Multiple chainring options, a single front derailleur A new standardized front derailleur, versatile enough to offer optimum performance when shifting with both CT™ and traditional cranksets. Now the need to choose the type of front derailleur on the basis of the crankset is a thing of the past. Starting from this season Campagnolo® is introducing the new standardized front derailleur, compatible with both traditional and Compact cranksets. The geometry and the mechanical joint of this front derailleur – the outcome of in-depth study stages alternated with countless practical experiments – have been extensively redesigned. Now it employs an internal “Z-shape” plate, which increases rigidity and the effectiveness of the thrust on the cage, as well as a central “M-brace” body which constrains the outer plate on both sides and enhances shifting performance. The “Even-O” fixing clamp has also been redesigned so that the clamping load on the vertical tube of the frame is distributed more evenly, a feature which is by no means secondary considering how widespread frames made of composites are. The cage the chain runs through is composed of aluminium alloy and composite for the Record™ series, aluminium alloy for the Chorus™ groupset and stainless steel for the remaining groupsets. 73 grams.
