EXCEL SPORTS BOULDER

It is nice to see Campagnolo continue to offer 10-speed levers to their customer base and not completely disbanding 10 speed for the now-standard 11-speed technology. The "Red" version features subtle but classy red-colored details on the front of the brake lever and red-anodized hardware to up the ante in terms of aesthetics. Campagnolo gives 10-speed users some of the upgrades of the newer groups as these 10-speed levers have improved Ergonomics and brake lever shape for precise control with several hand positions. Also added are the Vari-cushion hoods for improved padding of variable thickness where it is required. All in all a great upgrade if you want the new style ErgoLever on an older 10-speed drivetrain.

It is evident that Campagnolo has put serious thought into improving their Ergo Brake/Shift levers. Campagnolo has tweaked the shape of the levers to both provide more room for the fingers but with a shorter reach. The Vari-Cushion™ hoods feature different softness in different areas. They have excellent shape memory, UV stability and wide temperature stability. The No-Bulge™ cable housing routing provides better comfort and avoids uncomfortable bulges where the hands are placed. The Powershift™ mechanism allow upshifting by up to three cogs and downshifting by one with a single action.
