Hi,

My bike came with a Stylo 6k crankset which is quite heavy, what are the best crankset option in the market at the moment that will not break the bank but will be lighter than what I have?
It needs to be boost.

Thanks

Keep an eye out for some XX1 cranks. A lot of people are upgrading to AXS drivetrains who already had XX1 so are either dumping their original crank or the new AXS one.
My brother has managed to get both himself and his wife a new set of XX1 DUB cranks this way for half the cost of retail set.
611g for STYLO DUB with a 32t versus 438g XX1 DUB with a 36t

Can I go with any eagle xx1 crankset? The difference between the boost and non boost is just in the chainring offset?

Yeah, the difference is in the chainring offset (3 mm = Boost, 6 mm = non-boost). Obviously there are some fat-bike-specific cranks too, which won't fit a regular frame.

As mustafah009 said.

Also if you are replacing it from a new bike you probably have the DUB bottom Bracket so find a DUB XX1 crank and it'll slide right in without needing a BB change.

Its a good "middle ground" option at 550g with Cahainring. Its more an "all mountain/Enduro" crank to be honest.
You can save another 100g with XX1, Raceface, or even the Praxis for not a huge amount more investment (last XX1 AXS crank we got for $300USD brand new)

Is there a difference between a SRAM AXS crank and a regular XX1 Eagle crank? I've seen some good deals come up on XX1 DUB cranks but they list AXS in the description From what I can tell there is no difference and they should be able to be used on a regular mechanical (non electronic/AXS) drive train. Am I correct in thinking this? Thanks

 

[Crossmaxx]

Yes, correct. No difference between an XX1 crank and an XX1 AXS.

Awesome. Thank you.
