Selected Cofidis riders, including the teams Tour de France squad last season, raced the system to help complete final development and raceday validation. That collaborative loop continues into 2026 as Campagnolo sharpens the platform under WorldTour stress.Being once again alongside Team Cofidis is a great source of pride for us, said Campagnolo, underscoring the brands belief that direct feedback from athletes accelerates meaningful innovation for both pros and enthusiasts.What Super Record 13 promises on the roadCampagnolo says Super Record 13 delivers smoother gear progression, tighter cadence control and consistently precise shifting even when the race is at its most chaoticwhile preserving the trademark ergonomics, braking control and safety that define the brands halo groupsets. In short: less fumbling for the right gear, more flow when the speed is on.Crucially, this isnt a onetrick, proonly drivetrain. The architecture has been built as a modular ecosystem from the outset, spanning road, allroad and gravel in both 2 and 1 configurations. The aim? One shifting philosophy across multiple terrains, without compromising precision or efficiency.Tech highlights at a glance213 gearing: worldfirst road platform brought to market, designed for closer steps and smoother cadence control at race speed.Racevalidated: deployed by select Cofidis ridersincluding the Tour de France squadin 2025 to complete final development and validation.Ecosystem approach: modular architecture covering road, allroad and gravel, with both 2 and 1 setups to match modern riding styles.Fast wheels to match: Bora ULTRA WTOCofidis will complete the package with Bora ULTRA WTO wheels in 45mm and 60mm depths.

If Campagnolos claims translate beyond the WorldTour, expect more seamless shifting under load and a calmer, more controlled feeling in the bars when the hammer drops.For everyday riders, the modular platform hints at a future where your race bike, endurance rig and gravel weapon share a common shifting DNA. Thats good for familiarity, and potentially for maintenance and spares, too.The bigger pictureFounded in Vicenza in 1933, Campagnolos legacy runs through countless drivetrain firsts. The renewed Cofidis deal signals that the Italian marque is pressing the advantage with Super Record 13, using the WorldTour as a rolling lab while bringing the tech straight to enthusiasts. With the 2026 season now underway, watch for Cofidis to lean on those 13 ratios when the gradients bite and the speed surges.
