Campagnolo EPS V2, V3, V4.......
What are the differences between all the versions ?
I did search but couldn't find an answer

V1 - battery was external and the interface was a wee box
V2 - battery went internal but only worked internally on certain frames (via down tube) and certain seat posts - interface is still a wee box - charging port is a PITA
V3 - battery now works in pretty much every seat post and the interface is now all singing all dancing and works with the phone app
V1 shifters and mechs are compatible right through the series - Campagnolo didn't make any changes to them because they didn't need to - I'm using my V1 lot on a V3 battery/interface with zero issues.1 -
Oh and V4 is 12-speed - all change1

V-4 is the 12 speed, and it includes the all singing and dancing software, so that you can set up synchro shifts, and tune shift speeds and assign levers and buttons to your preferences, which are surprisingly useful features.1

I have only used mechanical Campagnolo. I can't see how anything can be quicker or more flexible! I'll have to try it one day. I am loving my new 12 speed.1

The synchro feature is brilliant. Basically you tell it when you want to shift rings, to keep chain line optimal and cadence / power as steady as possible, and you can get it to shift both mechs simultaneously and also shift the rear to compensate for the ring shift, selecting a ratio which is as close as possible to the last ratio before the front shifted, and it’s all done from one shifter, without having to think about it. That is a very difficult / impossible trick to pull off smoothly, with a mechanical shift. The constant automatic tracking of the front mech, as you shift up or down at the rear is also a very neat trick. It over shifts at the front, then readjusts to keep the chain right in the middle of the front guide automatically. Being able to tune the shift speed is a great idea too, as is the ability to assign different shifters / buttons, without having to recable the shifters.teisetrotter said:I have only used mechanical Campagnolo.

You do realise that this can be done via SRAM and Di2 as well yeah?0

Many thanks, much appreciated. Thats just what I was afterthegreatdivide said:V1 - battery was external and the interface was a wee box

The Campag versions are far nicer / easier to use though. The SRAM AXS is better than the Shimano IMO, but the MyCampy interface on the Campagnolo is even easier / nicer to use.thegreatdivide said:You do realise that this can be done via SRAM and Di2 as well yeah?

I like how you've gone from a Triban with three GPS units, low cadence and a 75kg rucksack, to become a retired and highly experienced amateur racing cyclist and expert in Campagnolo.

I like the fact that ( a lot of people ) assumed ( wrongly ) that the Triban’s / BTwins were my only bikes, that I hadn’t ever owned and ridden decent bikes, and that I was somehow new to this.thegreatdivide said:I like how you've gone from a Triban with three GPS units, low cadence and a 75kg rucksack, to become a retired and highly experienced amateur racing cyclist and expert in Campagnolo.
