Once full groups are readily available, the price should come down to be more like a Chorus 12 disc brake group - $1500. Campy disc groups cost a lot more than rim. Chorus 12 rim is only $1060. |

Looks pretty awesome, well make not that logo on the cranks.. Can this work with rim brakes? I'd put this on my Zank cx frame if so.

No. It won't work with rim brakes. Disc only kit.

Boooo... So why make this group 13 but the road groups 12? why not make them all 13?

One question I have is it looks like this group is mechanical only. Will there be an EPS version? It is comparing itself to Sram Force and Red AXS, which are both e-shifting. so people may be willing to pay more for e-shifting.
Good Luck! |

That Bixxis looks great.
I've been running H11 on my gravel bike (the Rodeo TrailDonkey I got here from RobJ), 2x11 with Praxis 46/32 crank, and it has been great. But I have dropped the chain a couple times while riding rough singletrack. When its more widely available I think I'll switch to Ekar. |

hmm.... with the flat mount only calipers ive got to figure out if I can run a flatmount caliper on my ISO frame.
Any idea of whether the RD will shift an 11 speed cassette properly? I really would just like the clutch |

Since Campy uses Magura tech in their hydraulic braking, is there any reason why someone couldn't use hydraulic rim brake calipers like the ones below:
https://www.bikeradar.com/news/magur...akes-released/ I know they're pretty rare and old, but so too are the bikes (and riders) that seem to frequent these halls..... |

I suspect the cassette/freehub design limits how small they can go with the largest cog making most of the cassette options larger than what many would want on a true road bike. I see people wanting 25 and 27t large cogs on 12 and with 13, you may not be able to go below 34t or so like shimano 11spd mtb. Above that and you are likely looking at a perfect application for ekar. Below that, do you need 13 cogs? |

As far as ISO frames go, there are a couple options. Magura MT8 (maybe others) calipers, Hope "Shimano" version, and as such could probably use Shimano or TRP calipers if you came across a good set. Basically you need to have a Mineral Oil caliper, that requires a similar amount of fluid displacement on pull of the lever. (Joosttx just updated his MTB from Magura MT calipers to XTR calipers)... I am nearing completing of my Magura MT8/Potenza build, and am looking forward to getting some time on the levers, just need to get a replacement hydraulic line because the used group I bought doesn't have enough length. Quote:
The biggest problem you'll see with the Magura version (and the Campy levers) is that they don't have a brake release built into the caliper like most mechanical brakes do (the Campy levers don't have the release button we love either), requiring the user to deflate the tires to install or remove them. I had stumbled across a Di2 hydro bike using the above Magura Calipers. User I think I have a solution, but its a bit convoluted and isn't an inexpensive route. If you (or anyone) really are interested in what I'm thinking about, send me a PM. I'd be happy to walk through my idea and how I think it will work..... |

I just bought GRX di2 with Easton 46/30 adventure rings and an 11-40 cassette, so I’m good, but this group set looks dope. Definitely makes sense if you are considering mechanical/hydro 1x. I hope this ends up being a commercial success for Campy so that they can keep innovating.

What's the max gearing range % for Ekar?
