The Deus XC crank continues Race Face's legendary tradition for XC excellence in aluminum cranks. Featuring our signature I-Beam arm profiling & our smooth shifting, made in Canada ?Team' rings with patented Shift Technology, the Deus crank is an incredibly light & stiff performance crank-set. Designed specifically for cross country racing & riding, Deus continues to set the benchmark for performance cross country cranks.
? Arms are carefully engineered using ultra-high strength 7050 aluminum alloy to maximize strength to weight ratio.
? Fully forged for maximum fatigue resistance and then extensively CNC machined for that classic Race Face look.
? Aggressive I-Beam profiling minimizes weight while maintaining stiffness and strength.
? Team rings are CNC machined from super-hard 7075 aluminum to maximize wear resistance & impact strength.
? All 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.
? Features a super light, butted, forged and CNC machined CrMo EXI spindle.
? 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.

Lightweight
Cons: No bash ring (BBG solving that issue for me)
Recommendation: Love it so far. Seems to be a bit longer than my previous crankset, which is nice come downhills. Shift quickly, easily, and doesn't skip a beat. Well worth it.
