Hope's first carbon crankset uses an optimised lay-up and very small aluminium inserts to balance stiffness, weight and isolation from trail chatter. It shares its proven self-extracting axle interface with the EVO crank and is built for trail and all-mountain riding.

Highlights

• T700 carbon fibre with a 1K outer weave for abrasion resistance
• Foam core helps absorb impacts and dampen vibration
• Replaceable pedal thread inserts
• Self-extracting axle/arm interface from the EVO crank
• 30mm oversize 7075 aluminium axle

Tuned ride feel

Rather than chasing maximum stiffness, Hope tuned the lay-up for ride feel. The foam core and 1K outer fabric give the cranks their distinctive Hope carbon look while adding impact and abrasion resistance.

Built to be serviced

Damaged pedal threads can be replaced rather than writing off an arm, and the self-extracting interface makes fitting and removal simple.

Options

Colour refers to the anodised hardware; the arms are carbon.

Compatibility & fit

This version uses the 68/73mm axle for threaded 68mm or 73mm bottom bracket shells, with a Hope 30mm bottom bracket. The crank is configurable for 52mm and 55mm chainlines and takes Hope direct-mount spiderless retainer chainrings from 28T to 36T only. Q-factor is 168mm (Boost) or 176mm (55mm chainline). Check Hope's crank selection and clearance charts for your frame. Fitting is a separate Tune Cycles workshop service, not included in the price – book at tunecycles.com.au/book.
