If there were such a thing as cycling component brand royalty, Campagnolo would surely assume its rightful place on the throne. With a pedigree history spanning more than 80 years in business, this brand is steeped in cycling heritage and synonymous with high-end, performance-driven innovation.
Few brands can say they helped shape modern cycling the way Campagnolo can. They were responsible for developing the quick-release wheel in the 1930s, the first road gear, electronic groupsets and new-gen carbon wheels.
Campagnolo regards tradition and technology with equal respect, designing, producing and distributing truly premium components for road racing, triathlon and gravel bikes. However, in a nod to its Italian DNA, it does everything with total class and seemingly effortless style.
As a result, it enjoys a worldwide reputation as the cycling component brand. If you want the best, you’ll want Campagnolo.

The world’s best cyclists love Campagnolo
The world’s best cyclists want to be supported by the world’s best groupsets, wheels and components. So, it’s no surprise that the brand’s history is linked to the who’s who of the pointiest end of cycling:
Five-time Tour de France winner, ‘Big Mig’ Miguel Indurain (who used Record for all five of his titles)
Tour de France 1998 winner Marco Pantani (using Record Titanium)
Thrice Tour de France winner Greg LeMond (using Record for his third title)
The great Eddy Merckx (who used many Campagnolo products, perhaps most notably the Nuovo Record groupset)
Multiple Tour de France winner and great Fausto Coppi rival, Gino Bartali (who won the ‘52 Tour de France with a Gran Sport groupset)
What does Campagnolo make?
Campagnolo makes the very best groupsets and wheels. These include:
GROUPSETS
Super Record
On top of the illustrious line-up is the Super Record, a 12-speed groupset offering the very highest degree of functionality, material quality and weight. Available in both EPS electronic and mechanical models for traditional and disc brakes and offering four possibilities from which to choose.
Record
Synonymous with road racing, the Record 12-speed features a front derailleur compatible with popular wide tyres, an uber-efficient crankset, Ergo controls and a rear derailleur with capacity for 11 to 34-teeth sprockets. Available in tradition or disc brakes.
Chorus
Another 12-speed groupset made for the pointy end of performance cycling. The specific 48/32 and 11-34 combinations makes Chorus perfect for anything from a Gran Fondo to a big weekend session.
Centaur
An affordable groupset that won’t compromise on quality and performance, the 11-speed Centaur is a great choice for those at the pointy end of road cycling. Available for traditional brakes with a two-gear chainring combination (52/36 and 50/34) and three sprocket set variants (11-32, 12-32, 11-29).
Ekar
The 13-speed Ekar gravel groupset was inspired by you guessed it, the Italian Mt Ekar and is made for all-road and endurance sessions in the saddle. If challenging terrain is your modus operandi, Ekar is your trusted partner.
WHEELS
Bora Ultra WTO
The name Bora is indelibly linked to great cycling victories. An incredible combination of stiffness and lightness, Bora Ultra WTO carbon wheels are responsive, reliable, and rocket fast. For the very best in materials, research and development, aerodynamics and detail, Bora Ultra WTO cannot be beaten.
Bora WTO
Thanks to its two-way pneumatic interface, the Bora WTO is compatible with tubeless or clinchers, and eliminates rolling resistance for both. The result is an aerodynamic and wind-tunnel optimised carbon profile, a thing of beauty and performance!
Shamal
The Shamal range includes Shamal Ultra, an easy-handling, accessible aluminium wheel through to the Shamal Carbon Disc Brake, Campagnolo’s first endurance wheel and the perfect carbon all-rounder with a surprisingly achievable price tag.
Scirocco
For a race-ready aluminium wheel that is hungry for competition, Scirocco is the answer. Medium profile, this versatile wheel is well suited to sprint stages as it is climbing.
Zonda
Setting the standard for reliable, precise performance, the Zonda aluminium wheel is a terrific medium-level option far superior to others in a comparable price bracket.
Calima
A terrific entry price into the Campagnolo line-up, Calima is a light, sturdy and flexible wheel suited to challenging roads.
Is Campagnolo still made in Italy?
Absolutely. This is a tremendous point of pride for Campagnolo, with all products created in the northern Italian city of Vicenza. No other component company in the cycling world can say that 100% of its production units are located in Europe. Campagnolo can more easily manage quality control by maintaining its facilities on the continent, something of utmost importance to the brand. Design, development and testing all take place in-house.
