SRAM GX Eagle Crankset
Best short-arm crankset for mountain bikers seeking improved pedal clearance.
The 165mm arm length offers a distinct advantage for technical riders looking to minimize pedal strikes on rocky terrain. While you will need to account for the special-order lead time, the trade-off is a bombproof drivetrain component that delivers consistent, efficient power transfer when the trail gets rowdy.
