What's the top 5 mountain bike cranksets in the market?

Question

I'm looking to upgrade to a solid and affordable crankset in the $150-$250. What's my best bet as far as trail/XC? Thanks!

Answer 1

Truvative - Fire-X 3.3 Team
Shimano - LX
Bontrager - Race Lite
Race Face - Evolve XC

Truvative actually makes the cranks for Keith Bontrager - to his spec though.

The shifting performance IS THE BEST with the Shimano cranks.

Get the year's prior release on closeout and save big bucks - Go XT if you can get them in you budget - they are a little bit lighter

Answer 2

1. Shimano XTR
2. Shimano XT
3. Shimano LX
4. Race Face
5. FSA
Shimano makes the best as far as the shifting on the chainrings is concerned. The others may be stiffer or lighter or less expensive or more durable but none shift as good as Shimano.

Answer 3

in case you're changing the backside bracket and chain set then you extremely can choose for an entire set. in the journey that your outdated backside bracket is okay then you extremely in basic terms could desire to seek for an same chain set with the sq. axle setting up, yet there are actually not this variety of super form of of those around. The spokes are actually not significant, the quantity of the teeth is! choose for Shimano, you cant bypass incorrect.

Answer 4

I went with Race Face - Evolve XC. You only need an Allen Key to install or remove. Excellent quality ramped rings.

Answer 5

Depends on your money and the Shop.

Shimano XT
Shimano Hone or LX (almost the same crank, different color).
Race Face Atlas or Deus

XTR are nice but too expensive. FSA has some good ones, but I don't know the numbers.

Answer 6

Shimano XTR is about $350, so XT is good enough

Answer 7
