With the growing popularity of fat bikes, SRAM has released cranksets specifically designed to work with extra wide tires. The cranks feature a 100 millimeter spindle and are available in two crank arm lengths, 170- and 175-millimeter. The X5 retail for $169 and the X7 go for $314. 



The SRAM X9 and X5 cranks have been re-engineered to perform on the fat bike. With a 100mm wide spindle and having dedicated SRAM 2X10 chainrings, SRAM has eliminated most tire-to-chain rub often found on fat bikes. The X9 and X5 cranks are lighter than most current fat bike crank offerings and the 36/22 gearing gives riders fast access to the right gear range. SRAM cranks are lightweight, stiff and always reliable. Whether you’re powering over snow or tackling an all-day, all terrain epic, your best ride starts with SRAM.

Features:

- SRAM 2X10 Shifting Technology

- 36/22 Gearing

- GXP 100mm Bottom Bracket

- Super Stiff and Durable

- Faster, Lighter and More Efficient
