With the recent merger of Easton and Race Face, the former was able to bring the latter's future proof Cinch crankset technology from mountain bikes to road, cyclocross, and gravel. We built the direct mount, one by Easton EC90 SL Crankset primarily for 'cross and gravel, but the crank arms' modularity means it can adapt to the spider life of a double as needed. That modularity is the key to the crankset's future proof status. Rather than being adrift in an ever expanding sea of proprietary standards and slightly tweaked dimensions, the self sponsored cyclist can invest once in the Cinch equipped EC90 SL crank system with confidence that, regardless of what the future holds, the chassis will be compatible. The crank arms themselves are Easton's EC90 SL carbon fiber, a material that's already been proven from cockpit components to the soles of some of cycling's most popular race shoes. The included rings say Easton, but they feature a narrowwide tooth profile similar to the one by standouts from Race Face, so the chainring clears debris caked on from peanut butter mud pits and maintains chain retention across washboard and over sized gravel.
