Race Face Atlas Cinch crankset


THESE LONG-RUNNING Canadian cranks have been updated with Race Face’s excellent Cinch system to create a versatile and user friendly hardcore crankset.

The cold forged, pocketed-back arms are heavy but they’re solid underfoot for direct torque transfer and traction feel. The Cinch system uses a stiff 30mm axle teamed with BB options compatible with all frame standards, from PF30 to old-school screw-in. Separate arm and ring adds cost over complete packages like the Turbine Cinch but give you more colour and ring size options plus 180mm arm lengths. The axle is fixed to the non-driveside arm so it’s easy to remove the driveside arm to replace worn rings, and the threaded Cinch lockring uses a relatively common BSA30 BB tool.

WEIGHT: 707g
ARMS: 170, 175, 180

Price 315$
