More about 2009 Campy

So, from what we've been able to gather, 11spd Super Record has been in the works for a while. The Campagnolo engineers have been working on it & perfecting it for the past 3 years.

There will be three 11spd gruppos: Chorus, Record, & Super Record.
The initial gram counts:
  • Super Record is freakishly light at ~1970gm
  • 2009 Record is ~2015gm
  • 2009 Chorus is ~2150gm

Super Record & Record will both have ceramic bearings throughout. All 11spd gruppos will have a 4 year warranty (instead of the current 3 year warranty).
Super Record will have limited availability beginning in the middle of September and increased availability into October.

Centaur & Veloce will remain 10spd. There are some rumors that Campagnolo may be releasing some additional new gruppos at Interbike, but as the rumors have not been confirmed, we may have to wait until Interbike.
