Campagnolo has announced Super Record S Wireless a new Special Edition version of its flagship road bike groupset, Super Record Wireless.The new groupset offers a wider range of gearing choices at a very competitive price of 3,526 / $4,299 / 3,990.The Italian brand says this lower price was achieved by a more moderate use of extreme materials and a solid, instead of hollow, carbon crankset. Campagnolo claims this adds only 150g to the overall groupset weight.The groupset also debuts a matt black finish, with a new range of Matt Edition Bora WTO and Bora Ultra WTO wheels to match.A cheaper but not cheap Super Record WirelessCampagnolo Super Record S Wireless groupsetIn the midst of tough economic times across much of the world, many cyclists have been crying out for more value-focused bikes and gear.In recent years, though, Campagnolo has shifted further towards catering for those shopping at the high end of the road market, phasing out its cheaper electronic road bike groupsets such as Record and Chorus EPS.The Italian brand retains lower-priced mechanical road bike groupsets in its line-up, but with todays road bikes being increasingly focused on electronics and integration, these have faded in popularity with mainstream brands.When it launched Super Record Wireless (4,499 / $5,399 / 5,200) last year, though, Campagnolo noted it had always trickled its flagship technology down to lower-priced groupsets.The derailleurs look almost identical to existing Super Record Wireless ones.With Super Record S Wireless, then, we finally have that although, at 3,526 / $4,299 / 3,990, its perhaps not as cheap as many Campagnolo fans were hoping.In comparison, Shimanos and SRAMs second-tier electronic road bike groupsets Ultegra Di2 R8100 and Force AXS cost 2,328 / $2,400 and 1,728 / $2,176 / 1,952 respectively, at full RRP.In fact, Super Record S Wireless is about as expensive as Shimano and SRAMs flagship road groupsets, Dura-Ace Di2 R9200 and Red AXS.At RRP, those cost roughly 3,600 / $4,300 / 3,460 and 4,090 / $4,090 / 4,135 respectively.Of course, RRPs and real-world prices often differ greatly, so well have to wait and see how bikes specced with Super Record S Wireless end up being priced on shop floors.A little more weightCampagnolo Super Record S Wireless shifterPrice aside, the headline changes come in terms of a small amount of added weight and an expanded range of gear options.As previously noted, Campagnolo says Super Record S Wireless is 150g heavier than a standard Super Record Wireless groupset. This is due to the use of slightly cheaper materials and solid, rather than hollow, carbon cranks.Super Record Wireless weighs 2,518g for a complete groupset (without a power meter), so a Super Record S Wireless groupset should weigh around 2,670g.The Campagnolo Super Record S Wireless crankset uses a solid, rather than hollow, construction.At the time of writing, we dont have individual component weights, so its not clear whether the increases are concentrated in a few parts or spread out more evenly across the groupset.As with pricing, this puts Super Record S Wireless somewhere in between the flagship and second-tier groupsets from Shimano and SRAM.The Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 R9200 groupset we tested, for example, weighed 2,579g (including a power meter and bottom bracket), while the latest SRAM Red AXS weighed 2,548g in an equivalent configuration.In contrast, Shimanos Ultegra Di2 R8100 groupset weighs 2,824g without a power meter and SRAMs Force AXS groupset weighs 2,922g with its integrated power meter spider.
