The Record 13 front derailleur handles the front half of Campagnolo's 13-speed flagship wireless ecosystem, pairing with the Record 13 Ergopower levers and matching rear derailleur to form a complete electronic group. It sits one tier below Super Record 13 in the Italian brand's hierarchy — same wireless protocol, same shift logic, same 13-speed compatibility. What changes between Record and Super Record at the front derailleur is hardware finish and a small weight delta, not function.

The shifting itself is what Campagnolo calls semi-automatic trim. When you shift the rear derailleur across the cassette, the front derailleur cage micro-adjusts on its own to keep the chain quiet — no manual trim button, no clicking the lever to silence chain rub in the extreme gears. That's a meaningful quality-of-life feature on a 13-speed drivetrain where the chain line sweeps across a wider cassette than older 11- and 12-speed groups.

Mounting is braze-on, and that's the only option Campagnolo offers for this derailleur — there's no clamp version and no clamp adapter in the Record 13 catalog. If your frame uses a band-on tab, you'll need a separate braze-on adapter to mount this unit. The cage shape is built around Campagnolo's narrower-than-Shimano chainline and the Record 13 chainring profiles. Pairing it with chainrings from another brand or another Campagnolo generation isn't supported, and the trim logic won't track correctly across the cassette.... Read More
