EKAR C13 CHAIN
The new C13 drive chain is a fundamental element of the Ekar mechanical group.
In addition to an efficient drive system, the drive chain must function perfectly in the gravel discipline to contribute to smooth and fast gear changes, always ensuring maximum safety. It also needs to be robust and durable, and the Ekar C13 drive chain excels on all fronts. With a width of only 4.9 mm, the C13 drive chain is 0.25 mm narrower than Campagnolo's 12-speed drive chain, but offers exactly the same high performance and long life, characteristics recognized in all Campagnolo drive chains. The C13 drive chain combines effectively with the special profile toothing of the chainring of the 1x13-speed crankset and the Ekar sprockets for a safe, efficient and smooth drive system. Despite its narrow profile, the C13 drive chain is very robust; its C60 steel inner links with nickel Teflon surface treatment withstand the highest rate of wear to which they are subjected on gravel tracks. The entire drive chain, manufactured at the Campagnolo factory in Vicenza, undergoes an exclusive lubrication process with an ultrasonic bath system that guarantees that the special lubrication formula covers all the links deeply and uniformly. The result is efficient operation and high load capacity, ensuring longevity and requiring less maintenance even in difficult terrain conditions.
The Ekar-C13 drive chain is available in two locking versions: with the classic Campagnolo pin or with the new C-Link™ for even easier disassembly and cleaning. The two versions have been designed to provide the versatility needed to meet the globally diverse needs of all types of gravel use. Whether you are a pure gravel rider, participate in long-distance endurance races, or enjoy the all-road experience, you will enjoy the same endurance and efficiency in both versions by using the same materials and processes.
