The completely redesigned crankset represents increased rigidity as well as fresh and cutting edge aesthetics.
The new version uses a 4 arm spider design which makes for one single crankarm for all chainring options thanks to
its unified bolt pattern.
Gone are the days of having a dedicated bolt pattern for standard chainrings and another for compact rings. No longer
will changing from traditional to compact, or vice versa, translate into the obligatory purchase of a completely new
crankset.
The new bolt pattern allows for all 3 chainring standards 53/39, 52/36 and 50/34 to be built upon the same crankset.
Changing between compact and standard is now as easy as changing 8 bolts and two chainrings. While the new 4-arm
bolt pattern makes for a much more practical design that offers the cyclist a more versatile component, the Campy
Tech Lab was dedicated primarily on increasing performance characteristics.
The new design incorporates a 8 bolt pattern with a spider arm design that not only holds the chainring in place by
way of the bolt but also supports the chainring and in doing so, increases system rigidity. In addition to
completely redesigning the spider, Campagnolo engineers dedicated a great deal of energy towards a completely new
crankarm that is a great deal stiffer than previous versions. Add this new highly rigid crankarm to the new four-arm
spider design and you have a complete crankset that not only excels at transferring power more than any previous
version but one that is also more versatile with respect to gearing.
Technology
Ultra-Torque
Lightness, rigidity, simplified assembly and maintenance: ultra-torque. This is campagnolo’s answer in the
integrated crankset sector. After more than 10 years since its introduction the ultra-torque system, it is still
considered, the best performing crank-set spindle in terms of stiffness, low weight and efficiency of power
transmission.
Campagnolo found a way to permanently conjoin the semi-axles of the bottom bracket to the respective crankset arms.
This redesign made it possible to considerably reduce the lateral dimensions at the axle level and prevent annoying
contact with the ankles when turning the pedals.
Assembly is simplistic: one single oversize bolt is enough to integrate the two semi-axles. With regard to torque
transmission efficiency, this system is equally as effective as a single piece axle.
Furthermore, despite the narrow side profile, we have been able to position the bearings outside the bottom bracket
shell, resulting in greater axle rigidity from the increased axle diameter. This breakthrough was obtained by using
an ingenious mechanical system derived from many years’ motoring experience in the rotation axle and engine shaft
coupling sector: the Hirth joint.
In short , this is a joint with self-centring and self-aligning frontal teeth located in the middle of the
bottom-bracket axle where the ends of the semi-axles, integrated with the crankset arms, come into contact.
