Strengths:
Every thing it is crazy strong machined out of a solid pic of 7050 aluminum much stronger than the Truvativ Holzfeller Howitzer witch has a hollow core and still weighs all most the same lol. it just feels solid. not to mention the (LIFE TIME WARRANTY)!!!!!!!!
Weaknesses:
The bearing at least that's what people are saying i have yet to have any problems from it but it is still pretty new.

Strengths:
Stiff, stiff,ah, stiff
Weaknesses:
a little heavy, but durable
Similar Products Used:
Just about every crankset that Raceface has made
Bike Setup:
Versus Blitz 2, Diabolus Crankset 26/36 w/ Straitline bash ring, Syncros FL stem, Avid Codes with Straitline levers, Azonic carbon bar, 819 rims w/ Hadley hubs 20mm front 10mm thru in back, Push'ed DHX coil w/ ti spring, Syncros mental mags, Wicked Racin dualrailluer, X9 shifters and rear D,
Bottom Line:
These are by far the stiffest crankset I have tried. I wanted to go lighter so I put a set of Atlas cranks on my Blitz but removed them after 1 ride and reinstalled the Diabolus. The Atlas just felt flexy compared to the Diabolus.
These are the perfect cranks for Freeride or downhill. A little heavy for XC..
