The Campagnolo EKAR GT Ergopower Shift/Brake Lever and Disc Brake Caliper are a game - changer for cyclists. This 13 - speed, right/rear setup comes with a 140mm flat mount hydraulic caliper in sleek black. Campagnolo enhanced the Ergopower control levers for EKAR GT. They're more comfortable on long rides, keeping the system's precision and the comfort of Vari - Cushion™ hoods. The one - lever - one - action design ensures you won't make shift mistakes, even on tough off - road terrains. The EKAR GT Ergopower brake lever has a wider reach adjustment range to fit your hand perfectly and match your riding style. With the Ultra - Shift™ mechanism, you can shift down up to 3 sprockets in one go, great for gravel rides on unpredictable terrain. The internal hydraulics of the EKAR GT brake system, using mineral oil, are shared with other high - performing Campagnolo calipers. It offers advanced modulation and a distinct feedback feel, working well on both roads and gravel. Key features include: Precise and fast shifting in any situation thanks to the one - lever - one - action and reliable 1x13 - speed transmission. Vari - Cushion™ hoods provide a comfortable and safe grip in all riding positions and off - road conditions. The texture on levers and hoods resists sweat and wear. Ultra - Shift™ allows multi - sprocket shifting in a single movement. The hydraulic system, shared with high - performance ranges, offers trusted modulation and a progressive feel. The greater reach adjustment on the Ergopower brake lever suits different hand sizes and riding styles. DB310 pads with a unique organic compound offer high braking performance and better wear resistance.
Using the Campagnolo EKAR GT Shift/Brake Lever is straightforward. First, adjust the reach of the brake lever to fit your hand size. You can do this by following the adjustment mechanism on the lever. When shifting gears, use the one - lever - one - action design. For quick down - shifting, the Ultra - Shift™ mechanism allows you to shift down up to 3 sprockets at once. For braking, just squeeze the lever gently to start slowing down, and apply more pressure for stronger braking. When riding, especially on off - road terrains, be aware that the one - lever - one - action system ensures accurate shifting even in tough conditions. Also, the Vari - Cushion™ hoods provide a comfortable grip no matter your riding position. As for maintenance, regularly check the hydraulic system. Since it uses mineral oil, make sure the oil level is sufficient. If you notice any decrease in braking performance, it might be time to bleed the brakes. Clean the levers and hoods regularly to remove sweat and dirt, as the texture on them is resistant to wear but can get dirty over time. Check the DB310 pads for wear and replace them when they're too thin to ensure good braking performance.
