Campagnolo FC-RE012 Ultra Torque Bearing Kit Pair for Bottom Bracket Spares & Accessories

The Campagnolo FC-RE012 Ultra Torque Bearing Kit is a genuine pair of precision replacement bearings designed specifically for Campagnolo's Ultra Torque bottom bracket system. If your drivetrain has developed any roughness, notchiness, or play through the pedal stroke, worn bearings are often the culprit — and this is the correct OEM replacement to restore that characteristically smooth Campagnolo feel.

Campagnolo's Ultra Torque system is used across a wide range of their road groupsets, and keeping the bottom bracket bearings in good condition is essential for efficient power transfer and long-term drivetrain health. These bearings are manufactured to Campagnolo's exacting tolerances, ensuring a precise fit and consistent rotation without the compromises that can come with aftermarket alternatives.

Sold as a pair, the FC-RE012 kit covers both the drive and non-drive side bearings in a single purchase — everything you need for a full bottom bracket bearing service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Campagnolo groupsets use the Ultra Torque bottom bracket system?
Ultra Torque is used across a wide range of Campagnolo road groupsets including Record, Chorus, Potenza, and Centaur, among others. If you're unsure whether your groupset uses Ultra Torque, check the crank arm — Ultra Torque cranks have a distinctive half-axle design that joins at the centre of the bottom bracket shell.

Why are the bearings sold as a pair?
The FC-RE012 kit includes both the drive-side and non-drive-side bearings, which is the correct approach for a full bottom bracket service. Replacing both at the same time ensures even wear and consistent performance across the pedal stroke.

Can I install these bearings myself?
If you have experience with bottom bracket servicing and the correct Campagnolo tools, yes. However, Ultra Torque bottom brackets require specific installation procedures and torque settings, so professional installation is recommended if you're not familiar with the system.

Are these genuine Campagnolo bearings?
Yes — the FC-RE012 is a genuine Campagnolo OEM spare, manufactured to the same specification as the original bearings fitted to your groupset.
