Interesting!
I wonder what they might change about it? Are there any leading complaints with current ekar that they might be addressing? |
Shamal in 23mm and Ekar wireless?
|
Could be wireless Ekar.
Alternatively a revamped hood with a thumb lever that drops 3 gears at a time. |
"Double dose" would seem to imply 2x, no?

Compatibility with xdr and/or microspline freehubs. A chain that's compatible with 12 speed chainrings. |

I'll throw out this wild thought (which has a 90+% chance of being wrong): Campagnolo is introducing a lower price point gravel group, with levers using the PowerShift mechanism, in order to better compete with Shimano/SRAM in the gravel bike space. I've heard that Ekar is something like 40% of Campagnolo's sales, so with 4 different road groups (8, if you count rim and disc groups separately), it makes sense to have more than one gravel group. |

Guess we'll have to wait to find out! |

But they are obviously being coy with what images they are showing, obviously to keep us guessing - which appears to be working, because here were are guessing. |
If that just came online, how come some guy named Angry scientist has already commented on the picture? Must be old news. :banana:

The hoods look different from my Ekar, possibly WRL? And they show wheels towards the end. Hoping that Old Potato will be able to convert old Ekar to WRL! |
my guess would be "double dose" means two levels of Ekar... whether that be one mechanical and one wireless or two mechanical.
My money is on a lower priced 1x Ekar groupset.... although Ekar is already quite affordable. I think what people likely want is wireless. |
Im guessing a 2x front crank.
I am hoping for a electric but still think for that big of a change they would drag the marketing campaign out for weeks with a few strategic leaks Ryun |
Keep in mind, if Campag introduces a 2x crank, they're more or less designing/producing a very new groupset.
They would need a new LH Shifter. They would need a FD. They would need a totally new RD. They would need a new crank. 2x13... That would be something. I would love a Ekar 2x Rear Derailleur. |
