The Record X redefines gravel shifting, delivering unprecedented precision, speed, and silence even on the most demanding terrain. A compact design, advanced technologies, and carefully selected materials combine to ensure outstanding performance in all conditions.
The fully redesigned cage enables compatibility with cassettes up to 48 teeth, expanding capability for off-road riding. Extended range, fast charging, and smart connectivity complete a system specifically engineered for gravel, meeting the needs of the most demanding riders.
One of the most significant developments of the 13 platform, for both Record and Super Record 13, is its gravel-specific evolution: the "X" rear derailleur. Built on the same technical architecture as the Super Record 2x13 derailleur, it redefines shifting performance even on the roughest terrain. Thanks to an optimised derailleur path, it delivers smooth, fast, and immediate gear transitions, even under high pressure on the pedals, maximising efficiency across the entire cassette range.
The key distinguishing feature compared to the road version is the Nano Clutch, a miniaturised clutch that maintains optimal chain tension on uneven terrain and rough descents, preventing chain drops from the front chainring and ensuring maximum stability. Combined with the dedicated 1x chainring tooth profile, the Nano Clutch forms a system specifically engineered to minimise chain drops even in the most demanding conditions. The architecture, with the rear derailleur positioned beneath the cassette, delivers a cleaner aesthetic, improved aerodynamics, and perfect alignment between pulleys and gear ratios. The result is quieter, more precise, and more reliable shifting.
Despite similar size and weight to the road version, Record X offers category-leading impact resistance and cage stiffness. Efficiency is further enhanced by two differentiated pulleys: the upper 12-tooth eccentric pulley maintains optimal chain distance even with large cassettes, while the oversized 16-tooth lower pulley improves chain engagement and smoothness. Both feature a profile designed to guide each link precisely, ensuring continuous and efficient chain flow. Another key feature is the cage geometry, with an extended body cage compatible with cassettes up to 48 teeth, ideal for tackling the steepest climbs. The crankset has also been optimised for gravel use, retaining Ultra-Torque technology with a 47.5mm chainline, perfect for modern frames and increased tyre clearance.
The derailleur features a universal mounting design, compatible with both UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) and traditional hangers. It is powered by a removable battery with a range of up to 750km and ultra-fast charging: just 60 minutes are needed to reach full capacity. Battery status can be easily monitored via the integrated LED, the MyCampy app, or compatible cycle computers. The USB-C connector ensures full compatibility with modern devices, including smartphones that can be used as power banks in emergency situations. The charging system and cable are shared across the entire 13 platforms.
The design also reflects Campagnolo's excellence: the front section of the cage is made of carbon with a direct-from-mould finish, while anodised aluminium components with tone-on-tone details and the refined branding highlight the brand’s attention to detail. The result is smooth, fast, precise, and silent shifting even in the most extreme conditions. Additionally, thanks to compatibility with road 1x cranksets featuring a 45.8mm chainline, the X derailleur enables single-chainring road setups with one of the widest gear ranges available on the market.
