Founded in 1933 by Tullio Campagnolo, the quintessentially Italian cycling brand began after Campagnolo himself conceived a number of innovations while racing. Such ideas included the humble quick release and the derailleur, which we take for granted today. Campagnolo’s continual desire to improve and innovate cemented the company as one of the pioneers in the sport.
Today, Campagnolo hold their position as an aspirational, premium brand, manufacturing a range of road and time-trial components, namely groupsets and wheelsets, as well as a collection of performance-orientated clothing.

Campagnolo’s rich Italian history and its aesthetic panache aren’t the only reasons behind the brand’s loyal following, there are a number of features that help to set Campagnolo groupsets apart from its competition, and create a loyal following worldwide.

For example, the Ergopower shifters’ hood shape is ergonomically designed with Varicushion technology, which offers all-day comfort, channelling water away to provide a secure hold. The shape of these shifters is one of Campagnolo’s distinctive features that loyalists adore about their groupsets. In addition, Campagnolo groupsets use a separate thumb actuated lever to change gear down to a smaller sprocket. Unlike its competitors, Campagnolo’s Ultra-Shift models provide the ability to shift through multiple sprockets both up (five) and down (three) with a single throw of the respective-lever, while the more budget-minded Power-Shift models facilitate a three-sprocket upshift and a single-sprocket downshift. With EPS models, this multi-shift function is adjustable via the MyCampy app, enabling as many shifts as you desire via a simple press-and-hold actuation.
For the 2019 season, Campagnolo are sponsors to WorldTour teams Lotto Soudal, Movistar Team and UAE Team Emirates, as well as ProContinental teams Cofidis, Bardiani CSF, Gazprom-Rusvelo and Nippo-Vini Fantini-Faizane.
