The Campy shifting is totally different from the others. The upshift and downshift levers are separate and make sense. The upper levels allow you to shift multiple gears with one swipe, up to 5 gears up and 3 down.
I have bikes with Athena, Chorus and one with Super Record. I will never buy anything other than Super Record again. Life is too short to by ****ty bikes.
