You can now control Zwift directly from your Campagnolo groupset
If youre a fan of a clean cockpit, Campagnolos new firmware update may well be of interest to you.Campagnolo revealed today that the latest update means you can use the shifters of your Record or Super Record groupsets to change gear in Zwift.By connecting a Platform 13 groupset to a compatible smart trainer, riders can use their Ergopower levers to control virtual shifting, bringing a familiar Campagnolo experience to indoor training, Campagnolo said.That means you dont need to clutter up your handlebar with a Zwift controller and can retain the same shifting quality of the electronic groupsets.Ready in three steps The firmware update means you don't have to fit a Zwift Controller to your cockpit. Zwift Campagnolo outlines three steps for setting up the new feature.You should first attach a Zwift Cog to your turbo trainer and set it up correctly.Then, you should download the new firmware (3.1.16 version) on the MyCampy app and activate the groupset. Campagnolo says you should ideally place the rear derailleur in the fifth or sixth gear or the one that best fits your Zwift Cog setting and riding style.Finally, you should log in to your Zwift account and pair the groupset by selecting Controls.Once paired with Zwift, the groupset will switch from outdoor to indoor: the rear derailleur will stop operating in the conventional way, and the Ergopower controls interact directly with Zwift, Campagnolo explains.From there you should be good to go, and you can use the shifters just as you would when riding outdoors.This new meeting of mechanical innovation and the digital world will be on display at Rouleur Live, which opens on Thursday.Campagnolo launched Record 13 in April this year and Warren Rossiter said it couldnt have come soonerbecause it meant the troubled brand had a direct competitor to Shimano Ultegra and SRAM Force. Last year, Campagnolo restructured after reports of staff redundancies. In September, an investment group with ties to Pinarello bought a minority stake in Campagnolo.
