Is 13spd mechanical good for gravel? Campagnolo Ekar GT tested at FoCo Fondo

Years before SRAM rolled out a 13spd gravel group, Campagnolo introduced its Ekar group, a 13spd mechanical option. Now the Italian brand has a slightly cheaper, slightly heavier version called Ekar GT. How does it work? I took a Basso Palta with the group to FoCo Fondo to find out. In this video I compare it to the other gravel groups out there on the market in a similar price range. 🚴🏽💨 Buy a Nowhere Fast cap: https://www.theride.bike/store/p/the-ride-cycling-cap 🎥 📸 🙏 Thanks to Brian Co, Tyler Phillips and Chris Stuart for the media. -- THE RIDE IS SUPPORTED IN 2024 BY: Castelli clothing: http://tinyurl.com/43k6pftp Perc Coffee: https://tinyurl.com/etzyekwr (save 15% with code 'ride15') Giro helmets: http://tinyurl.com/72svzzxp Silca maintenance: https://bit.ly/47xxvzj (save 10% with code 'theride') First Endurance nutrition: https://bit.ly/41SDgqq (save 20% with code 'THERIDE') Shimano shoes & glasses: http://tinyurl.com/ye274tep Feedback Sports stands & tools: https://bit.ly/3S9Dq8r -- CHAPTERS 0:00 intro 1:50 hats! 2:15 FoCo Fondo 5:00 chugability 5:52 Ekar GT 10:10 price, weight comparisons 11:48 Basso Palta 15:10 Ultradynamico Cava 18:23 Zonda GT
