EKAR is pretty important to Campagnolo and GRX 12SP seems like it will probably drop shortly, I can see Campy dropping 13SP WRL right after Shimano drops 12SP GRX. That extra gear is meaningful on 1X.

I sure wish they would do a 2X cheaper WRL group as well, but I have not heard anything on that.
Even if there IS an electronic EKAR, it won't 'replace' mechanical EKAR any more than SR WRL 'replaced' SR mechanical.

I 'suspect' SR WRL will filter down to Record WRL...With small differences in materials for the ders..The calipers/rotors are similar across the groups already.
