Gravity GRID MegaExo Megatooth crankset


THE HOLLOWFORGED, rectangular section arms of the new GRID cranks are permanently fixed to a deep 3D sculpted, square tipped spider.

That makes for a reassuringly solid feel underfoot for accurate feedback and direct power delivery even with the conventional diameter MegaExo axle. Gravity don’t offer BB30 or BB392 cranks so you’ll have to use adaptors if you’ve got a large-bore frame. The fractionally taller profile seems to make the ‘Megateeth’ more vulnerable to snapped tips than other narrow/wide designs if you sump out on a boulder, but at least the conventional 104/64mm bolt circle diameter means the GRIDs are compatible with most aftermarket replacement rings. This crankset will take an inner chainring too, but both weight and price are relatively high.

WEIGHT: 737g
ARMS: 170, 175mm

Price 375$

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.
