A very good crank! Just as strong as Holzfellers and Hussefelts for about half the price. The arms look heavy but are actually quite light for such a stout crank. I replaced the aluminum bash guard with FSA's new clear shatterproof polycarbonate-composite. Now they look even better.
If you want to change to a stronger crank for aggressive riding, freeriding or jumping... Get this crankset! (save money and get the armset)
