The Next crank represents another milestone for Race Face. Next cranks are one of the lightest, strongest 100% carbon fiber cranks ever made. Race Face has created a crank that goes beyond existing carbon material & process limitations
The Features of the Race Face Next Carbon SL Chainset are:- The arms are the result of over two years of intensive engineering & are manufactured in our British Columbia, Canada manufacturing facility.
- Race Face uses the same proprietary carbon material as the new Boeing Dreamliner. This aerospace composite material is available only in North America
- The crank arms are completely hollow with all unnecessary material being removed from the centre core. The composite arms have no internal aluminum spine.
- By removing the centre core in the post curing process, our engineers mold at high pressure levels resulting in optimal material compaction & an overall lower void structure
- Race Face Team chainrings are 100% CNC machined from super-hard 7075 aluminum to maximize wear resistance & impact strength
- Chainrings feature our patented S.H.I.F.T. technology for lightning quick up-shifts
- Next features a specifically engineered, superlight, forged and CNC machined CrMo BB spindle that is permanently moulded directly into the drive side crank arm to minimize weight and maximize power transfer.
- All alloy hardware keeps weight down and coolness high. Crank bolt puller cap makes crank removal a snap with just an 8mm hex wrench.
