Campagnolo Ekar Rear Derailleur

No, the Ekar rear derailleur is specifically designed for the 13-speed Ekar gravel drivetrain. It is not compatible with other Campagnolo road or gravel groupsets due to its unique 13-speed indexing and pull ratio.

The derailleur features a dedicated clutch lock mechanism. By engaging this lock, you can hold the derailleur cage in a forward position, which creates enough slack in the chain to remove or install your rear wheel quickly and easily.

The Ekar rear derailleur is optimized for a maximum cog size of 44 teeth. This range is specifically engineered to provide the gear ratios necessary for challenging gravel terrain.

Yes, it is built specifically for the rigors of gravel. It uses a blend of carbon fiber-reinforced polyamide and high-grade 7075 and 6082 alloys, which balances low weight with the impact resistance needed for off-road riding.

The 2D trajectory is designed to keep the pulley wheels at an optimal distance from the cassette cogs throughout the entire range. This ensures consistent, precise shifting performance, even when you are moving across the wider gear jumps typical of a gravel cassette.

The derailleur weighs 275 grams. This weight is achieved through its strategic use of carbon-reinforced materials and high-grade alloys, keeping your bike light without sacrificing structural integrity.
