lighter, not just because it lacks a second chainring and front derailleur. With a view to optimizing overall weight (and costs), Campagnolo has introduced a left-hand Ergopower lever also available without electronics: a traditional and essential brake lever (therefore lighter and cheaper) that still preserves the ergonomic grip of electronic version. The right-hand controls are unchanged, with the distinctive inside “Thumb Shifter” and various Modes and the Smart Button for managing the entire groupset with simplicity and precision.”

My Campy App: Manage Your Campagnolo Bikes

“The Campagnolo app allows you to connect to the groupset via Bluetooth and always have maximum control of your bike, directly from your smartphone. You can customize the Ergopower controls, assigning different functions to buttons and levers depending on your pedaling style, and you can keep your components up to date with firmware upgrades that guarantee top-notch performance and reliability.”

“Plus, thanks to the new digital garage, you can create and manage multiple bike profiles, monitor every configuration, and customize each build to suit your needs. All in a single simple, intuitive, app designed to offer cyclists the best possible riding experience.”

NEW BORA X WHEELS

“The Campagnolo philosophy dictates that each groupset is matched with a wheel, as only the synergy between components from the same family ensures the best performance. Hence the development of the new Bora X wheel, developed from the same observation that led to launching the Super Record X groupset: gravel racing is increasingly aligning with the competitive dynamics of road racing and requires speed, aerodynamics, and control.”

“Therefore, the new Bora X brings the same racing characteristics as the prestigious road version to off-road cycling. Designed in the wind tunnel and tested on rough terrain, this wheel is built for speed, control, and vibration absorption in a variety of conditions. The Bora X has been designed with a 50 mm profile and a 27 mm hooked rim, compatible with tires starting from 35 mm. The unidirectional fiber layup, depending on workload, is an adaptation of the road version, while the spoke pattern – despite inheriting the same G3 lacing geometry, an iconic Campagnolo feature – has been modified to meet the typical demands of fast gravel riding.”

“The seven three-spoke sets use two different types of spokes per side: aerodynamic spokes on the cassette side of the rear wheel and on the brake disc side of the front wheel, to improve the aerodynamic penetration of a moving body and minimize frame turbulence; on the opposite sides, however, elliptical spokes, which are lighter and ideal for absorbing vibrations from the terrain and balancing the rigidity of the entire wheel.”
