What exactly are groupsets? Should you pick Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo or other? Here’s your complete guide to this essential piece of kit for your bike.
Campagnolo’s racing credentials go back to the 1920s. Known variously as Campy (in the USA), Campag (in Great Britain), or Campa (in Germany and elsewhere), their components dominated the high-end cycling market for decades.
A groupset or gruppo (from the Italian for “group”, often misspelled grouppo) is a bicycle component manufacturer’s organized collection of mechanical parts. It generally refers to all of the components that make up a bicycle excluding the bicycle frame, fork, stem, wheels, tires, and rider contact points, such as the saddle and handlebars.
