Race Face North Shore XS LP Crankset
Product DescriptionThis crank is built solely for the 'new school' rider who doesn't think twice about launching off a 10-foot drop. When combined with an ISIS Drive BB, the North Shore crank set is the stiffest, most fatigue resistant, and impact proof crank you can put on your bike. Used 'as is' by Myles Rockwell of Team Giant, the 2000 Downhill World Champion. If Myles can't bend 'em, neither can you. Simple as that.
