Atlas FR
Atlas FR cranks are just as strong as Saint yet as much as 50g lighter depending on your ring configuration.
Overview
Tired of hollow promises? Light but strong, ATLAS FR cranks weigh 50g less than Shimano Saint, while maintaining equal strength and stiffness. Engineered for riders wanting a lightweight FR/DH crank. These cranks are manufactured in Canada using OPTIM-AL, an alloy 20% stronger than 7050 alloy, so no need for pedal inserts.
Whether dropping in big or vying for a spot on the podium, your prayers have been answered. ATLAS FR is the new standard.
Features

Reviews
> Riding with the Atlas FR was great. Moab offered up some seriously punishing climbs and descents, and the Atlas FR performed as expected. Shifting between rings was flawless under pressure, and I certainly appreciated the lighter weight on long climbs and the security of strength on high speed rocky descents.

> Crank Preview: With their all new Atlas FR cranks, Race Face has produced a top of the line component which filled a void in their line-up. If the topographical map of the North Shore emblazoned on the cranks didn't give it away, these beauties have been designed for the bike that will truly do it all.

> First Impressions: You would think that these cranks would be heavy in order to keep strength high since they are advertised as a DH/FR crank, but surprisingly they are not! You get typical Race Face strength at a reduced weight which will be a huge hit among racers looking for a strength oriented crankset without the weight that is typically associated with it.

>Race Face has delivered a crank many of you have been itching for, a lightweight 83mm Atlas crank strong enough for competition and lighter than the Diabolus offering...

>Race Face has created another spectacular product with the Atlas FR cranks. Though fairly light in weight, they still provide a great deal of stiffness. We have raced some aggressive tracks strewn with huge sharp boulders, and despite smashing the crank arms and pedals on many rocks, everything is still working beautifully....

>The Race Face Atlas FR X-Type crankset is awesome...everything else is solid, light, well designed, well labeled and works. I would recommend these cranks, especially the 165mm for low bottom bracket dh bikes, to anyone looking to save weight and have a solid crankset...
