Animal Akimbo Cranks

Yes, the Akimbo cranks are designed for versatility. They are fully compatible with both RHD (Right Hand Drive) and LHD (Left Hand Drive) setups, and they support both standard and spline drive sprockets.

Because they feature a 3-piece chromoly design, they are straightforward to maintain. The package includes a dedicated crank tool and grease, which you should use during initial installation to ensure the spindle and arms seat properly and remain creak-free.

Length is largely personal preference, but shorter arms (160mm-165mm) are popular for technical street riding because they provide more clearance for grinds and reduce the chance of pedal bite. Longer arms (170mm-175mm) offer more leverage, which some riders prefer for dirt jumping or trails.

The lifetime warranty covers breakage. If the chromoly arms or spindle fail under normal riding conditions, Animal will replace them, making these a long-term investment for riders who are hard on their equipment.

Yes, the included hollow aluminum spindle bolts are designed to be lightweight without sacrificing strength. They are specifically engineered to secure the 22mm, 48-spline spindle firmly, ensuring your cranks stay tight during heavy impacts.
