Description
The Race Face Atlas Crank redefines durability and adaptability for aggressive mountain bikers tackling trail rides, enduro descents, and freeride adventures. Crafted from reinforced 7050 aluminum with a braced design matrix, this crankset delivers unmatched stiffness and strength to handle high-speed impacts and technical terrain. Its CINCH interface system stands out as a game-changer—allowing riders to seamlessly switch between 1x, 2x (with or without bash guards), or even 3x chainring configurations using compatible direct-mount rings and removable spiders. Whether you’re building a lightweight XC rig or a heavy-duty DH machine, the Atlas accommodates modern drivetrain setups from 9 to 12 speeds while maintaining precise chainline alignment for 135/142mm and 157mm Super Boost hubs.
The included 30mm aluminum alloy spindle ensures rock-solid power transfer, while the tool-free CINCH system simplifies upgrades with just an ISIS cup tool. Designed for versatility without compromise, this blue-anodized crankset pairs perfectly with today’s wide range of mountain bike geometries. Though sold without pre-installed rings or spiders (requiring separate purchase), its modular design lets you tailor your setup precisely to your riding style—whether carving flow trails or bombing downhill lines.
