The new ROTOR 1×13 groupset offers up a single chainring hydraulic system developed for road, gravel and cyclocross. Manufactured in Spain, the new groupset offers riders a choice of chainring and cassette sizing combinations.
ROTOR adds that the 1×13 groupset is ‘for competitive cyclists who want a light and reliable 1x hydraulic system with an optimised gear sequencing for sprints, attacks, mountain passes and high-speed descents.’
With fewer components on board, ROTOR 1×13 is positioned as a lightweight and robust groupset that benefits from the maximum rigidity and optimum structural efficiency of modern disc brake systems.
The groupset weighs in at only 1,785g including shifters, derailleur, brakes and hydraulic hosing, 10-36 – 13s cassette and chain.
The ROTOR 1×13 groupset includes what is being billed as ‘a revolutionary rear derailleur, a range of elite cassettes, 13 speed specific hubs and wheels, and the world’s most sophisticated power meters, cranks and chainrings.’
Shift indexing for 1×13 takes place in the rear derailleur with a robust casing that provides versatility across road, gravel and cyclocross disciplines. The internal clutch mechanism keeps chain tension steady over rough terrain, helping to prevent frame damage from chain slap or potential loss of chain.
ROTOR adds that ‘The distribution of component weight adds to the natural balance and stability you demand from your ride.’
The ROTOR 1×13 rear derailleur is protected by a reinforced Armoured Box that helps to protect against all external elements, shocks and impacts.
