SRAM 8 BOLT COMPATIBLE 1x CRANKS FOR POWER/NON POWER/INTEGRATED SPIDERS
AeroCoach Sabre aerodynamic narrow 1x road cranks allow you to take advantage of the aerodynamics of a narrow Q Factor on the road with a Q Factor of 137mm, a reduction of over 10mm compared with stock setups. Sabre cranks have an 8 bolt interface to allow for use with direct mount 1x SRAM® chainrings (power or non power meter), as well as QUARQ® spiders in 1x configuration.
Sabre cranks can be used with plenty of clearance for the crank, chainstay and chain. Different crank lengths are available from 160-172.5mm. Please note that spiders are not included with Sabre cranks.
DESIGN
AeroCoach Sabre cranks are made using a hollow aluminium/carbon design, to reduce weight but provide exceptional stiffness with a deep aero design. A handy locator mark for a UCI jig is placed on the non drive side to centre the bottom bracket spindle.
A 24mm titanium axle ensures that you can fit the Sabre cranks into any bike - whether a BSA threaded bottom bracket shell or integrated/press fit bottom bracket system. Self extracting crank bolts are hidden behind a cover on the drive and non drive side, requiring just an 8mm allen key as normal to remove your cranks from the bike.
Sabre cranks utilise a narrow Q Factor of 137mm to improve aerodynamics and gross efficiency without moving outside of self selected Q Factor ranges*
Please note that Sabre cranks are only compatible with the 8 bolt spiders.
