Riders on Campagnolo Potenza 11 disc brake groupsets whose hoods are worn, torn or sticky.
Hoods take a beating from sweat, sunscreen and the odd crash, and once they stretch or tear your grip suffers. These are genuine Campagnolo EC-DB500PO replacement hoods for Potenza 11 speed disc brake Ergopower levers, supplied as a left and right pair.
They're made from a variable density, non-allergenic material using Campagnolo's Vari-Cushion design to soak up vibration on long rides, and grooved areas drain water so the hoods stay grippy in the wet.

Great for
Maybe not for
Fits Campagnolo Potenza 11 speed disc brake Ergopower levers from 2018 onwards. Rim brake Potenza levers have a different shape and need hood EC-PO500. Check Campagnolo's spare parts documents if you're unsure which levers you have.
Fitting new hoods
Roll the new hood back on itself, hook it over the top of the lever body and work it down evenly. A little isopropyl alcohol on the lever body helps it slide on and evaporates without leaving the hood slippery. Take your time around the brake lever pivot and hose.
Make them last
Wipe your hoods down after sweaty rides and avoid petroleum-based cleaners, which can make rubber swell and go tacky.
