Steady and sure, Campagnolo keep putting out new and improved product. For 2015 they will have a complete new SR, Record and Chorus mechanical line called Revolution 11+. On the one hand it's fantastic, who doesn't want a crisp new Campy group? But on the other it's a little bit of a burn when the new is not going to fly with the old. For many, longevity and the ability to repair worn parts is one of the biggest draws to Campagnolo.

The new 2015 mechanical groups are are quite a departure from the current crop and some of the components are not going to work with what you already have. See bellow.
Brake calipers and the chain are carried over and the rest of the components are redesigned from the ground up. Some of the 2014 and older stuff is going to work with the new Revolution 11 components which is a huge relief. The downside been the older chain rings and chains will only produce 2014 performance and negate any reason to upgrade a partial group.
Part of the new offering is a 11-29 cassette which appears to not be compatible with the 2014 rear derailleur and the 2014 mid and compact cranks. Bummer, given 11-29 on a mid compact crank is possibly the ultimate combination for the average roadie.
The new ErgoPower levers are not going to work with older derailleurs and the older Ergo levers will not work with the cool looking new derailleurs. So sticking to what you have or going all out seems to be the best option.
EPS is not going to see an update for some time, word is we can expect something in 2016 but for now we are going to offer the current EPS V2 electronic parts on the new 2015 mechanical drive. So upgraded crank and brakes are an option with a EPS V2 group or as an upgrade to an existing bike.
We still love the brand from Vicenza and as a Campagnolo Pro Shop we are here to help you take advantage of the beautiful new product they are delivering.
