Campagnolo introduces Ultra upgrades for Super Record 13
Today, Campagnolo launched a small handful of premium component upgrades under the Ultra branding. Designed to add a little extra to its newest Super Record 13 groupset, these parts are for those who would otherwise seek aftermarket upgrades.
First up is the combined carbon fibre and aluminium big rings (50 and 52T sizes only), designed to increase stiffness while saving 28-34 grams. At €330 a piece, they offer a more premium and arguably integrated aesthetic than the stock aluminium ring.
There’s also a new Ultra cassette that has the largest four cogs on the 10-33T size, or largest five cogs on the 11-36T size, machined from a single block of titanium. The 10-33T size is claimed to weigh 215 g, saving 30 g from the regular Super Record option. Meanwhile, the 11-36T cassette is claimed to be 238 g, a 44 g saving over the regular model. Expect to pay €620 for one of these Ultra cassettes.
Finally, there is a USB ceramic bearing upgrade for Ultra Torque cranks (€164). Historically, these bearings were supplied with Super Record cranks, but that changed in this latest generation, with Campagnolo looking to better align its features and prices to the competition.
