I got my hands on Campagnolo’s new Super Record 13-speed wireless groupset just ahead of the launch last week, and I’ve been riding it every day since. In all weathers too. The rolling but largely flat countryside and quiet roads around where I live are the perfect place to examine whether or not anyone needs an extra ratio out back – cadence is key round here – and whilst 13-speed is the headline at the launch of this groupset, I’m just as keen to see if Campagnolo can get itself back in the race for ‘best road groupset’.
At first glance the spec sheet is promising. With the launch of Super Record 13, the Italian brand appears to have gone back to its knitting.
