Campagnolo EKAR GT Crankset

No, the Ekar GT crankset is specifically engineered for Campagnolo's 1x13-speed Ekar system. It is optimized for the chainline and shifting requirements of that specific drivetrain.

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

It is straightforward. The crankset uses a standard 104mm BCD 4-bolt pattern, which makes swapping chainrings for different terrain or gear ratios relatively simple compared to proprietary direct-mount systems.

The 151mm Q-factor is designed to balance efficient power transfer with rider comfort. It keeps your feet closer together, which mimics a more natural pedaling stance for many cyclists, reducing fatigue during long gravel rides.

While it is optimized for gravel with a specific chainline and robust construction, you can certainly use it for road riding. However, keep in mind it is a 1x-only system, so you will be limited to a single chainring setup.

The Ultra-Torque system is designed for reliability and ease of use. The bearings are positioned for easy access, meaning you can service or replace them without needing specialized, complex tools.
