Campagnolo Centaur Ultra Torque 11 Speed Chainset features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Cranksets. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Campagnolo Centaur Ultra Torque 11 Speed Chainset.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Campagnolo Centaur Ultra Torque 11 Speed Chainset is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Cranksets. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Cranksets. Brands like Campagnolo are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Cranksets category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

• Description: Campagnolo Centaur Ultra Torque 11 Speed ChainsetCampagnolo Centaur Ultra Torque ChainsetThe Campagnolo Centaur Ultra Torque chainset brings top-end features and technologies to the masses. Featuring the same four-arm spider as seen on Campagnolo’s “Super Record” model, the Centaur has the extra strength where it’s most needed, ensuring excellent rigidity for efficient gear shifts, sprinting, and climbing. It’s also very versatile, as if you want to change from a 50/34t to a 53/36t or vice-versa, there’s no need to change the entyre chainset as the spider is compatible with either chainring combination.Smooth PerformanceThe Centaur’s chainrings have a special anti-friction coating to encourage smooth chain operation. The chainrings also feature Campagnolo’s “MPS” technology, which enables quick and accurate shifts no matter how hard your pushing and in all weather conditions. Also, thanks to the use of the “Ultra Torque” bottom bracket system, you’ll enjoy consistent, rigid performance and optimised power transfer.Features:Material: Aluminium (crank arms/chainrings), Steel (integrated axle)Speed: 2x11Bolt Circle: 112/145mmBottom bracket cups not includedRecommended Chain: Campagnolo 11-speedAxle Profile: Ultra-Torque – integrated axleWeight: Approx. 875g (170mm crank arm length without BB cups)Technologies: MPS (Micro Precision Shifting System):¬†Optimised design of the up-shift and down-shift zones and of the¬†profile of the teeth – enables fast and precise shifting in all types of¬†conditions. 8 chain upshifting areas and 2 chain downshifting areas result in faster and more precise shifting, even under stress. Ultra Torque System:¬†Six years after its introduction, this system is still considered the best performing chainset spindle in terms of stiffness, low weight and efficiency of power transmission. Campagnolo found a way to permanently conjoin the semi-axles of the bottom bracket to the respective chainset arms. This redesign made it possible to considerably reduce the lateral dimensions at the axle level and prevent annoying contact with the ankles when turning the pedals. Furthermore, despite the narrow side profile, Campagnolo has been able to position the bearings outside the bottom bracket shell, resulting in greater axle rigidity from the increased axle diameter.Buy¬†Campagnolo Components¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
