Enter Campagnolo Record 13 wireless.
After two separate Super Record launches last year, Campagnolo is back for 2026 with a whole suite of 1x and 2x 13-speed Record wireless groupsets that are a lot more affordable. With five different road, all-road, and gravel gruppo configurations available, the new wireless Campagnolo Record 13 platform costs 37% less than Super Record, saving buyers 1200-1600€ with just a couple hundred grams of added weight to show for it. You get much of the same classy angular carbon good looks, the super-fast wireless electronic shifting, mix-and-match wireless 13-speed compatibility with or without a clutched rear derailleur, excellent proven braking, and those same made-in-Italy vibes.
Just now, it’ll cost you a lot less.
Campagnolo Record 13 wireless road and gravel groupset
Everything you loved about Super Record, but now at the Record level for 5/8 of the price.
It’s still not quite as cheap as Force XPLR or Ultegra. But Record is now a lot more affordable than either Red XPLR or Dura-Ace, again splitting the difference of its two big dropbar competitors. Besides being made-in-Europe which a lot of traditionalists love, the new wireless Record 13 platform offers a lot of value in its ability to be adapted specifically to how you ride – whether that’s pure road, various mixed surface all-road and gravel mentalities, or a dedicated off-road gravel style.
Everything you loved from Super Record 13 wireless, but still couldn’t afford…
All the key features of Campagnolo’s top-tier wireless 13-speed groupset trickle down to Record 13.
You get the same made in-house in Italy ethos. The same fast-shifting electronics inside, and the same removable, rechargeable 750km-range batteries that are different front & rear to not anger SRAM’s AXS patents.
Plus, this latest generation of battery has direct USB-C ports on them, which make charging much easier to manage!
The Record 13 derailleurs still get the mix of carbon-reinforced polyamide upper & lower knuckles and outer pulley cage, connected with alloy links. But now with a stamped inner steel cage delivers “exceptional lightness, strength, and reliability.”
Plus, the 14-tooth narrow-wide pulleys now feature durable sealed stainless steel bearings which help lower costs.
Both the all-road and gravel derailleurs feature the same Nano Clutch for chain retention.
And the gravel 1x-specific Record X gravel derailleur adds the longer cage and 12T & 16T pulley configuration to work with cassettes up to 48 teeth, again with a carbon outer and steel inner cage.
Cassette-wide, Record 13 cassette continues the tightly-spaced 13-speed gearing steps from Super Record.
For Record 13 you can pick from 10-33T, 11-36T, and 10-48T options depending on the rear derailleur you select. The new cassettes feature the same low-friction Black Chrome finish as SR on the smaller cogs, and then a new darker Satin Black finish to the upper cogs that is said to “enhance resistance to wear“.
Plus, new Campagnolo Record 13 is fully compatible with the original Super Record 13 cassettes, and those extra premium Ultra 13 ones, too.
New Record Ergopowers, same classic Campy control
The new Record 13 Ergopower shift brake controls are functionally the same as Super Record, keeping the classic Campy thumb button that got a huge functional boost with Super Record.
You still get easy reach adjust, and the latest simple, hollowed out shift paddles.
Inside, in addition to the inner thumb shift lever, there’s also the same customizable Smart Button at the top of the hood, plus the inner Mode button & LED indicator.
The hydraulic brake system inside remains unchanged from Super Record, and pairs with the same excellent disc brake power and modulation, as before.
Again, the only difference is in the same matte/gloss finish like you’ll find on the new Record brake levers.
What’s new & different?
The key differences are almost entirely in more careful and more affordable material choices and simpler finishes. Think: less use of titanium and more steel or aluminum. And less extensive machining away of excess material like in the new Record cassette.
The end result being an extra 208-342g of material, depending on which Record 13 configuration you choose over Super Record 13. But always the same performance.
Campagnolo Record – Options, pricing & weight comparisons, and availability
As a baseline setup, this new Campagnolo Record groupset sells for 2700€ in a traditional road 2×13 build, without a powermeter. That’s 1600€ less (<37%) than Super Record. The Record 2×13 configuration has a claimed weight of 2783g (vs. 2441g for SR).
For a gravel comparison, the new Campagnolo Record X groupset sells for 2130€ in a 1×13 build, with a Nano Clutched rear derailleur and also without a powermeter. That’s 1245€ less (again <37%) than Super Record X. The Record X 1×13 configuration has a claimed weight of 2777g (vs. 2569g for SR).
The road/all-road, clutched 1x with a smaller road cassette is the lightest of the new platform, with a claimed weight of 2656g and a price tag of 2335€. The road/all-road, clutched 2x again with the small cassette weighs a claimed weight of 2806g and a price of 2765€. And lastly, the road/all-road, clutched Record X 1x with the wide range cassette has a claimed weight of 2820g and the same 2129€ price as the gravel-specific version.
Even though that Record X crank we got a look at (above) kind of seems like it, that is not the powermeter crankset, but rather the 1x-specific Record X crankset used for 1x gravel, road & even TT builds.
Campagnolo uses the same modular right-side direct-mount Record crank arm for both this 1x spider and their spider-based powermeter. Interestingly, the new Record-level PWN power meter now sells for just 600€ extra over a conventional setup. That’s a huge 567€ savings (a 49% reduction) vs. the SR HPPM, made possible with “simplified electronics” that maintain +/-2% accuracy claims.
The Record 2×13 Road, Record X 1×13 Gravel, and Record X 1×13 Road builds are all available starting today. As are the power meters. The Road/All-Road 1x & 2x versions with the Nano Clutch derailleur, designed to be used with conventional smaller cassettes, will be available in July 2026.
