WHEN WE STARTED riding these ridiculously light carbon cranks we tiptoed round waiting for them to explode when we rode off a kerb.
But after a year of increasingly abusive behaviour on several different sets that’s seen several wheel breakages and cartwheeling high-speed crashes, we’ve not had a single issue with them. They’re very stiff when sprinting or driving through a berm, with the Cinch BB system extending 30mm axle rigidity to any frame. The user-friendly mount lets you swap out the supplied direct-mount ring for a twin-ring spider and you can even get fatbike width cranks. The naked carbon fibre finish is protected with thick name stickers to keep them looking good, and they’re not even excessively expensive considering their totally outstanding performance.
