CAMPAGNOLO CX THE CAMPAGNOLO CX RANGE EXPANDS WITH THE NEW CX

BRAKES AND NEW BORA ONE CX WHEELS

Campagnolo believes in the exciting discipline of cyclocross. The number of enthusiasts ofthis extremely demanding sport is growing steadily, and that’s why Campagnolo hasdecided to make an even greater commitment to this speciality.

To effectively confront a CX competition, the preparation and technical skills needed by theathlete are a mixture of those typical of road bike and mountain bike racing. Like theathlete, the wheels and components have to be specially designed to guarantee themaximum performance even under the most extreme conditions.

For 2012 Campagnolo decided to strengthen its offer in this “terrain”, introducing newproducts designed for those who are dedicated to competition: the new CX cantileverbrakes and the Bora One CX full carbon high profile wheels.

The CX range is therefore expanding and, with its products, embraces cyclocrossenthusiasts of all levels.

The Campy Tech Lab™ engineers have invested all their in-depth laboratory and field testexperience into the new CX range, making the new components more resistant and reliableeven in the most extreme climatic and terrain conditions.

Now enthusiasts can give free rein to their passion and confront any terrain and anyadversary, with confidence in the performance of Campagnolo CX products.

The new CX cantilever brakes have been specially developed to interact perfectly with theCampagnolo Ergopower 10-speed and 11-speed controls.The form of the brakes is optimised to guarantee the best transfer of braking force from the leversto the wheel and to prevent mud from accumulating between the wheel and the brakes.

The brake pads are adjustable and thedistance between breaking pads ranges from20 mm to 35 mm, which makes it possible touse tires ranging from 19 to 35 mm and rimsfrom 19 to 22 mm.

Cable tension adjustment is fast and preciseusing a wheel system.

The weight of the CX cantilever brakes is only138 grams (weight including cables andaccessories).

The CX cantilever brake is available in twoversions, black and silver.

FEATURES BENEFITS

Adjustment of the distance between pads (20-35mm)

Possibility to use:Tires of width 19 – 35 mmRims of width 19 – 22 mm

Adjustable brake padsCable tension adjustment system

Maximumbraking performance

Optimised shape Easy to remove mud

Compatible with Ergopower controls Maximumbraking performance

THE NEW CX CANTILEVER BRAKES

The new Bora One CX wheels are dedicated to the most assiduous riders, who confront cyclocrosscompetitions during the winter season.

Thanks to the 50mm profile, Bora CX wheels reduce mud accumulation to the minimum.Light and reactive, they allow you to be extremely fast on any type of terrain.

The use of a special double seal, specially designed for cyclocross use, protects the wheels frommud and dust, guaranteeing that the performance features are maintained over time.

The Bora CX wheels weigh 1350 grams.

THE RACING SPEED FAMILY

IS EXPANDINGNEW 80 MM WHEELS AND NEW DARK LABEL VERSIONS

For 2012 the Fulcrum family of high profile carbon wheels is expanding with the new Racing Speed XLR 80and the new Dark Label versions of the Racing Speed 50mm and the Racing Speed XLR 50mm and 80mm.

So the big news for 2012 is the introduction of the brand new Fulcrum high profile carbon 80 mm wheels.They’ll be called Racing Speed XLR 80 and, as mentioned, they’ll be available in the classic colouring thatdistinguishes the Racing XLR 50mm as well as in the new Dark Label version.

Created to satisfy the specific demand of professional racers for a wheel with a higher profile but still easyto handle, the new Racing XLR 80mm has been designed to better penetrate the air and at the same timeguarantee extreme acceleration and manoeuvrability, even with a side wind.

Tested first in the wind tunnel and then on the road, the new 80mm wheels guarantee an optimum level ofaerodynamic penetration without penalising the wheel’s handling, steering, and reactivity.The new 80mm models are equipped with carbon hubs and oversize aluminium flanges. The bearings withCULT technology are adjustable thanks to the cone/cap system.All the wheels of the Racing Speed family feature the spoke anti-rotation system that assures theconsistently correct and aerodynamic position of the spoke.

Racing Speed XLR 80 Dark Label Racing Speed XLR 80

All the wheels employ Two-to-One™ spokepattern: on the rear wheel, 18 stainless steelaero spokes that maximise the efficiency oftransferring the athlete’s power to the wheel,and on the front wheel, 16 radial spokes instainless steel with aerodynamic profile.

The new Racing Speed XLR 80 wheelset weighsin at 1540g (715g + 825g), an extremelycompetitive weight compared to analogouswheels available on the market.

In addition, in response to the new market trend wherewe are seeing a proliferation of matte black frames,Fulcrum decided to create a special colouring for theRacing Speed 50mm and Racing Speed XLR 50mm and80mm. The new version will be called Dark Label andwill have the same technical features as the RacingSpeed and Racing Speed XLR models.
