Easton EC90 Carbon Crank

Easton meticulously tested the top cranksets on the market in their goal of making a crank with the greatest stiffness for its weight. According to their testing, Easton succeeded with Dura Ace coming in a bit stiffer but with about an 80 gram weight difference. Much of the stiffness and weight savings is thanks to CNT™ composite construction in which carbon is blended with Carbon Nanotubes which Easton claims are the lightest and stiffest structures in existence. The EC90 crankset is also incredibly durable surviving a fatigue test of over 500,000 cycles which Easton claims to be five times that of the nearest competitor. Taperwall™ construction uses very gradual and smooth butting for greater thickness at points of greatest stress without adding excessive weight. Dual Core Composite constructions divides the layup process into hollow segments which allows precise control of the carbon layup and also forms an inner skeleton for strength. 7050 aluminum pedal inserts. Ceramic Teflon coated ramped and pinned 53/39 tooth chainrings for quiet and accurate shifting. 24mm oversized steel spindle with outboard bearings (bottom bracket cups NOT included). 568 grams (172.5mm; weighed without bottom bracket cups). Standard uses 130BCD and Compact uses 110 BCD
