Campagnolo have brought out a new 11-speed cassette which should be perfect for sportive riders. If offers a range of 12-29t, compared to the standard 11-25t or 11-27t.

Campag say this means you can run a compact 50-34t crankset but have gearing equivalent to a 53-42-30t triple crankset, while saving weight and benefiting from better chain alignment.

The cassette will work with standard Campag rear derailleurs. Super Record and Record versions will be available later this month, with a Chorus model hitting shops in February. Prices TBC.
