Folks, I said "chances are". Don't get yer knickers twisted.
I'm speculating of course. But it's fairly obvious it'll come eventually. |

I also really want it. I'm not the most inside insider, but, barring a true accidental leak (not a planned marketing leak) I hear of things before most people, sometimes by a couple of days and sometimes by a few months. I've heard nothing about electronic Ekar. I want it quite a bit, but significantly less ever since setting up my Melee with a 1 x 12 Force AXS set up (48 x 10-44). It's not perfect, but I think it's more perfect than 2x ever was, for everything from mountain rides to fast flat rides. A 13th cog would be lovely, but I don't think it's necessary. But if electornic Ekar retains the thumb shifter, golly, I'm on board.

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. |

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.

That being said I want EKAR WRL just so it's one less cable to deal with on a bike. |

Nobody is claiming that EKAR mechanical will go away.
One of the reasons for the speculation is that Campagnolo having EKAR and EKAR GT in their lineup really makes little sense since they basically overlap in the segment. EKAR might be billed as higher end compared to GT but the differences really aren't that significant enough to warrant two groupsets are they? It only makes sense that EKAR would be phased out and be reborn as electronic, while GT remains mechanical. |
