Campagnolo

Chorus 11 Cassette

A clean chain shifting crisply across a new cassette sounds like a finely tuned choral performance, to certain ears, which means the smooth, confidence-inspiring Campagnolo Chorus 11 Cassette is the Vienna Boys Choir of bike components. That's not to say that it'll cost as much as a trip to Austria; while the Chorus 11 features the same tooth shaping, spacing, and Ultra Shift technology as Campagnolo's titanium Super Record 11 and Record 11, it's made of chrome-plated steel, which saves you a significant chunk of change. Steel's more durable too, so the Chorus 11 will last longer than either of the other two, and it adds only a minimal amount of weight—56g more than the Super Record—so it's perfect for all but the weeniest of weight weenies. As the finishing touch, Campagnolo employs a lightweight alloy lockring that holds it all together.
