-I see the big ring is slated for "eGravel" - is that a hint of what's to come? yuck.
-great that they kept the Chrous bcd so there will be some cross ring compatibility in the future. i bet the likes of worf-tooth, absolute black, etc will come out with eliptical rings for this bcd and be cross compatible to chorus.
-I LOVE that some campy accessories are coming back to market! I want some ekar bottle cages! Let's hope they expand this line and the stuff is great.
-boom. the most important part - they priced it correctly. at this price we will be seeing more campy on gravel bikes, i'm sure.

I'm not sure on the whole e-gravel thing. I think they are more saying you could use it on an e-bike. That it's beefy enough for it.
Agreed. It's excellent news they are keeping the BCD the same. I am not 100% sure it's not the same Chorus crank. I haven't seen solid works drawings or anything. But I would be surprised if it weren't the same.

How do you pronounce that - ee-car, eh-kar?
Any specs on that top tube bag?
dimensions, waterproof?
cable ports?
Those thumb levers are blowing my mind!

Pronounced EHK-ARE or EH-CAR.
No info on the bags yet. Haven't seen them in person. But I love that they have them! Sizes on the bike look good for most riders wants.
