PRODUCT TEST: Race Face Atlas Crankset


























Just began testing the Race Face Atlas crankset as of June 1st. The performance level of the Atlas crankset is impressive. Being relatively light weight (in comparison to the Diabolus, Saint, or any cro-mo crankset) these cranks are extremely stiff and when matched up to the Diabolus bottom bracket spin smoothly and allow me to feel more confident on the bike. Another great feature about these are the color options that you can get them in. Adding a little color to my bike is great. I've done a lot of street riding on these and they can definently handle the abuse. 6' drops, stair gaps, and repeated spins off ledges have no affect on these cranks! I'll follow up in a few months with more details and how the cranks wear!

Pros: Decent weight, stiff, nice color options, 4 bolt will allow many chainring options

Cons: Small chainring mounts interfered with chainguide, had to grind them off.
