RaceFace Atlas Crankset
Best heavy duty choice for aggressive downhill and freeride mountain bikers.
These cranks are built for riders who prioritize unshakeable durability over shaving every possible gram. The modular design makes swapping chainrings a breeze, though you’ll pay for that versatility with a slightly heavier, more robust build that feels virtually indestructible on the roughest descents.
