The traditional Campagnolo crankset with its spindle (tapered or splined) and cups bottom bracket that accepted pressed-on right and left cranks was replaced in 2008 with the Ultra-Torque system. With the Ultra-Torque system both crank arms are permanently attached to half of the spindle, which is joined at the center with what is known as a "Hirth Joint". Each hollow spindle half (semi-axle) has tapered teeth that mesh together and held by a center bolt.
In 2011 Campagnolo introduced an improvement on the Ultra-Torque system. The Hirth Joint was eliminated and now a single hollow spindle is permanently attacked to the drive crank. The Power-Torque system uses a steel spindle and is found in Campagnolo's mid-range cranksets. The Ultra-Torque introduced in 2013, uses a heat-treated aluminum spindle.
