Aerozine X-ONE A1 crankset


AEROZINE’S SINGLE-RING cranks are a useful option for less aggressive riders looking to save some weight and money.

The broad-but-shallow forged arms and direct-fit ring make them the lightest alloy cranks here apart from Shimano XTR. Reversible pedal plugs allow 170 or 175mm effective lengths (172.5mm plugs are 21$) without changing the actual arms. The price also includes a decent external-cup BB, but there’s no 30mm option. The arms are noticeably flexible when you stamp your foot down under power or rail hard through corners. The rings are flexible too, and the simple narrow/ wide tooth profile is slightly noisier and less secure than others here. The three-bolt fixing is SRAM compatible though, so there are plenty of aftermarket alternatives that’ll fit.

WEIGHT: 584g
ARMS: 170, 172.5, 175mm

Price 210$
