Frequently asked questions
Are there different spindle options available for this crankset?
Yes, the Atlas Crankset is designed to be highly versatile to suit various bike setups and riding disciplines. It is available with two different spindle sizes:
- 136mm (DH): Optimized for downhill-specific frames and spacing.
- 151mm: Designed to provide a stiff, responsive interface for a wide range of mountain bike frames, including trail, enduro, and E-bike builds.
Both options feature a 30mm diameter for strength and utilize the Race Face CINCH System, allowing for easy compatibility and component swapping.
Will these cranks hold up against major rock strikes?
Yes, they are exceptionally robust. Many riders report that these cranks shrug off massive hits and pedal strikes without bending, maintaining their structural integrity even after multiple competitive race seasons.
Does the installation require any special tools?
Yes, while the CINCH system is highly regarded for its flexibility and ease of use, installing the Atlas Crankset does require specific tooling designed for the CINCH interface. For the best results and a secure setup, we recommend following the official Race Face installation guidelines and checking out the manufacturer’s DIY support tutorials before beginning your assembly.
Are shorter arm lengths better for technical terrain?
The 165mm option is highly recommended for technical riding. By using a shorter crank arm, you can significantly reduce the risk of pedal strikes while navigating rocky or uneven terrain, helping you maintain momentum through the roughest sections.
Do these cranks maintain their performance over time?
Yes, they are famous for their longevity. Because they are forged from high-quality alloy, they retain their stiffness and alignment long-term, offering a consistent, reliable feel that remains stable regardless of how many hits or rock strikes they encounter on the trail.
Is the CINCH system reliable for frequent adjustments?
The integrated CINCH system is highly regarded by users for being both incredibly strong and user-friendly. It simplifies the process of swapping rings or performing maintenance, making it a favorite for riders who prefer a low-hassle setup.
