Campagnolo Record Ultra-Shift 12-Speed Ergo Levers

The new mechanical Ergopower Record double 12-speed Speed Rim Brake controls: aesthetically pleasing and functional.

The new carbon unidirectional levers lend the Record Rim Brake controls an air of power, stiffness and reliability. These new controls allow riders to select two different lever-handlebar positions spaced to adapt to the size of the hand, whilst keeping braking efficiency constant. This is accomplished through the new angle of the up-shifting lever that prevents any possible contact with the curve of the handlebar. The position of the lever is adjusted by acting directly on the controls in a simple and safe manner.

The Vari-Cushion technology offers an ergonomic, comfortable and safe support and grip. The "one lever-one action" feature assigns each lever one function to prevent shifting errors. The Ultra-Shift mechanism enables upshifting up to three sprockets at a time and downshifting a full five. The new Record double 12-speed Speed Rim Brake levers introduce a double curvature to improve grip and safety.

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.

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.
