The C13 chain stands as a crucial component within the Ekar mechanical groupset, playing a pivotal role in ensuring a seamless and efficient drive during gravel riding. 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.
The 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.
The Ekar C13 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.
