Campagnolo EKAR GT Rear Derailleur Description:

The Campagnolo EKAR GT Rear Derailleur is a dedicated 1 x 13 speed rear derailleur that is designed around the unique demands of gravel and adventure biking. The carbon fiber-reinforced polyamide body will improve the stiffness and strength of the derailleur for improved shifting performance, and houses a permanently engaged clutch for impressive drivetrain stability and chain retention. The aluminum alloy blend used on the pulley cage was chosen for its impact resistance, stiffness, and light weight. Stuffed inside of this cage are oversized and highly abrasion resistant polymer pulley wheels that ensure a smoother chain path, less rotational friction in the drivetrain, longer chain life especially when used on a cassette with a 9t cassette sprocket, and quiet operation. Add in an impressive 39t chain wrap capacity that will allow this derailleur to handle everything from 9-36t cassette with very tight ratios, perfect for racing, all of the way up to an enormous 10-48t cassette and you have a rear derailleur that offers the rider plenty of flexibility, performance, and ruggedness to tackle any cycling adventure.

Features:

• Carbon fiber-reinforced polyamide and anodized 7075 and 6082 alloys produce a derailleur that adds stiffness where it is needed for precise shifting, will withstand impacts from trailside obstacles, and does this all without a serious weight penalty
• Stainless steel bolts for strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term resilience on gravel
• 2D parallelogram trajectory designed specifically for EKAR and EKAR GT derailleurs optimizes the derailleur path over all 13 cassette sprockets for very precise shifting
• Oversized, high grade polymer pulley wheels (12T upper, 14T lower) will run much quieter than metal pulleys, reduce chain deflection and wear for a longer lasting chain, and have reduced frictional losses so it is easier to spin the cranks around
• Permanently engaged clutch provides enhanced chain retention and reduces the chances of the chain slapping on the frame, and can be locked to make wheel removal much easier
• EKAR GT is designed to fit a larger potential gear range (up to a 48t cassette sprocket) vs. the standard EKAR rear derailleur (which can only fit a 44t cassette sprocket)
