Functionally, it’s the identical efficiency because the shiny unique Tremendous Report Wi-fi, simply in a extra accessible bundle. So now Campagnolo Tremendous Report S delivers in a extra stealthy matte carbon end, with barely simplified building in a number of key locations, and an added bonus of a number of new gearing choices – each simpler and more durable to go well with amateurs and racers alike!
Campagnolo Tremendous Report S Wi-fi matte 2×12 groupset
This new Campagnolo Tremendous Report S Wi-fi gruppo is every thing final summer season’s Tremendous Report Wi-fi was, and extra.
Extra, as in 150g extra, extra gearing choices, and extra money left in your pockets on the finish of the day.
Frankly, I’m not fully certain why this isn’t simply known as a Campy Report Wi-fi groupset, as that’s clearly what it appears like. Possibly it’s merely nonetheless too costly to not have Tremendous written throughout it?
Anyway, there’s loads of excellent news for Campagnolo fans right here, to not fear about semantics.
Campagnolo’s SR S WRL highlights
Campy primarily focuses on two fundamental ‘evolutions’ of the brand new Tremendous Report S Wi-fi groupset – extra gearing mixtures and a brand new “elegant matt black” matte carbon end. That final one may be aimed toward attracting each new Campy followers, and extra OEM spec?
Campagnolo give Tremendous Report S Wi-fi six chainring mixtures in a bid to “meet the wants of cyclists of all ranges”. The unique sub-compact 45/29T, 48/32T & 50/34T combos designed to work with the smaller 10-tooth cog out again carry over. However now that add three bigger combos for riders in search of larger top-end velocity – new 52/36T, 53/39T & 54/39T. These are some huge gear ratios when paired with the smaller cassette, and sure solely one thing elite racers and professionals would want. However then once more, loads of Campy followers are traditionalists, and maybe they only wished a extra classic-looking chainset?
On the identical time going sooner up entrance, the brand new Campy Tremendous Report S will get simpler within the again. The smallest, tightest Tremendous Report cassette doesn’t make it to Tremendous Report S. As a substitute, a brand new simpler 11-32T 12-speed cassette possibility will get added to the 10-27T & 10-29T cassettes. That gives solely incrementally wider vary, however does imply noticeably simpler gear ratios with the sub-compact crank. Or the flexibility to run a much bigger chainring combo with out sacrificing climbing capacity.
What else is new?
However simply as a lot as that is about including new options, the actual motive for S is to deliver the price of Tremendous Wi-fi all the way down to make it extra aggressive price-wise with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 and SRAM Purple AXS – each of that are nonetheless virtually 1/3 cheaper than this. So to deliver Campy Wi-fi nearer into attain, the Italians have simplified materials building in loads of locations with out making many actual sacrifices…
The largest shift is within the new Campagnolo Tremendous Report S crankset that drops the extra complicated hole building for easier stable carbon crank arms, which does add some weight. However the crankset’s general shaping with the carbon stiffeners, and uneven 4-bolt BCD keep the identical. The additional benefit right here, that the brand new greater chainring choices for Tremendous Report S are cross-compatible with the unique Tremendous Report Wi-fi cranks.
Up entrance, the Ergopower brake levers additionally get carbon simplification. The physique, hoods & shift buttons seem unchanged, however the carbon lever blades ditch the 2 further weight-saving cutouts, simply leaving the outlet for lever attain regulate.
Out again, the brand new rear derailleur additionally will get simplified, with reshaped structural ribs & fewer cutouts in its hyperlinks, and a way more fundamental virtually flat shaping for the outer pulley cage. Presumably, that cage can be a bit longer to now deal with a 32T cog on the larger cassette.
Paired to that, the entrance derailleur appears functionally the identical, besides that Tremendous Report’s carbon outer plate is changed with matte black metal for this Tremendous Report S.
What stays the identical?
Functionally, all of the wi-fi digital, and hydraulic tech is strictly the identical. Meaning the detachable derailleur batteries are unchanged for ongoing cross-compatibility. They nonetheless have the easy-to-identify LEDs to indicate battery state of cost. Plus, the connectivity to the MyCampy 3.0 app for button customization and extra detailed stats stay the identical.
Plus, the matte Campagnolo Tremendous Report S energy meter crankset appears equivalent to the HPPM Tremendous Report energy meter that we noticed debut this previous spring after sneaking a peek at its prototype being raced in cyclocross.
And naturally, the wonderful Campy brakes & adjustable ergonomics fortunately stay untouched, too.
Campagnolo Tremendous Report S – Pricing, choices & availability
That is nonetheless a Tremendous Report stage groupset made fully in Europe, so we didn’t anticipate to see really reasonably priced pricing. However in comparison with final 12 months’s wi-fi debut, there’s actual financial savings right here of over 20% for an entire group.
The brand new Campagnolo Tremendous Report S Wi-fi gruppo retails for $4300 / 3990€, and is obtainable now in restricted numbers. That’s a discount of $1100/1200€ vs. common Tremendous Report Wi-fi, with the added gearing choices and the one actual compromise being 150g further weight.
Matching matte Bora wheels, too!
And in case you are build up a brand new bike with a Campagnolo Tremendous Report S gruppo and wish to get all matchy-matchy, Campy has some equally matte aero carbon Bora WTO wheels to go along with it. The one factor new vs. the usual version wheels is the matte carbon end.
However curiously sufficient, Campagnolo really needed to work more durable on these to get them to match, since their exact polished molds yield a shiny floor with out further ending work. So whereas Tremendous Report S is 20% cheaper, these matte Boras are 2-6% dearer than the Boras that simply received wider, lighter & extra aero at first of this 12 months.
Up to now we’ve solely seen 45mm deep variations of the 23mm inside Bora Extremely WTO Matt Version wheels for $4150 / 3800€ or the common Bora WTO Matt Version wheels for $2950 / 2700€. However Campagnolo formally calls these beginning costs for the 2025 mannequin 12 months, suggesting there could also be 35mm & 60mm deep variations, as nicely.
