Strengths: Strong bashguard and arms. This product comes in many arm sizes (175mm for me). The gold cupos and bolts still shine, no cheap plating or paint.Weaknesses: None so farBottom Line: In my opinion, Shimano Saint is the best freeride/DH line out there today. The M-815 series is the newest of the line and is far greater than the M-810 line 2 years ago. This crankset is more reliable and lighter than pervious sets.

Strengths: easy to install, great lookingWeaknesses: the rings suck and are going after 6 months (yes i know how to clean my chain and bike...my blackspire rings on my trail bike are like new). from what i've read, interchangeability with off the shelf parts is tough (bashguard, and chainrings). this is a big miss imo because i don't want to use shimano rings.Bottom Line: great cranks, great price and easy to install (compared to the race face). i'm 150lbs so i never have issues with stiffness.
the only gripe i have is that the chainrings are already shark finned after 6 months! totally ridiculous to be going bad that quick considering the bike is used for freeride, minimal climbing, and in dry CA weather. oh well. i heard replacement rings may be an issue due to the cut/clearance of the new bashguard so i guess i'll find out if there are any issues when i get new rings. bashguard replacement may be an issue too due to this one being thicker.
