The first product to be branded under the banner of Campagnolo's "Record" was a front derailleur in 1956. Two years later Campy introduced a Record crank with bolts of 151 mm, which allowed an inner ring of at least 44 teeth. The same year saw them introduce aluminum alloy hubs, always marked with the Record insignia, available in both high flange and low flange options.
The first change to the Record groupset was introduced in 1963, while a new version, the Nuovo record, in 1967 saw aluminum alloy and not chromed bronze in the first version of the derailleur.
1967 also saw the introduction of a new crank i smaller than 144 mm, a measure intended to become a world standard for years, which was used to accommodate a minimum of 41 teeth ring.
In 1973 the group Super Record was introduced in both road and track versions.
Production of the Super Record continued until 1987, while the year before had seen the introduction of two new versions: Campagnolo Record and the C-Record.
Since then, the term Record has come back and is the only indication of the top of the range groupset from the masters at Vicenza. In recent years it has had continuous innovation in technology with the introduction of Ergopower (a gear shifter integrated with the brakelever ), the first 9-speed rear transmission (1997) and finally 10 (2000). Both use increasingly valuable materials such as titanium and carbon in place of the now conventional aluminum. The 2007 version, which came into production in late 2006, provides the new Skeleton brakes and crankset with integrated pin to crank with the Ultra-torque.
