New Campagnolo electric prototypes

If anything, the extra 'peak' at the top of the levers…

  • At least one Silence-Lotto bike was also equipped with Campagnolo's electronic group.
  • The new levers are decidedly curvier and longer than earlier prototypes.
  • Campagnolo surprised us with an as yet unseen new version of its electronic group.
  • Despite the radical appearance, the levers actually feel surprisingly similar to existing versions
  • If anything, the extra 'peak' at the top of the levers…
  • …now provides a perfect little hook for your thumbs.
  • This version of the Campagnolo electronic levers uses a shift button on the inner side of the body
  • The rear derailleur appears mostly unchanged from what we've already seen.
  • A titanium bolt mounts the new rear derailleur to the frame.
  • Likewise, the front derailleur appears the same as in previous sightings.
  • Campagnolo's semi-integrated battery can apparently also be used with standard bottle cages
  • Check out the novel computer mount on this Cofidis bike.
