Campagnolo Ekar 1x13 Gravel Groupset

If you want your gravel bike to feel as light, fast, and refined as a true Italian thoroughbred, the Campagnolo Ekar 1x13 is the upgrade to put you in a class of your own. We fit Ekar for riders who want a mechanical system that’s precise, robust, and designed for real adventure—whether you’re racing, exploring, or just loving those long, rolling miles.

Why We Rate Campagnolo Ekar at Bike Clinique:
Ekar delivers the lightest gravel groupset on the market, with Campagnolo’s legendary attention to detail. The 1x13 setup means less weight, fewer parts to worry about, and gear changes that are effortless—even when the going gets rough. With three cassette options and chainrings from 38 to 44 teeth, you’ll have the perfect gearing for anything from fast group rides to loaded bikepacking.
