Campagnolo is a premium road cycling brand with deep heritage, founded and based in Vicenza Italy. The meticulous production and end results of their groupset components are unmatched, and their hand-built wheels are some of the best in the industry. Carbon and Titanium is used in abundance for ultimate durability and the lowest weight possible.
Triathlon and time trials permit not even the slightest error. This is why Campagnolo’s brake levers have distanced buttons to shift up and down on the sprockets and chainrings. An exceptional result achieved thanks to continuous work with top triathletes and time trial specialists: excellent ergonomics and ease of use that translate into maximum safety and minimum exertion for the cyclist.
Aerodynamic and, above all, ergonomic, the EPS brake controls enable shifting in any riding position. The hydraulic system has been perfectly integrated in the shape of the controls: this ensures unbeatable aerodynamics and makes it possible to have Campagnolo high-performance braking also on time trial bikes with disc brakes.
Technology
One Lever - One Action
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 - IP 67
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.

Easy Maintenance
A single wrench is all that’s needed to fit and remove the controls; no need to remove the controls to drain the hydraulic system and the valve is easy to reach.
Distanced Buttons for Sprocket Up-and-Downshift and Chainrings
Each button has its own function. This ensures precise control and eliminates the possibility of errors whatever the conditions (winter temperatures, rough terrain, winter gloves).
