Campagnolo has unveiled its latest group sets, called X, for Gravel and All-Road, featuring a 9-tooth rear sprocket. The brand ducks further under the recently rebuffed rule changes restricting final gear ratios, overthrown by competitor, SRAM, in court recently.
Campagnolo goes one tooth further than SRAM, to deliver a final drive ratio even higher than the 10 tooth SRAM uses, which courted controversy this summer, when the UCI moved to ban it.
