Rotor’s pumping out the goods this fall with some hot new 3D Cranks and Q-Rings, plus several bottom brackets that let you run standard cranks in your BB30 frame or vice versa!

Shown above is the new 3D+ crank, based on the venerable 3D, updated with a 30mm axle. These cranks are fully compatible with BB30, BBright and any conventional  BSA threaded frame. For an ultra rigid crank their weight is impressive: just  470 grams for the compact version and  493 grams for the XC2 version (without BB/chainrings). These cranks are certified to the EN14781 standard, one of the most demanding tests in the market.

Modeled on the crankset above are the new Q-Rings with updated, bolder laser graphics, upgraded pins and revised teeth profiles to improved shifting precision and prevent chain sucks.

Check the rest after the break…

3D Aero (shown) & Track cranks: These new 3D crank variants, designed for TT and Track bikes, have a closed spider design with an ultra-light, aerodynamic, reinforced structure. The Track version increases overall stiffness compared to an open spider crank to fulfil the demands of track racing.

BSA30 BB: ride an ultra-rigid, super-light 3D+ crank in your BSA threaded frame. High precision ceramic and steel Enduro bearings. Extremely low dynamic rolling resistance.

Anyone have experience with previous Rotor track cranks? I’m highly intrigued.
