Campagnolo was the first to bring a 10-speed rear cluster to the road world, then came 11, now it's once again the first to the punch offering 12-speeds. The Record 12 Ergopower Shifters are not only refined for that extra cog, it allows for a wider range without disrupting your cadence with large jumps between the sprockets and it now provides two different lever positions allowing you to adjust the levers to your personal preference and hand size. What wasn't lost on this new shifter is its trademark, dedicated up and downshift levers for positive gear changes in either direction, and its use of Ultra-Shift, providing multiple-cog shifting capacity allowing you to dump up to three harder gears in the sprint and upshift five cogs at a time for easier pedaling while going into the base of a climb hot.

The pebbly texture underneath the hoods, as well as the groove channels at the top, provide plenty of grip and traction with or without gloves and it didn't matter if it was r...
