Race Face Turbine Cinch crankset


RACE FACE’S TURBINE cranks share the same pocketed back casting as the super-sturdy Atlas but with more metal machined off the front to achieve a more trail friendly weight.

There’s no obvious loss in the ample stiffness either, though there is less metal around the axle end of the arms to cope with particularly brutal landings. If you’re happy with black and a 30, 32 or 34t tooth ring, and don’t need 180mm arms, this package saves 22$ over separate cranks and rings in a wider range of colour and size options. Either way, the 30mm axle carries useful stiffness right through the frame and the Cinch BB menu is all frames and even fatbike compatible. The removable driveside arm and simple BB-tool-driven lockring make switching chainrings simple too.

WEIGHT: 643g
ARMS: 170, 175mm

Price 270$

ENVE M50 29" Wheels

Utah based company ENVE have been making drool-worthy carbon components for some years now. Despite the fact that carbon rims are becoming more and more common on mountain bikes these days, you can guarantee that ENVE wheels will be a talking point when someone is eyeing off a steed. Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.
