Campagnolo EKAR GT Crankset

No, the EKAR GT crankset is specifically engineered for Campagnolo's 13-speed gravel drivetrain. It is optimized for the chainline and shifting requirements of that specific system.

No, the bottom bracket is not included with the crankset. You will need to purchase a compatible Campagnolo ProTech bottom bracket separately to complete the installation.

It is quite straightforward. The crankset features a standard 104mm BCD (Bolt Circle Diameter) with a 4-bolt mount, allowing you to easily swap chainrings as your terrain or riding needs change.

The 151mm Q-factor is designed to provide a narrower, more natural pedaling stance. This helps improve biomechanical efficiency and comfort, especially during long days in the saddle on gravel terrain.

While it is engineered specifically for the rigors of gravel riding, it is technically compatible with road frames that accept the 47.5mm chainline. However, its durability and gearing focus are optimized for off-road performance.

The Hirth ProTech joint is designed for reliability and simplified maintenance. The bearing races are easily accessible, making it straightforward to clean and service the system to keep it running smoothly.
