Description
Descended from BlackBox technology, brings to the masses the crank used by 2009 World Champion Steve Peat. Truvativ?s downhill-race specific crank uses the same forged AL7050 material as in the freeride/DH Holzfeller, but in a second-shaving 822g package (that?s 240g less than the Holzfeller OCT). When your eye is on the podium, there is no room for compromise ? that?s why the Descendant comes with the totally revamped GXP bottom bracket with Gutter Seal Technology.

Reviews
Pros: Stiff and strong. Takes a bashing and stays straight.
The simple set up and compatability of the bolt pattern to accept any chain retention device is a plus.
Cons: none
Recommendation: Great lightweight DH crankset that will not let you down. Stiff as stiff can be even landing bigger jumps these cranks are firm without feeling like they will fold on you.
