Description
The FSA Gossamer Pro ABS BB386EVO Crankset is engineered for road cyclists seeking a perfect balance of lightweight performance and unwavering stiffness. Designed for riders tackling everything from endurance rides to competitive racing, this high-performance crankset combines advanced materials with innovative design to deliver responsive power transfer without compromising on durability.
Key Features:
– Cold-Forged Aluminum Construction: Crafted from premium AL6061-T6 alloy, the scalloped crank arms optimize strength-to-weight ratios while maintaining a sleek profile ideal for aggressive riding styles.
– 30mm BB386EVO Spindle: Compatible with nearly all modern frame standards via adaptable bottom brackets (sold separately), this spindle ensures seamless integration across Shimano 10/11-speed, SRAM 10/11-speed, and FSA 11-speed drivetrains.
– Asymmetric Bolt Spacing (ABS): Strategically positioned chainring bolts enhance torsional rigidity and alignment precision, maximizing power efficiency on 130mm hubs while maintaining a 145mm Q-factor for ergonomic knee comfort.
– Precision Engineering: CNC-machined AL7075 chainrings with recessed pins guarantee rapid, accurate shifting even under high load, paired with a 110mm FSA ABS BCD for reliable tooth retention.
Why Choose the Gossamer Pro?
This crankset excels in scenarios demanding both speed and control—whether conquering hilly terrain or maintaining sprint intensity during criterium races. Its lightweight design (ideal for weight-conscious riders) and broad compatibility make it a versatile upgrade for road bikes using 50/34T chainrings or similar setups. Unlike heavier steel-based alternatives, its aluminum components resist flex while keeping grams to a minimum—a critical advantage for time-trialists or gran fondo enthusiasts prioritizing every watt of effort.
