Description
Descendant 6K DUB Crankset – engineered for Endurance
Built for trail warriors chasing rugged reliability, this SRAM DUB crankset redefines durability without compromising agility. The proprietary DUB spindle interface eliminates traditional bottom bracket complexity, delivering a 15% stiffer platform compared to standard square-taper designs – perfect for high-speed descents or technical climbs where power transfer matters most.
Core Advantages:
– 6000 Series Forged Arms: Precision-machined aluminum arms withstand shock loads up to 3x longer than cast components
– X-SYNC 2 Direct Mount Chainring: Patented tooth profile reduces chain slap by 40% while clearing mud faster than standard bash guards
– Eagle Drivetrain Optimization: Pre-matched tooth geometry ensures zero chain skip across all 10/11/12-speed setups
– Weight Efficiency: At just 705g (170mm), it’s lighter than most alloy cranksets but tougher than carbon alternatives
Ideal For:
▸ Enduro racers needing consistent power output
▸ All-mountain riders tackling wet root sections
▸ Bikepacking adventures requiring low-maintenance components

Sold as a modular system (bottom bracket sold separately), this crankset adapts to evolving setups while maintaining SRAM’s legendary tuning flexibility. The direct-mount design eliminates chainring spacing errors – critical for riders using mixed drivetrain components across multiple bikes.
Available exclusively in matte black finish to complement stealthy trail builds. Includes anti-slip pedal spigots compatible with all major platform pedals (9/16″ spindle standard).
