Description
SRAM GXP Road Crankset – Precision-Engineered Performance
Crafted for cyclists who demand reliability without compromise, this double-chainring crankset combines forged 6061 aluminum with PowerGlide chainring technology to deliver a 10-speed drivetrain that excels in both speed and durability.
Key Innovations:
– Lightweight Strength: Precision-forged alloy arms reduce rotational inertia (875g total) while maintaining torsional rigidity for aggressive pedaling
– Shift-Perfect Geometry: 34/50T chainrings with optimized tooth profile minimize chain deflection for crisp gear changes at any cadence
– Sealed System Design: Pre-installed cartridge bearings resist moisture intrusion and require zero maintenance during regular use
Optimized Compatibility:
✔️ Direct bolt-on for 130mm/135mm/142mm road hubs (auto-adjusts chainline based on frame geometry)
✔️ Fits all SRAM/Truvativ GXP bottom brackets (9/16″ spindle diameter)
✔️ Works with Shimano/SRAM 10-speed chains (1/2″ x 11/32″ pitch)
Performance Edge Over Competitors:
| Feature | This Product | Standard Crankset |
|---|---|---|
| Weight (170mm) | 875g | ~950g |
| Bearing Sealing | IPX7-rated cartridge | Basic shielded |
| Chainring Wear Resistance | 6061 cold-forged teeth | Cast aluminum |
