FSA K-Force Light ABS BB392EVO crankset


FSA’S NEWFLAGSHIP single-ring crankset is a great choice for powerful riders wanting to save weight.

The boxy hollow carbon arms with co-moulded spider and oversize 30mm axle are seriously stiff, no matter how hard you brace yourself against the bar and strain the pedals round. The BB392 axle/BB standard will fit BB30, PF30 and smaller diameter press-fit or threaded frames with the right adaptors. At a fraction over 450g, the K-Forces offer a big weight saving over most cranks too. The machined alloy chainrings use a unique ‘ABS’ bolt spacing, but FSA have a decent range of chainring sizes (30-36t). The subtly hooked, extended ‘Megatooth’ design is acceptably secure but beware of tooth-chipping boulder strikes. High performance equals a high price too.

WEIGHT: 452g
ARMS: 170,175mm

Price 675$

Gusset Magnum stem

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.
