Campagnolo EKAR Road Bike Crankset 175mm 40T Chainring

The Campagnolo EKAR Crankset is engineered to meet the demands of gravel cyclists seeking uncompromised performance across diverse terrains. This cutting-edge 1×13-speed system delivers precision and reliability whether you’re racing on rugged gravel paths or conquering long-distance endurance rides. Designed with a focus on adaptability and efficiency, it combines advanced materials with functional innovations to elevate your off-road experience.

At its core lies a robust two-piece construction featuring a high-grade 630 steel alloy axle paired with unidirectional carbon fiber arms and a lightweight carbon spider—ensuring exceptional strength-to-weight ratio without sacrificing stiffness or responsiveness. The external bearing design simplifies maintenance by allowing quick access without removing the crankset from your bike frame. For seamless upgrades between rides, its alloy chainrings can be swapped effortlessly using standard tools, eliminating time-consuming disassembly processes.

The EKAR’s narrow-wide tooth profile on its 40T chainring guarantees secure chain retention even during aggressive pedaling or technical descents, while its compact 145.5mm Q-factor reduces knee strain and improves pedal stroke efficiency on drop bars—a critical advantage for all-day gravel adventures or competitive races. Built for Campagnolo’s Ultra-Torque spindle interface (requiring a separate Pro-Tech bottom bracket), it offers precise drivetrain alignment and compatibility with modern gravel setups.
