Bytager the publication "Campagnolo launches ULTRA: the Super Record 13 pushed to its peak"
Campagnolo unveils ULTRA, the most advanced version of its iconic Super Record 13 groupset, designed for the most demanding cyclists. This premium component pack combines performance, lightness, and refined aesthetics. From the carbon chainring to the titanium cassette and ceramic bottom bracket bearings, every element of the ULTRA kit embodies technical excellence and Italian craftsmanship.
Carbon chainring: stiffness and style
The ULTRA chainring, manufactured in Vicenza, combines a carbon fiber structure with heat-treated 7075 aluminum teeth. This combination provides exceptional rigidity for optimal power transfer, even in critical moments, while significantly reducing weight. The result:
50 teeth: 78 g (34g lighter than the standard Super Record).
52 teeth: 102 g (28 g less).
The carbon fiber, stabilized at 130°C under controlled pressure, guarantees perfect fiber orientation for increased durability. The 7075 aluminum teeth, derived from aeronautics, ensure remarkable longevity and optimal compatibility with the chain. Aesthetically, the ULTRA logo and the teeth details, directly integrated into the mold, give a distinctive racing look.
Titanium cassette: lightness and elegance
The ULTRA 13 cassette redefines performance with its aircraft-grade titanium sprockets, machined from a single piece for impressive lightness:
10-33 teeth (4 titanium sprockets): 215 g (30g less than the standard Super Record).
11-36 teeth (5 titanium sprockets): 238 g (44 g less).
Beyond weight reduction, this cassette stands out for its sleek design. The laser-etched graphics and black chrome/natural titanium finish make it a striking visual statement, signed Campagnolo. Every detail reflects the combination of technical functionality and sophisticated aesthetics.
ULTRA Ceramic bearings: unrivaled fluidity
The bottom bracket, the invisible heart of the bike, receives a major upgrade with ULTRA Ceramic bearings. Equipped with silicon nitride balls (aerospace standards), these bearings guarantee minimal friction, perfect circularity, and exceptional longevity. The high-performance resin internal cage reduces noise and friction, while a double sealing system protects against dust and wear. Weight is also optimized: only 49 g for the BSA version, 3g less than the standard version. This evolution of Campagnolo's integrated bearings ensures long-lasting smoothness, even in the most demanding conditions.
An exclusive kit for ultimate performance
The ULTRA pack doesn't just improve performance: it redefines the aesthetics of the Super Record 13. With weight savings of up to 81 g, this groupset becomes the lightest on the market. Available individually or as a complete kit, the ULTRA components come in elegant packaging with a chrome finish and the ULTRA logo in contrasting black, emphasizing their exclusivity.
