Campagnolo EPS Athena 11sp Road Front Derailleur 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 Derailleurs. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Campagnolo EPS Athena 11sp Road Front Derailleur.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Campagnolo EPS Athena 11sp Road Front Derailleur 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 Derailleurs. 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 Derailleurs. 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 Derailleurs 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 EPS Athena 11sp Road Front Derailleur A powerful punch in a tiny package. Boasting an optimised design and driven by the highest quality motors available today, the front derailleur moves the chain precisely in all conditions, even under strain. The result is a derailing speed like nothing you’ve ever seen before, with the chain shifting up and down from one chainring to the next with truly astonishing speed and precision. The Campagnolo EPS drivetrain is an organic set of mechanical and electronic components that work together in an integrated way to guarantee maximum performance. In particular, the EPS derailleur interacts with the mechanical chainset and enhances the elevated derailleur speed and precision made possible with X.P.S.S. technology. The 8 special upward zones and 2 downward zones for the chainrings associated to the speed and precision of the new EPS derailleur guarantee top performance. Campagnolo EPS Athena Front Derailleur 11sp Features: HIGH TORQUE, HIGH DRIVE RATIO MOTORS: Campagnolo has used the world’s best electric motors for this application. These units ensure effective shifting even under strain, deliver the same performance time after time and make extremely fast, precise shifts possible. POSITION SENSOR: with the "Magnetic Hall Sensor Resolver™", the front derailleur always moves the chain automatically into the ideal position for the selected sprocket/chainring. FRONT DERAILLEUR BODY IN MONOLITHIC CARBON POWDER TECHNOPOLYMER: for maximum lightness and superlative stiffness. NEW INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL DERAILLER CAGE DESIGN, WITH ALUMINIUM CONSTRUCTION: a design optimised for the EPS™ drivetrain for maximised lightness and stiffness. Extreme derailing speed and precision even under strain. 100% WATERPROOF: all the components of the front derailleur are built to operate in any weather conditions in compliance with the IP67 standard. Weight: 149g Bottom Pull Campagnolo EPS Athena Front Derailleur 11sp Technologies: AUTO REPOSITIONING: The DTI (Digital Tech Intelligence) receives impulses from the controls through the interface that communicates with the sensor placed inside the derailleur, which indicates its position at all times. Depending on the sprocket that has been selected with the controls, the EPS re-positions the derailleur to optimise its position with respect to the chain. This allows chain crossovers that are not optimal in traditional systems. It performs 2 corrections upward and downward. EPS – WATERPROOF-IP 67 COMPLIANT: The Campagnolo EPS electronic drivetrain complies with IP67 international standards. This means that the system is able to protect its electronic components from dust and liquid infiltration. In order to achieve the IP67 classification, all the electronic components of the EPS system underwent a series of tests, which proved their ability to function perfectly under one meter of water for at least 30 minutes. WARNING – All connection, installation, removal and adjustment operations of the EPS drivetrain must only be carried out by a Campagnolo Service Center, a Campagnolo Pro Shopor a mechanic specializing in the installation of EPS systems. Any Tampering with or incorrect or incomplete installation of any part of the EPS system will automatically void the warranty.
