Campagnolo EKAR Gravel C13 13 Speed 117 Link Chain With Missing Link

Product Description

Campagnolo EKAR C13 13 Speed 117 Link Chain With Missing Link 

On 11 November 1927, when Tullio Campagnolo found himself all alone at the foot of the first steep climbs of the Croce d’Aune, he was not afraid and did not give up. Now that today we can count on a whole crowd of friends along our path, keen fans and admirers of Campagnolo products, we will never give up. We have chosen this image from the turn of the century to trace the salient stages of our distant and recent history.Campagnolo is not just a company, a logo or a trademark. Campagnolo today can be described as a brand.

An organization that has always transmitted and shared a set of values. Campagnolo has become all this in over 80 years, in part thanks to itself, the Campagnolo family, the individuals who every day dedicate all their efforts to a shared goal, but above all, the merit goes to keen cycling fans.

Campagnolo EKAR C13 13 Speed 117 Link Chain With Missing Link 

The new C13 chain is a vital element of the Ekar mechanical groupset; along with providing an efficient drive, in gravel riding a chain must work perfectly to contribute to the derailleur smooth, quick gear shifts, and always remain secure.

It must also be strong and durable – and the Ekar C13 chain delivers impressively on all fronts.

At just 4.9mm wide the C13 chain is 0.25mm narrower than the highly efficient Campagnolo 12-speed chain but delivers exactly the same high performance and durability that Campagnolo chains are renowned for. 

The C13 chain mates effectively with the wide-narrow teeth design of Ekar's 1x13-speed chainrings and cassette sprockets for a positive, efficient, low-friction drive, and benefits from high security.

Despite its narrow profile, the C13 chain is very strong; its C60 steel inner links have a Nickel-Teflon surface treatment to withstand the higher rate of wear they are subject to.

They are pinned to the high tensile strength C67 NiCrMo2 steel outer links – a more resistant steel with a higher carbon content, coated with a Nickel surface treatment to withstand the greater mechanical stresses they face.

The whole chain, made in Campagnolo’s dedicated facility in Vicenza, is subject to a unique lubrication process, with an ultrasound bath system that ensures the special lubricant formula coats deeply and evenly in every part of every link of every chain.

The result is efficient operation and high resilience, providing longevity even in the tough conditions faced in off-road riding, with less demanding maintenance requirements.

The Ekar C13 chain is available in two options: Campagnolo Classic with the pin, or with the new C-Link™, for even easier removal and cleaning.

This offers versatility to match the diverse requirements of every kind of gravel rider, worldwide. Both versions are strong, efficient and made with the same materials and processes, but the new options give you more choices – whether you’re racing gravel, taking on long-distance endurance rides, or however you choose to enjoy all-road riding.
