Pros: Light weight and strong. Performs well, bash guard works well too.
Cons: none
Recommendation: I have the M665 with the bash guard, decided to lose the 3rd chain ring since I bent my last crankset on rocks. This crankset is awesome, price wasn't bad and am looking to get alot of use out of it.
Cons: none

Pros: Light weight. Robust for all mountain riding. Great design. Flawless shifting. Great bottom bracket. Very stiff.
Cons: none
Recommendation: Awesome crankset for the money. No flex even when pedaling very hard on it. Overall, great upgrade to my current setup.
Cons: none
Recommendation: Awesome crankset for the money. No flex even when pedaling very hard on it. Overall, great upgrade to my current setup.
Pros: Relatively cheap, light (for the money), strong, easy to install. It performs like the old Saint cranks without the weight penalty... great general-use cranks.
Cons: Could be lighter... but then they'd cost more... so none really.
Recommendation: Best bang-for-your-buck cranks on the market.

Recommendation: These cranks are lightweight and very stiff. Hold up to the inevitable rock strike. Only complaint is the noise it make when the get hit by trail debris.
