Crankset: Single Chainring, Eight Options

The new Campagnolo Super Record X 1x crankset is the result of an engineering study aimed at combining structural rigidity, mechanical efficiency, light weight, and functional aerodynamics. All of which manufactured in Europe and featuring Campagnolo’s traditional and distinctive style, i.e. exposed carbon fiber cranksets and dedicated branding with the “Super Record X” logo on the outside and an “X” on the inside.

The single chainring features eight sets of teeth made of aeronautical-grade aluminum alloy: 38/40/42/44/46/48/50/52, in a range sufficient to cover every route requirement. The teeth feature a new profile developed from Ekar’s experience, specifically designed to ensure optimal chain engagement, uniform traction even in dead spots, and chain stability on the roughest terrain. The cranks are also customizable, available in lengths of 165, 170, 172.5, and 175 mm.

The crankset uses the proven Ultra-Torque steel axle, revised here in its length (Q-factor: 152 mm for a 47.5 mm chain line) to facilitate compatibility with gravel bike frames that require generous tire clearance. The package is completed by the new QCK-Tech bottom bracket and Campagnolo low-friction bearings sealed with an additional patented external seal to protect against external contaminants (mud, dust), for maximum mechanical efficiency and durability over time.

Cranksets are also available with an integrated power meter, here redesigned for use with a single chainring: the Super Record X PowerMeter uses the HPPM (High Precision Power Measurement) system, which operates with sixteen sensors that cross-reference power in N/m – detected with multiple sequential readings – with the angular velocity of the integrated gyroscope in real time. Data are reliably and precisely available in real time. Its location directly on the axle also avoids any interference from the cranks, favoring a pure torque measurement.
