CRANKSETS/CHAINRINGS
2012 SRAM Red Exogram GXP Crankset
The first generation Red crankset used a foam core with a carbon structure wrapped around it to meet SRAM's ambitions for drivetrain performance and weight. While the stiff crank arms offered excellent response under load, one complaint that came from a handful of ProTour riders was that under ...read more
2011 SRAM Red Black BB30 Crankset
If you ever thought that Sram's Red Crankset looked too sterile with their grey chainrings, have a look at this Red Black BB30 Crankset. Functionally, it's the very same, though the new black chainrings give it a more sinister appearance. And since SRAM is a forward-looking company, they wanted to ...read more
2011 SRAM Red Black Crankset
While the flawless shifting quality hasn't changed, the all-black treatment on the SRAM Red Black Crankset will move you. We like it because its monochromatic version of the Nascar-esque graphical styling of Red seems more subdued and stealthy. All the same, the Black Red Crankset shares the top ...read more
2012 SRAM Force BB30 Crankset
SRAM believes in the BB30 bottom bracket standard. That's why they offer it in their top two cranksets, including this SRAM Force BB30 Crankset. How's this different than their Force GXP Crankset and how is it better? The difference is that it's designed around the BB30 bottom bracket ...read more

2012 SRAM Force Crankset
SRAM's Force Crankset has unidirectional carbon fiber arms and spider similar to their top-of-the-line Red crankset. And similarly, a splashy Force flourish and huge SRAM lettering on the inside surface of both arms, make it so that you can see the right side SRAM logo when viewing from the left ...read more
2012 SRAM Rival Crankset w/GXP Bottom Bracket
Comparing any SRAM Rival component to its Red counterpart is an easy task because SRAM makes the story so easy to follow: Rival and Red components are functionally identical across all component types. What makes Red feel so special (shifting, braking, ergonomics, etc) carries directly into the ...read more
2012 SRAM Apex Cross Crankset w/GXP Bottom Bracket
Most cyclocross courses subject racers to a narrower range of terrain than what road racing requires. There are no long climbs, nor flat out field sprints. With that in mind, a closer ratio chainring set would allow you to have a finer ability to select the proper gear range for a particular ...read more
2011 SRAM Apex Crankset w/GXP Bottom Bracket
Triple road cranks are a dying breed, here's why. Groups like SRAM Apex, with its double compact cranks and wide ratio cassettes offer the gear range you need without the complications of three chainrings and all the extra weight. The Apex Crankset serves up faster shifts, minimizes the chance for ...read more
2012 Truvativ XX Crankset - 156 Q-Factor
For all the talk of the XX Cassette, the XX Crankset is really where they're changing the gearing paradigm. Double chain ring cranks have made consistent if periodic appearances in the MTB world for years. The reasons for their appearance have always been the same -- lighter weight, better Q-factor, ...read more
