| Price: | $900 |
| Weight: | 595 grams |
Super Record is of course, Campagnolo's top end gruppo. As you may have guessed, this means that all the stops have been pulled out to create the 11 speed Super Record Ultra-Torque compact crank. This is a component for those that appreciate the highest of the high end.
At 585 grams, this crank is ridiculously light. It's also ridiculously expensive and will set you back around $900. That kind of money gets you things like a titanium spindle that maintains the strength of a steel spindle, but is 25% lighter. Unidirectional, hollow carbon crank arms ensure maximum power transfer and the chainrings have been engineered with what Campagnolo calls the eXtreme Shifting Performance System. The XPSS system is characterized by 8 pins on the big chainring to lift the chain quicker and smoother.

No high-end crankset would be complete without the inclusion of ceramic bearings. Campy loves acronyms when it comes to labeling technology, and the ceramic Super Record bearings are called CULT (Ceramic Ultimate Level Technology). All this means is that these bearings are harder and rounder that most. The harder and more round a bearing is, the more durable and efficient it is.
No one can describe the Campagnolo Super Record compact crankset as a value, but Campy enthusiasts who need to have the latest and greatest in lightweight bike component tech, will most definitely gravitate toward it. Super Record 11 is available with 50/34 or 53/39 rings and riders have the choice of 170, 172.5, and 175mm crank-arm lengths.
