Strengths: Use mine with a MRP bling ring. Great set-up. I've had no problems. No issues with the GXP bb. I'm 250lbs, and I notice no flexy-stuff. Finish seems pretty tough too, but I've only been on them for 6 months. For the price, they're hard to beat.Weaknesses: None so far. Tempted to buy another set when I find them under $100 because it looks like a model that might not stick around.Bottom Line: What's to review? Get yourself a set, especially if you're going to change the rings anyways and go single ring. I was told in the Sram forum that these cranks are no different that the X9 set, but for some differences in the chainrings. If you can find a set of these cranks for under $120, it's a big time win for you.
Favorite Trail: Unimportant.
Duration Product Used: At least 6 months.
Price Paid:
$120.00

Strengths: Light crankset, decent price, sleek and simple appearance, puts up with a lot of abuse.Weaknesses: None yet.Bottom Line: I bought the 2x AM version of this crankset (24/36/Bash), and I love it. The bash is solid aluminum and has stood up to a couple rock and log hits with no bends or breaks. I've also smashed the non-drive side crank arm deep enough to scratch into the aluminum, but it didn't fail. This is a very similar crankset to the Shimano SLX, but you get a solid aluminum bash, and it's $25-50 cheaper.
This comes with a newly designed GXP bottom bracket as well which seals off the bearings better than the original. No complaints after riding this 2x9 setup for the last 4 months.

Strengths: Smooth shifting chainrings
bashguard
stiff crank armsWeaknesses: non yetBottom Line: Got this as a replacement to my Fire x there was on its way out. I was surprised by they crankset. Similar to the Sram S140. The chain ring combo is great (36-24) plus you get the bashguard. Crank arms are pretty stiff. Pretty satisfied so far.
Just watch the non drive side washer on the gxp bb during the installation.
