EKAR 13X Chainset – 170/ mm Cranks
Campagnolo’s Ekar 13x chainset brings the brand’s gravel-first philosophy to life: lightweight, brutally reliable, and purpose-built for 1x simplicity. With no front mech to clog, no overlapping gears, and no wasted motion, it delivers clean, efficient power transfer across rough terrain and fast all-road miles. The 170/ mm version hits the sweet spot for balanced leverage and responsiveness, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of riders.
Key Features
- UD carbon crank arms with a 630-grade steel Ultra-Torque axle
- ProTech semi-axle system with internal and external sealing
- Narrow-wide chainring profile for secure chain retention
- Interchangeable outer chainrings without removing the crankset
- Crank boots included for arm protection
- Narrow 145.5/ mm Q-factor for modern frame compatibility
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.
