Centaur Ergopower controls offer the same market leading ergonomics found on leading professionals bikes, giving a secure grip in all conditions and ensuring optimal comfort for longer rides.

The PowerShift system allows the inclusion of a lever for EPS style downshifting, ensuring great ergonomics and perfect control for the rider in all conditions.
Technology
Ultra-Shift
The Ultra-Shift control by Campagnolo is regarded by everyone as the fastest and most precise. Thanks to the Ultra-Shift patented system; you can move the chain simultaneously up 3 sprockets and then 5 down.
Furthermore, the lever design allows for an ever lighter shifting, whilst maintaining the "click" sound featured on all Campagnolo controls.
Ergopower Controls
Ergonomics:
The shape of the body conforms to your hands perfectly. The body of the control reproduces exactly the asymmetry of the human hand. This increases the contact with the palm and allows for various riding positions, ensuring maximum safety in all riding positions.
Comfort:
The shape allows you to easily reach the levers, regardless of your riding position and the size of your hands. The studies conducted on the position of cyclists' hands, showed three different steering positions depending on the course and the steering style. Based on these studies, Campagnolo created the particular and exclusive form of the Ergopower controls that enable you to steer with safety and comfort. The Vari-Cushion system is the shock absorber that envelops the body of the controls. The particular geometry of the hoods made of material of variable density, stretchy and hypoallergenic, absorbs vibrations, enabling you to stay in the saddle for many hours without hand fatigue.
Effective Braking:
The lever's Ultra-Shift shape lets you squeeze the brakes with greater power. In particular, it allows you to brake powerfully and promptly when the hands are gripping high up. This is a plus that will allow professionals to chat with greater peace of mind before getting on with the serious business.
