Rumors Next Generation Campagnolo Road?
Moderator: robbosmans
Camapgnolo has always been the first to release an extra cog (9-speed, 10-speed, 11-speed, 12-speed) as far as I know.
Mixed set-ups in the peloton have always been the case when an extra cog was released and the other 2 big component makers didn's follow.
Nothing new here.

Campagnolo just updated their website. Quick scan - SR EPS and Centaur are gone. Zonda and Calima wheels are gone as well.

That's a shame. Zondas were my favourite budget rim brake wheelset.

And that gives me hope that Shimano might continue to offer rim brake DI2 options. There's not really any need to develop rim brake shifters any more anyway. They have reached their developmental end, I would think.gorkypl wrote: ↑Mon May 29, 2023 2:37 pm...and both of them are essentially rebadged 11s shifters+ callipers.ultimobici wrote: ↑Mon May 29, 2023 2:31 pmShimano have not discontinued rim brake at all. Both Dura Ace and Ultegra are offered in rim brake.
Zonda gone?? I loved the brand ever since I saw the Record OR in some mountain bike mailorder catalog as a boy and I've never owned a road bike with a non-campag groupset (and the OEM wheels were soon replaced), but dropping a well respected product like that only because it does not fit their cycling componentry Luis Vuitton self-image, wow. Almost as if they saw kindness in making it easy to say goodbye.
Fulcrum surely makes enough wheels to cover the Zonda. Has Campagnolo introduced any newer low end wheelsets?

If you want Zonda rim brake wheels, Condor have almost 100 pairs in stock across ED & HG versions. Campag have not deleted them from their b2b either. You can still order Shamal Ultra too.usr wrote:Zonda gone??

I just hope that the Zonda's are soon replaced with a C21+ version with cup/cone bearings, G3, momag rims and N3W body. That would be the perfect training wheel for me. I'm considering the Racing 3's, but C19 is a bit on the narrow side.
