Next XC Crankset

The NEXT crank represents another milestone for Race Face. Next cranks are one of the lightest, strongest 100% carbon fiber cranks ever made. Race Face has created a crank that goes beyond existing carbon material & process limitations, setting a new benchmark in performance XC components

• The arms are the result of over two years of intensive engineering & are manufactured in our British Columbia, Canada manufacturing facility.
• Race Face uses the same proprietary carbon material as the new Boeing Dreamliner. This aerospace composite material is available only in North America.
• The crank arms are completely hollow with all unnecessary material being removed from the centre core. The composite arms have no internal aluminum spine.
• By removing the centre core in the post curing process, our engineers mold at high pressure levels resulting in optimal material compaction & an overall lower void structure.
• Pedal & spindle inserts are co-molded & mechanically locked into place. This proprietary bonding process guarantees that they’ll never loosen or creak.
• Race Face Team chainrings are 100% CNC machined from super-hard 7075 aluminum to maximize wear resistance & impact strength.
• All 2008 Race Face XC cranksets feature our new “EXI” interface external bottom bracket system for easier crank installation and removal with standard tools and fully adjustable chainline.
• Next features a specifically engineered, superlight, CNC machined CrMo BB spindle that is permanently moulded directly into the drive side crank arm to minimize weight and maximize power transfer.
• All alloy hardware keeps weight down and coolness high. Crank bolt puller cap makes crank removal a snap with just an 8mm hex wrench.
• Bearings feature our new custom triple wiper seal to better retain grease & keep contaminants out.
