TL;DR
The Super Record Wireless is Campagnolo’s flagship 13-speed wireless road groupset. Italian craftsmanship, the unique one-lever-per-side shift feel (one finger + thumb), and 13-speed gear range. $5,200 for the groupset (without crankset). Tested over 1,500 km across road.
Unboxing & Design
Campagnolo packaging is premium — each component in a custom-fitted box, the 13-speed chain and lock-ring included. The whole package has an "Italian luxury" feel that the other two brands don’t match.
Setup & Installation
Wireless setup is straightforward — pair the levers, FD, RD, and battery via the MyCampy app (free). The shift lever placement is different from Shimano / SRAM (one finger, one thumb per side, instead of two paddles per side), so first-time users need a day to adapt.
Real-World Data
13-speed range is wider than any 12-speed group: 9-32T (versus 10-33T for SRAM), so you get lower gearing and higher top speed in one cassette. Brake feel is slightly less modulated than Shimano — the bite point is sharper. Shift speed is comparable to SRAM but slower than Shimano Di2.
Long-Term Use
Super Record Wireless is the right answer for a Campagnolo loyalist or a rider who wants 13-speed and the unique Italian feel. Skip if you want the absolute fastest shift (Dura-Ace wins) or the most customizable wireless (Red AXS wins). The Italian craftsmanship is the main draw.
Competitor Comparison
Main competitors: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 R9200 (faster, cheaper, wired), SRAM Red eTap AXS (cheaper, more customizable, 12-speed only). None match the 13-speed range or the Italian feel.
Final Verdict
Super Record Wireless is the Rolls-Royce of groupsets — the price and feel match. Buy it if you’re a Campagnolo fan or want the unique 13-speed. Skip if you want the fastest shift or the most wireless convenience.

Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 R9200 Review - JoyVelo.com
Shift speed is about 30% faster than eTap AXS, brake feel is best-in-class, 12-speed wired Di2 with Synchronized Shift. The strongest wired groupset on the market today.
SRAM Red eTap AXS 2024 Review - JoyVelo.com
The convenience of wireless shifting + the industry’s fastest shift speed + customizable buttons (any button can control any action). Best wireless groupset for road bikes today.
Zipp 454 NSW 2024 Review - JoyVelo.com
Crosswind behavior is the 454 NSW’s standout. In a 25° crosswind (a straight crosswind), the 454 tracks noticeably better than the 858 NSW and the Reserve 52|63, with no measurable drag penalty at 0° yaw.
ENVE SES 6.7 Review - JoyVelo.com
Asymmetric design is most noticeable in two scenarios. First: in crosswinds, where the front wheel is the deeper 67 mm and the rear is the shallower 64 mm, which reduces side-force on the rear and keeps the bike more stable in gusts.
Bontrager Aeolus RSL 62 Review - JoyVelo.com
Trek’s in-house aero wheelset. 62 mm deep, hookless carbon, paired with the RSL hubs. Cheaper than Zipp and ENVE but with most of the performance.

Scott claims the Addict RC is the "lightest production climbing complete bike on the market" — 5.9 kg with lifetime warranty + lifetime service.
