For Ekar, we modified the Campagnolo Ergopower controls to suit a specific gravel use, maintaining the system's advantages: the renowned precision and maximum comfort offered by the Vari-Cushion™ hoods. With the differentiated action levers, you will never miss a shift - even in the challenging off-road environment, the proven Campagnolo One-Lever-One-Action philosophy guarantees perfect control. Lever 3 has been redesigned, larger and with a C shape, easy to reach with the right thumb while pedaling with hands in the high position on the handlebar: the most used hand position by gravel riders. The Ergopower Ekar levers allow adjustment of the brake lever reach, to fit hand and finger sizes and meet the needs of your riding style. To further improve control on gravel routes, the aluminum brake lever and hoods are laser-cut with an additional texture to increase grip, regardless of conditions. The laser pattern is also resistant to wear from sweat, dirt, and cleaners: a gravel-proof solution. The internal Ultra-Shift™ mechanism controls the 13-speed shifting, allowing you to climb up to 3 cogs in a single movement. The reliability of individual downshifts is ideal for gravel routes on slippery, undulating, and unpredictable surfaces.
