FSA Gradient Crankset: Engineered for Enduro Dominance

For trail warriors who demand both power and precision on rugged descents and grueling climbs, the FSA Gradient crankset redefines what’s possible in mountain bike drivetrains. Built for enduro riders seeking uncompromising strength without sacrificing weight savings, this system delivers unmatched versatility tailored to aggressive trail riding scenarios.

Core Advantages:
– Modular Spider Design: Swap chainrings effortlessly between 150mm and 157mm/Boost/Super Boost hub configurations—ideal for bikes evolving with gear trends or trail conditions.
– Direct-Mount Steel Chainring: A thick-thin tooth profile ensures relentless chain retention on technical descents while reducing friction during high-speed sprints.
– Forged AL7050 Aluminum Arms: Solid construction balances rigidity and lightweight performance (crank length: 170mm), perfect for all-day epics without added fatigue.
– 11-Speed Precision: Optimized drivetrain compatibility maximizes shifting responsiveness on steep climbs or rapid transitions—critical for enduro race pacing or trail sessions.

Why Choose FSA Gradient?
Unlike traditional bolt-on chainring setups that add bulk or require frequent adjustments, this crankset’s direct-mount system cuts weight while enhancing durability against impacts common in enduro terrain. Its compatibility with Super Boost hubs ensures seamless integration into modern bike builds prioritizing wide tire clearance and stable geometry—key for tackling loose rock gardens or high-speed berms.

Spec Highlights:
– Single 32T chainring (direct mount)
– 392 EVO spindle interface (9/16″ pedal thread)
– Black anodized finish for stealthy trail presence
– No BB included (requires standard press-fit bottom bracket)
