Description
Engineered for elite performance on the open road, the Campagnolo Chorus 12-Speed Crankset delivers unmatched power efficiency and durability through its innovative design and premium materials. Designed specifically for competitive road cyclists and endurance riders alike, this crankset leverages Campagnolo’s Ultra-Torque technology to maximize stiffness while minimizing weight—ensuring every pedal stroke translates directly into forward momentum without energy loss.
Crafted with precision-molded unidirectional carbon fiber arms paired with a robust steel spindle and high-grade aluminum chainrings (48/32T), this system balances featherlight weight (686g) with unwavering rigidity under intense force. The symmetrical tooth profile on its inner chainring ensures smooth shifting even during extreme cross-chaining scenarios common in aggressive climbs or technical descents—critical for maintaining control during demanding rides. A protective surface treatment extends the life of its chainrings by resisting wear from constant contact with high-end chains used in professional racing setups.
With a Q-factor of 145.5mm and compatibility across standard 130mm hubs and road disc systems (135/142mm) on frames exceeding 415mm chainstays, this crankset adapts seamlessly to modern road bike geometries while maintaining optimal chainline alignment for precise gear engagement. Its double-chainring configuration offers versatile gearing options whether you’re tackling alpine ascents or racing criteriums—ideal for riders prioritizing both speed and adaptability in their drivetrain setup.

Designed for serious road enthusiasts who demand precision without compromise, this crankset pairs perfectly with Campagnolo’s 12-speed drivetrains (spindle size: 9/16”, crank length: 170mm). While it requires a separate Campagnolo Ultra-Torque bottom bracket for installation—a small trade-off—it rewards riders with responsive acceleration on sprints and unmatched stability during long-distance events where every gram counts and every shift must be flawless. Whether chasing KOMs or training for gran fondos, the Chorus Crankset elevates performance through engineering that’s both functional and forward-thinking.
