Campagnolo was the first to bring a 10-speed rear cluster to the road world, then 11, and now it is the first to punch again providing 12 speeds. The Record 12 Ergopower shifter is not only refined for extra cogs, but also allows for a wider range without interfering with cadence with large jumps between sprockets, and provides two different lever positions to adjust the lever to your preference and hand size. This new shifter is a trademark and the use of upshift lever and Ultra-Shift for positive gear changes in both directions. Multiple cog shift capabilities allow you to easily pedal while entering the base of 5 cogs and upshift cogs that can throw up to 3 hard gear into the sprint. Bottom line, these shifters take it at 12 speeds and continue the legacy of Campagnolo Record Ergo Power with an update to ensure that spot as a benchmark where all other mechanical road levers are judged. Camp works tirelessly to unplug cable-pull lugs and provide instant forward and rear transmissions. This allows for faster shifting and more precise under load. Normally one of our favorite features with electronic groups is how easy the front shift is, but with a rapid shift of the record it makes it easy and intuitive to change the chain between the ring both the hood and the drop. Adding trim adjustment allows you to combine 24 different gear without scratching the chain, making it a serious candidate for any electronic system. Another favorite is the Vari-Cushion hood that incorporates a variety of density silicone and waffle patterns to add a bit of cushioning from rough roads. The pebble-like texture under the hood, groove on the top and provides plenty of grip and traction with or without gloves and is not an issue...
