Campagnolo Ekar Crankset

The Ekar crankset is specifically engineered for the Campagnolo Ekar 1x13-speed drivetrain. It is not designed for use with other groupsets due to the specific chainring profile and spacing requirements of the Ekar system.

The modular design makes swapping chainrings straightforward. You can change them without removing the entire crankset from the bike, which is a significant advantage for riders who frequently adjust their gearing for different terrain.

The narrow 145.5mm Q-factor is designed to mimic the pedaling stance of a road bike. This promotes a more natural, efficient pedal stroke, which can reduce fatigue during long gravel rides or endurance events.

Yes, the narrow-wide tooth profile is highly effective at securing the chain. It locks the chain in place, providing the reliability needed to prevent drops when riding over rough, technical gravel or washboard surfaces.

The Ekar crankset uses the Campagnolo Ultra-Torque system, which requires a compatible Campagnolo Pro-Tech bottom bracket. These external bearings are designed specifically to handle the demands of gravel riding while keeping maintenance simple.
