What are the different levels of Campagnolo?

Campagnolo groupsets

Campagnolo offers five groupset levels from Centaur at the mid-price level right up to Super Record. The top three groupsets – Super Record, Record and Chorus – come in both mechanical and electronic versions. Campagnolo calls its electronic systems EPS: Electronic Power Shift.

Is Campagnolo Mirage good?

Mirage overall is also good quality but the drivetrain doesn't feel as smooth as Tiagra. Shifting rear is great, not much different from Veloce but the left QS front is noticeably "rougher" than either Shimano and higher up campy. Campy was 10sp while Tiagra was 9sp so I guess that's a slight advantage.

What is the difference between Campagnolo Record and Super Record?

One more difference between the two models is the additional aero-lip on the Super Record crank which reduces torsion in the chainring and increases aerodynamics.
