The road bike groupsets are made up of the road bike cranks, the road derailleur, the road bike front derailleur, the road bike shifters.

Other of the best road bike groups are the SRAM Force, compatible with eleven or twelve speed SRAM transmissions. To buy road bike groupsets you must take into account if your transmission is Campagnolo, SRAM or Shimano. There are road bike groupsets that are electronic like the Shimano Dura Ace di2 road bike groupsets or the SRAM Red road bike groupsets that are also wireless and have bluetooth connections. Road bike groupsets are only compatible with each other with their own brands and not in all ranges, since some mid-range road bike groupsets are not compatible with high-end road bike groupsets.

We can find a mechanical version of the campagnolo road groupset and an electronic version of the campagnolo road groupset. The campagnolo road group only has a version for road bikes and does not have a range of campagnolo road groups for mountain bikes.

What road bike group to buy?

The word “group” refers to the mechanical or electronic part that makes up the transmission system of a bicycle. A complete bicycle group would be made up of: rear derailleur, wiring, derailleurs, crank, chainrings, cassette or rear sprocket, bottom bracket and chain. During any simple bike ride all of these components are going to be used constantly. During a ride in rainy, snowy, muddy conditions or simply on uneven terrain, an infinite number of changes are made, which makes the group wear out and requires a change or a set-up from time to time.

Advantages and disadvantages of each road bike group

If there is an important dilemma when choosing one or another bike, it is which group to choose or more importantly, which would be the right group for my road bike. There are three main brands among which we can squeeze our heads: Shimano, Campagnolo or Sram Deciding on one model or another is not easy and many times it will not be clear if it is really worth an extra financial effort to have a superior model. What will be the advantages and disadvantages of choosing one model or another.

Advantages Shimano road bike groupset

The Shimano transmission groups can be, together with the Campagnolo, the ones that offer the longest useful life. This is very favorable when it comes to tilting the balance to one side or the other. In addition, its maintenance is very easy and the replacement of components is not very complicated. It has a very intuitive double lever operation that is very comfortable and really agile. Shimano has very competitive prices, slightly higher than Sram's but also below Campagnolo's. They can be placed in the most famous brand of components for their quality-price.

Disadvantages Shimano road bike groupset

Shimano's drawbacks are minimal. On the one hand, the aesthetics are quite obsolete, having been established for several years with hardly any evident variations. It does not have a great finish on both the levers and the plates and the aerodynamics could also be improved. The other inconvenience would be the difficulty of loading the chainring since although the double lever system is very comfortable, the difficulty of getting on a large chainring is important especially for older people or someone coming from an injury.

Advantages Campagnolo road bike groupset

If the image of your bicycle is very important to you, the Campagnolo group has some models with classic designs but with very good details and finishes. Wearing a Campagnolo groupset is synonymous with elegance and exclusivity. The aesthetics improve Shimano quite a bit in this regard. On the other hand, the Campagnolos groupsets are also very comfortable, the levers are somewhat smaller so they are easier to grip. Any campagnolo group works perfectly well and the agility in the change is another favorable point.

Disadvantages Campagnolo road bike groupset

Its worst drawback is the price, Campagnolo is the most expensive groupset on the market, although it is also true that the quality is superior. Another problem for Campagnolo is that not all physical stores can find its components. This can be an inconvenience especially when it comes to finding spare parts.

Advantages Shimano road bike drivetrain

In most of its models, Sram presents groups that are somewhat lighter than their equivalents in other brands. It would be the best option for those who want to maximize the price of their bicycle. A good gear and the absence of the double position, makes the Sram changes the fastest on the market. The speed to raise and lower crowns is very high, which means that the response time is lower than that of other brands.

Advantages Shimano road bike drivetrain

It is very likely that Sram will sacrifice weight for durability. The extreme lightness of its components means that, sometimes, they are not the most resistant. Another problem is that not having the double click position can sometimes cause problems if the change is not adjusted perfectly.
