Review
Fantastic cranks! Very light(435g) and really stiff with great looks. However not all bash rings are compatable e.g DMR, with RACE FACE only producing 32t bash rings i've found a good option is the Filthy 'ard guard!!!
The cranks are aviable in five arm, compact or standard drive and square tappered or ISIS.

Not a bad crank. I had the 175mm version, and I'm 6'4" 190, so I found they flexed too much.

Review
i used these cranks for about 6 months and they lasted really well i had the 170mm units they proved to be real stiff (i only weigh 11 stone) the only problem is i snapped them doing a 3ft drop so not hugely impressed. i dont recommend these for trials as they are xc cranks. currently running middleburns which are cool as but i think your best off using a good old 3 piece, their just stronger and more confidence inspiring
