The goal was to produce a crank that minimises the effort required for the drive and enables more efficient power transmission. An exclusive forging process allows the production of extremely light crank arms that nevertheless guarantee maximum stiffness. The fixed connection of the right arm to the axle of the bottom bracket and its external bearing also serve an optimum relationship between stiffness and low weight. Dynamic Chain Engagement+ | The special tooth profile for chainrings of 1-speed drivetrains noticeably improves chain retention, which also makes pedaling easier in rough terrain and offers particular advantages in the MTB application areas of Cross County, Enduro and Trail. The optimized chain guidance also reduces abrasion and wear, regardless of the gear selected.
