- ProTech™ semi?axle system with internal and external sealing

Performance & Design
The Ekar chainset is engineered from the ground up for gravel and all?road riding. Its 2?piece Ultra?Torque axle maximises stiffness while keeping weight low, and the polyamide?carbon spider provides a durable, vibration?damping interface for the chainring. The UD carbon arms deliver the classic Campagnolo blend of efficiency and elegance, with a shape that suits riders of all sizes.
Chainring swaps are refreshingly simple: you can change gearing without disassembling the crankset, making it easy to tune your setup for steep Lakeland climbs, fast fire roads, or long mixed?terrain adventures.
Technology Highlights
- 2?piece construction — UD carbon arms paired with a strong 630?grade steel axle for optimal stiffness?to?weight.
- ProTech™ sealing — semi?axles self?align and are protected by both an external clip and an internal sleeve to keep out grit and water.
- Narrow?wide teeth — secure chain engagement and smooth power delivery across rough surfaces.
