  • Campagnolo Super Record Wireless ditches rim brakes, loses the iconic thumb button and shifts to individual batteries for the derailleurs. Add to that a wholesale change in approach to gearing and there’s a lot of new tech to get through.
    We’ve been in Italy riding the new groupset, so after giving you all of the juicy tech details, we’ll let you in on our first ride thoughts.
    But what do you make of Campagnolo’s new top-tier groupset? Do the derailleurs look too big to you? And what about that price!?!

      Campy and SRAM are so far behind Shimano in regards to electronics, just look at those monter mechs and batteries. Also they havent paid attention how the other brands have increased size of paddles due to consumer feedback. Good luck shifting correct gear in thick gloves, cold mornings or in a hetic race

      I wanted one more top grade rim brake bike, so I ordered a V3Rs in October, 2021, frame size 58s. After 15 months, Colnago had not built the frame. My LBS found a C64 rim brake frame in Colnago’s US warehouse, size 60s. We had already decided that an EPS group set would be better than a mechanical Record or Super Record for a bike that would have internal cable routing. So 11 years after Campagnolo introduced EPS, I have version 4 of EPS on my C64. I have three other rim brake bikes with Record 12-speed. I’ve been riding the new bike since February 3, and have about 3000km so far. I have done one charge at just over 1000km. With close to 2000km since that charge, I have 40% battery charge remaining. The group set works, of course. But I don’t think it is any better than a mechanical gruppo for my riding.
      Would I buy the new disc brake only SR Wireless? I think you can guess the answer.

So I cancelled the frame and reluctantly bought a SWorks Aethos and stuck on the Italian parts… well, love it! The only bad part is… occasional clunky shifting and once in a few months the shifter locks and no shifts for like 1 minute but otherwise…. All ok. Love the brakes and levers. Works and gorgeous looks. But the new SR EPS… meh…

    I’m a hardcore Campy fanboy. But this groupset genuinely feels like Campagnolo has just run out of ideas. Nothing on this makes sense. Why lose the thumb shifter on an electronic groupset? Why introduce yet another different BCD diameter and make your own 12sp groupset generations not cross compatible? Why introduce a 10tooth cog - that just seems like a desperate move to justify using the N3W freehub on the road groupsets. Why bother equipping each derailleur with its own battery when they’re not interchangeable? Why make this groupset so obscenely expensive? Honestly. I’m using Campag since the 9sp days even though I’m not that old. But this one I don’t get. No point in bothering with this. I hope they get their shit together next time round. Otherwise Campag will just become completely irrelevant.

    I love Campagnolo and have used it exclusively for 25 years. I wouldn’t dream of having Shimano on a road bike. One of the main reasons I love it was always because it was beautiful but as the years go by it’s looking more and more like Shimano. Things went downhill as soon as they stopped making the 5 armed cranksets which were gorgeous. I‘ll stick with Campagnolo but SRAM is beginning to look tempting.

    Very confusing. I’ve been riding Campy since 2003. Have disc super record EPS now. This seems like a downgrade in almost all respects. Bulkier derailleurs. Ditched the quintessential Campy thumb shifting. Aesthetically IMO it’s just less attractive looking. Crazy price points and launches without a power meter which should be standard at this level. And then funky cassette cog combos. A new app (should just fix the old app and make it better). And apparently the total system is heavier. So what is the point here. This seems very disappointing

They are awesome! I've been riding my SR EPS disc for the last month and yesterday jumped on my Madone 9 Ultegra Di2 with rim brakes and the feel and power you get from SR brakes are another level!!!

    Haters don’t like this groupset but they didn’t try it. Shimano is recalling Di2 failures which caused thousands of accident. When EPS starts to shift it goes very fast. Braking is smooth and maybe the best. Shimano is cold compared to Campy. There is a soul in this groupset. It might not be perfect but it is a real pleasure on the road. Only improvement would be to make wireless connection faster because I have impression of a very small delay, maybe for next software update.

    I have been using Chorus 10SP since 2007. If I would have to make a decision today I would go Chorus 12SP Disc. No reason to pay for new technology especially in loosing iconic thumb button. As for the wheels In 2018 I replaced my Eurus for Bora Ultra 35mm. Very pricy decision for poor increase performance. Today I would go Shamal Disc. Of course if you want to show of your wallet capacity you buy high end products, but expect to bee laugh at in terms of performance capacity. Show off as a price to pay........ In the bicycle words, you always be better off by keeping your money in the wallet versus loosing wait. As an example losing 10 pounds on the body versus spending 10,000$ more on the bike will be giving more performance, more pleasure and more proudness…. Have a great ride.

I have been riding Campagnolo since the Spring of 1985 when I was posted to the Supreme military HQ of NATO (SHAPE in Mons, Belgium) for three and a half years. A bit of a change from catapult shots and arrested landings off the Aircraft Carrier which I had been doing for the previous three years. I bought a steel frame and fork Eddy Merckx and had it built up with Nuovo Record and Campagnolo wheels with Vittoria sew-ups. And, yes, I have ridden with Eddy on a couple of occasions. I love the handling of the Dogma, and bluetooth is great progress from the previous EPS wires. Everyone has their own opinion: A lot of whining kids who could never afford a Grevel were disparaging its looks and price. Now, people who will never earn enough in their lifetimes to become financially independent and be able to actually buy this expensive stuff, whine about the appearance and cost of the Super Record wireless. Its like actually buying a Ferrari for cash; if you can do it, good for you! It you don't have a third of a million or more in the bank, just be an appreciative spectator, and don't criticize the shade of red chosen by the paying customer.

    It looks like they removed the thumb shifter, then added two thumb shifters to each lever. The derailleurs look clunky, the chainset less premium than previous iterations and the discs look tacky and cheap. For a 5 grand groupset Campagnolo should have taken their design inspiration from the Corsa Record groupsets of the early 90's and come up with slick modern lightweight carbon versions of the same. Maybe then 5 Grand would begin to make sense.

    Small front chainrings are dumb. Don't get me wrong, they have its place. However, for efficiency and smooth shifting at high speeds (when you need tight gear ratios the most) they suck. No wonder pros hate small front chainrigs. This is another groupset for dentists.

      I'm an amateur rider and my 52/36 is honestly the best. My bike shipped with 11s 11-28 and I replaced it for a 11-25 because the 52/36 is already a great all around set.
      I put a 50/34 pair on my commutor bike because the 44/34/24 was a pretty terrible combination. I can't even keep up with Cat4 riders and I ride these gears.
      I think the pros are riding what manufacturers WANT them to. Because otherwise why are the fastest riders in the world using compact gears and wide range cassettes?

    They should call it SRAMpagnolo, except that the front and rear batteries aren't interchangeable, and there is no integrated power meter. It is surprising that Campagnolo chose to keep with twelve cogs and not make the jump to thirteen. I have to admit I am a fan of the SRAM system. I expect within the next few years Shimano will put individual batteries on the derailleurs to complete their own transition to SRAMano.
