Race Face Ride crankset


OFFERING ALL THE single-ring essentials for 60$ less than the nearest competition, our Value Award winning crankset was obvious right from the start of the test.

Race Face’s Ride cranks are slightly heavier than more expensive units and there’s no oversize 30mm Cinch option, but the steel EXI axle doesn’t feel obviously soft or flexy underfoot. The included 3D-machined narrow/wide rings in a choice of 32 or 34t sizes are secure, durable, laser-etched items that would cost you 55$ if bought separately. If single-ring life turns out not to be for you then the co-moulded spider also works with twin or triple-ring set-ups. You even get a half-decent threaded BB included, which you can always barter with even if you need a different standard.

WEIGHT: 693g
ARMS: 170, 175mm

Price 150$
