Its significance extends to facilitating smooth, quick gear shifts while maintaining steadfast security. The Ekar C13 chain excels in strength and durability, boasting a mere 4.9mm width—0.25mm narrower than the highly efficient Campagnolo 12-speed chain. Despite this narrower profile, the C13 chain upholds the renowned high performance and durability associated with Campagnolo chains.\u003c\/p\u003e \n \n\u003cp\u003eThe C13 chain's compatibility is optimized through effective mating with the wide-narrow teeth design found in Ekar's 1x13-speed chainrings and cassette sprockets. This synergy results in a positive, efficient, and low-friction drive, enhanced by a robust construction that prioritizes high security. The C13 chain's strength is attributed to its C60 steel inner links, treated with a Nickel-Teflon surface to withstand elevated rates of wear. These links are meticulously connected to the high tensile strength C67 NiCrMo2 steel outer links, featuring a Nickel surface treatment to endure greater mechanical stresses. Crafted at Campagnolo’s dedicated facility in Vicenza, the entire chain undergoes a unique lubrication process involving an ultrasound bath system. This process ensures the deep and even application of a special lubricant formula across every link, promoting efficient operation and high resilience. The result is a chain that thrives in off-road riding conditions, requiring less demanding maintenance while offering longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e \n \n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEkar C13\u003c\/strong\u003e chain is presented in two options: the Campagnolo Classic with the pin or the innovative C-Link™ for enhanced removal and cleaning convenience. This diversity caters to the varied needs of gravel riders worldwide, whether they are engaged in gravel racing, embarking on long-distance endurance rides, or enjoying the versatility of all-road riding. Both versions maintain the same strength, efficiency, and quality materials, providing riders with additional choices to suit their preferences and riding styles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Campagnolo","offers":[{"title":"Bicycle Chain","offer_id":44163907026986,"sku":"CN25-EK13ML23","price":81.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/cyclesy.cc\/products\/campagnolo-ekar-gt-13-speed-c-link-chain-w-123-links-connecting-link","provider":"Cyclesy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
