Campagnolo Ekar GT C13 Chain – 13-speed for Gravel Cycling
Enhance your all-road journeys with the Campagnolo Ekar GT C13 Chain, the central component of the groundbreaking Ekar GT 1×13-speed gravel drivetrain. Designed exclusively to work seamlessly with the Ekar GT groupset, this chain is crucial for the system´s known reliability, efficiency, and security on challenging gravel paths and varied terrain. It showcases Campagnolo´s commitment to performance, built to offer dependable service consistently, regardless of your ride´s destination.
The construction of the Ekar GT C13 chain exemplifies purposeful engineering for the specific demands of gravel cycling. Its C13 designation indicates its precise design for 13-speed systems, featuring a slender yet exceptionally strong profile. This slim design is vital for optimal interaction with the Ekar GT cassette´s wide gear range, ensuring quiet operation and fluid, precise shifts with every lever press. The chain´s carefully shaped links engage with a distinct wide-narrow tooth pattern on the chainring and cassette sprockets. This synergy creates an extremely secure connection that significantly lowers the risk of the chain dislodging, empowering you to confidently tackle rough sections, technical descents, and bumpy ascents without hesitation.
Durability and longevity are fundamental to the Ekar GT C13 chain´s build. Campagnolo has carefully selected various grades of high-quality steel and applied specialized coatings to the links and pins. This results in a structure that is both immensely strong to withstand the high torque of gravel riding and highly resistant to wear and corrosion from debris, mud, and moisture. This robust construction is further enhanced by a unique, factory-applied lubrication process. The chain undergoes an ultrasound bath impregnation system, which ensures a specialized lubricant penetrates thoroughly into every roller and pivot point. This advanced treatment provides exceptional, long-lasting efficiency from the outset, reducing friction for smoother pedaling and extending maintenance intervals.
Despite its robust construction, the Ekar GT C13 chain is remarkably lightweight, weighing only 242 grams for a 118-link version. This low weight contributes to a more responsive and efficient drivetrain, maximizing power transfer to the rear wheel. For the dedicated gravel cyclist who demands unwavering reliability, smooth shifting, and optimal performance from their 13-speed drivetrain, the Campagnolo Ekar GT C13 chain is the ultimate choice.
