Race Face Six C Double 24/36 Chainset with Bashguard 2011: Race Face doesnt just push the technological envelope on this one, we send it straight to the shredder! Building on the incredible success of our proprietary Optimized Carbon Technology program, SIXC will wreak havoc in the 5-6 inch travel bike world. SIXC (the C is silent, eh!) represents the culmination of a massive Race Face engineering effort. Taking what weve learned on the elite XC race circuit, weve started painting in much broader strokes. Race Face has created a crank & bar for the all mountain rider who demands the ultimate in performance. SIXC is lighter than anything else in this category. Strong enough for light freeriding yet snappy enough to propel you past the lycra set, SIXC is the sign many epic riders have been waiting for. Hang on, a new era in all mountain performance composite parts is about to unfold! The arms are engineered & are manufactured in our British Columbia, Canada manufacturing facility. The crank arms are completely hollow with all unnecessary material being removed from the centre core. The composite arms have no internal aluminum spine. By removing the centre core in the post curing process, our engineers mold at high pressure levels resulting in optimal material compaction & an overall lower void structure. 3mm of chainline adjustability ensures the ability to achieve perfect drivetrain alignment even with difficult suspension frame designs & ideal for fine-tuning shifting chainguide set-ups. Only Race Face cranks offer this extremely useful feature. Pedal & spindle inserts are co-molded & mechanically locked into place. This proprietary bonding process guarantees that theyll never loosen or creak. Race Face chainrings are 100% CNC machined from super-hard 7075 aluminum to maximize wear resistance & impact strength. Proven OE assembly line friendly "EXI" spline interface ensures fast, simple installation & easy dealer serviceability using standard shop tools. SIXC features a specifically engineered, superlight, CNC machined Cr Mo BB spindle that is permanently moulded directly into the drive side crank arm to minimize weight & maximize power transfer. Offered in either a triple ring set-up or Double ring with our lightweight 7075 alloy bashguard. All alloy Torx 30 hardware keeps weight down & coolness high. Crank bolt puller cap makes crank removal a snap with just an 8mm hex wrench Bearings feature our new custom triple wiper seal to better retain grease & keep contaminants out. Bearings are factory filled with Phil Wood waterproof grease
