RaceFace Next SL G5 Crankset: 175mm CINCH MTB

The Next SL Crankset redefines performance for cross country mountain bikers by combining cutting-edge materials with refined engineering. Evolved from its award-winning predecessor—the Next R—the SL model delivers unprecedented lightweight design while boosting durability through advanced carbon fiber consistency. Crafted entirely in Canada using premium American-sourced carbon, this crankset offers uncompromising stiffness for razor-sharp power transfer directly to your wheels, ensuring you gain every possible advantage during grueling climbs or explosive sprints on technical trails.

Ideal for pedal-driven XC racing or aggressive trail riding, the Next SL’s removable spider system provides unmatched adaptability. Whether you’re upgrading chainring standards now or preparing for future trends like wider gear ratios or new mounting systems, its modular design lets you swap components effortlessly without replacing the entire crankset—saving both time and money over time.

At just 418 grams, this ultra-lightweight setup pairs seamlessly with modern cross country builds prioritizing speed and efficiency. Its 30mm CINCH spindle ensures rock-solid engagement with your chainrings while supporting power meter integration for data-driven training optimization. Designed specifically for mountain biking’s demands, it’s compatible with MTB standard hubs (135/142mm), Boost hubs (141/148mm), and even DH hubs (150/157mm)—making it versatile enough for varied trail conditions or evolving frame designs.

Why Choose the Next SL?
While other XC cranksets compromise between weight and stiffness or limit hub adaptability, the Next SL excels across critical metrics:
– Lighter & Stiffer: Outperforms leading brands in power delivery thanks to its optimized carbon layup
– Future-Proof Setup: Removable spider accommodates current standards (like SRAM X-SYNC) while enabling upgrades
– Universal Compatibility: Supports multiple hub configurations without sacrificing performance
– Race-Ready Build: Built-in CINCH interface ensures reliability under high torque demands
