Easton EC90 SL 175mm Crankset for Road Bikes
$111.61
Description
The Easton EC90 SL Crankset redefines versatility for road cyclists and cyclocross racers seeking a lightweight, high-performance drivetrain solution. Built around Easton’s innovative CINCH Direct Mount System, this crankset seamlessly adapts to both 1x and 2x setups, offering unmatched flexibility for riders balancing speed and reliability across varied terrain. Its hollow carbon arms combine featherlight efficiency (352g) with rugged durability, while the 30mm aluminum spindle ensures precise power transfer without added bulk.
Engineered for modern drivetrains, the EC90 SL supports 10- and 11-speed systems and is optimized for road disc hubs (135/142mm) with chainstay lengths up to or exceeding 415mm. This design minimizes chain slap on rough trails and quietens running noise during high-speed sprints, making it ideal for cyclocross races or endurance road training. The removable CINCH spiders simplify chainring swaps using the included ISIS BB tool, reducing downtime between setups—perfect for multi-surface athletes or those upgrading drivetrain components.
