One rear derailleur. 13 gears Infinite possibilities.
Elegance meets technical perfection: The high-quality carbon crankset immediately catches the eye and, in combination with the Ekar gravel rear derailleur, ensures unrivalled performance: 13 gears, mechanical shifting, no front derailleur and an incredible range for your longest and most intensive gravel adventures.
Lightweight carbon wheels for gravel use
With their elegant mirror finish and a slim 1500 g on the scales, the Campagnolo Levante carbon wheels are a real feast for the eyes and packed with sophisticated details. With an inner rim width of 25 mm, they are also specially optimised for gravel use. Light, stiff, reliable and, thanks to the fast Terra Speed 40 mm tyres from Continental, a weapon on both gravel and asphalt.
Road bike handlebar with long-distance qualities
The Ritchey Butano drop bar handlebar offers numerous grip positions and puts you in an aerodynamic position, just like on a road bike. The shorter drop and wide handlebar ends, on the other hand, ensure more control off-road and a more back-friendly posture on long distances. The ergonomically shaped shift/brake levers of the Ekar group also contribute to this.
The Backroad EKAR 1x13 is a fast all-rounder with racing genes that exudes the gravel spirit with every single carbon fibre.
With the mechanical 1x13 drivetrain, the built-in Campagnolo Ekar groupset manages to combine fine gear steps and a wide range with the shifting comfort of a single speed crank like no other. In addition to the frame and fork, the seat post, crank and wheels are also made of carbon. The latter were specially designed by Campagnolo for gravel use and are fitted with the fast and lightweight Continental Terra Speed tyres in 40 mm width.
The bottom line for the Backroad Ekar is not only a record-breaking 8.2 kg, but also optimum stiffness values and damping properties. The best conditions for long days with plenty of kilometres.
More long distance | Endurance
Flex is fun: The deep cut-out in the seat tube provides a massive increase in comfort, while the balanced frame geometry offers perfect handling on the road, gravel and technical terrain. Only a dry throat can stop you.
More off-road | Action
The frame and fork allow for a tyre width of up to 45 mm with 700c and up to 47 mm with 650b wheels. For rougher road conditions, perfectly adapted protectors at the down tube and chainstays protect the paint.
More experience | Adventure
Thanks to its many attachment points for bottle cages, Anything Cages or bags, the Backroad offers ultimate versatility, perfect for a day trip or bikepacking adventures.

This category applies to bicycles and e-bikes⁶ that meet the conditions of category 1 and are ridden on normal roads as well as in category 2 on unpaved roads and gravel paths with moderate inclines and descents. The tyres are in constant contact with the ground at average speed and they are only occasionally ridden over steps and drops of less than 15 cm. These conditions can lead to contact with uneven terrain and the tyre repeatedly losing contact with the ground. The intended use is, for example, recreational riding. You don’t require any special riding skills.
