TruVativ Crankset Stylo OCT 33 GXP 175 Mirror Black 44-32-22

I think that it is 40g lighter than the XT and R700 cheaper...

I'm running the SLX at the moment and want to upgrade at some point soonish (dependant as always on bank manager).

 

How much lighter is the truvative than the SLX crank?

I couldn't find a weight for it on CRC or CWC.

The XT is only 30g lighter than the SLX...

 

That makes the TruVativ about 70g lighter than the SLX...

 

I have no idea what an entry level Deore crank weighs in at but I suspect that it will be close to 1kg. I will dropping my bike into the 11kg bracket with this change.

 

The 2009 Anthem X2 weighed 13kg brand new - with a few mods she now weighs 12.1kg... now for the new crank!!

XT is only 30g lighter than the SLX! thats quite surprising....i thought in the region of 100g. Oh well not much point me upgrading to just that...i think i'll keep saving for the FSA K-Light or Truvative carbon noir. At the moment i'll save more weight with a pedal upgrade.

 

You'll have to post some pics once it's in the 11kg bracket...

Hi all,

 

Just took delivery of a Mojo with the X9 kit and these Stylo cranks. I've come from an XT crank, XT FD, XTR RD, XTR shifters and XTR cassette, and the shifting of the Stylo and X9 is on a par with the XT/XTR setup. I'd say that the XTR have the edge in precision, but only just.

 

I haven't yet taken the cranks off the new bike, so no comment on the workshop side. But riding with them is very, very good. At the price point mentioned, I think they are great. According to the reviews the chainrings are soft, but I have a set of FSA chainrings on standby.
