This was one of the largest categories in terms of the total number of candidates, with over 100 'others' that landed less than five votes each. But the clear winner was Campagnolo's Record 10 speed groupset with almost a quarter of the vote in this very diverse field. We counted separately the new Record carbon cranks which nevertheless came in fifth making the total Campagnolo vote over twice that of the score for Shimano's Dura-Ace group.

Mavic's popular Ksyrium wheels took the bronze and the top five is rounded out by Giro's Pneumo helmet.
