Campagnolo Chorus 12-Speed Hydraulic Ergos Levers and Calipers

The fantastic ergonomics that over the years have become a sort of calling card for Campagnolo have been even further improved with the latest introduction of Super Record and Record 12-speed transmissions. Not just ergonomic but also customizable, the new standard is embodied in the design of the Chorus levers. Apart from the brake lever, constructed in aluminum but with a coating that enhances its finish and feel, Chorus Ergopower are almost identical to those on the Super Record and Record controls. The new design of the brake lever hoods, brake lever and bigger gear levers, together with the Ergopower control “reach” that can be adjusted to suit hands of different sizes, make these new components unique and versatile.

Campagnolo’s tried and tested one-lever-one-action philosophy prevents unintentional shifts, even during tense competition or due to tiredness. The internal Ultra-Shift mechanism controls the 12-speed rear derailleur, letting the rider shift up by up to 3 sprockets and down by up to 5 sprockets in a single movement. Chorus controls deliver the same extremely durable, soft shifting performance of the other 12-speed groupsets thanks to new cables and their housings.

Technology

One-Lever One-Action

The EPS system Control levers are positioned and act according to the same logic as Campagnolo mechanical gear levers.

Lever 1 brake

Lever 2 up-shifting

Lever 3 down-shifting

Just like the mechanical versions, the levers are natural and intuitive to use. Activating the levers reproduces and follows the movement of the chain on the sprockets.

For example, lever 2 of the right Ergopower, which is pressed from right to left, moves the rear derailleur and makes chain shift up by one sprocket from right to left, copying the exact movement.

Waterproof IP67

The Campagnolo EPS electronic drivetrain complies with IP67 international standards.

This means that the system is able to protect its electronic components from dust and liquid infiltration.

In order to achieve the IP67 classification, all the electronic components of the EPS system underwent a series of tests, which proved their ability to function perfectly under one meter of water for at least 30 minutes.

Ultra-Shift System

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 Breaking

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.
