The bicycle cranksets (USA) or chainset (British) is the drivetrain component that converts the pedaling power of the cyclist into a rotational motion used to drive the chain, applying power and torque to the rear drive-wheel.

Mountain MTB Cranksets and Road Cranksets available.

The road bike crankset consists of the arms usually mounted 180 degrees out of phase with each other in which the pedals are attached, the chaining in which the chain rides driving power to the rear drive-wheel.  The mtb cranksets arms come in various lengths to accommodate various sizes of cyclists and also for varying styles of biking.  Longer crank arms provide a longer moment arm for torque but require a larger arc to rotate, while shorter arms provide a smaller arc for improved high speed efficiency.

Crank arms are constructed from a variety of materials including steel, chromoly steel, aluminum alloy, titanium and carbon fiber (heaviest to lightest materials). Browse our bicycle cranksets today and get a road bike crankset for unbeatable prices.
