The bags and kit look nice too.

I really don't recall Campy ever, in my 40 years of riding Campy, being this organized and coordinated for a new product rollout. I'm really stunned and happy for them. I suspect it will sell well.

The partners page is impressive too. Getting in with the big American brands will bump their brand up significantly. The win in the Tour didn't hurt either.

I agree! I think they did an excellent job with it. It helps having extra time of course... thanks COVID! But even the clothing looks great. The team who worked on this should be proud. Brilliant job.

I'm with you - longtime Campy user and this has to about the best introduction of a new gruppo that they've ever done.
And unlike the past, they realize they'll need strong partnerships to make this happen.

Looks like Campy has turned over a new leaf, or management has finally figured out how to be more competitive going forward.

Regardless, hat's off to them and hell, I don't even ride a gravel grinder but am impressed with this announcement.
