Campagnolo EKAR GT Disc Brake and Lever

No, the EKAR GT system is specifically engineered for Campagnolo's 1x13-speed drivetrain ecosystem. It is not designed to be cross-compatible with other component manufacturers.

The EKAR GT levers feature an expanded reach adjustment range compared to previous versions, allowing you to fine-tune the lever position closer or further from the handlebar. This is particularly helpful for riders with smaller hands or those who prefer a specific finger engagement point for better control.

Yes, the Vari-Cushion hoods are specifically designed for endurance. They feature a textured, sweat-resistant surface that provides a secure, comfortable grip, which helps reduce hand fatigue during long days on rough or uneven terrain.

This system requires mineral oil for its hydraulic internals. Do not use DOT fluid, as it is incompatible with the seals and hydraulic components in this system.

Like most organic brake pads, the DB310s perform best after a proper bedding-in process. We recommend performing a series of controlled stops on a safe, flat surface to transfer pad material to the rotor before heading out on technical descents.

While optimized for gravel, these levers are perfectly suitable for road cycling. The hydraulic performance, modulation, and ergonomic design translate well to road bikes, especially if you prefer a more secure, textured grip for varied riding conditions.
