E thirteen TRS+ crankset


THE TRS+ CRANKS are instantly recognisable, with their very broad and flat arms and gold hardware. They’re super-stiff, strong and light, but the unique bottom bracket design is a plus and a minus.

The spider is interchangeable and a direct-mount single-ring version is available for 385$. Unique low-profile bearings mean the alloy BB30 axle can fit into conventional sized frames too. From experience, the roundedtriangle P3 Connect interface needs careful watching and frequent retightening over the first few rides to get a reliable long-term connection though. Once secure, the cranks are seriously stiff for their weight, and bearing life is OK too.

The arms cost 340$, the BB is an extra 67$ and the Guidering M narrow-wide ring is 70$.

Chainring 32t
Weight 651g
Options BB30 only (but fits 24mm), 68-73mm only, 1x/2x/arms-only

PRICE 410$ (not inc BB)
