Red's aim is putting your power to the tarmac: Stiff, smooth, and strong, the SRAM Red Crankset is poised to dominate this season.

Like Sram's Force chainset, the Sram Red is an all-carbon crankset with an integrated BB spindle. It has carbon arms built on an aluminum spine, which in turn is attached to a carbon spider. The primary difference other than appearance is that Red's arms have a lower profile, leading to a lower Q-factor and added stiffness, this places the feet in a narrower more natural position, which in turn improves your pedalling action. The cranks are then finished off with SRAM's use of decals on the outside and the inside of the arms, which look simply stunning.

Sram didn't just stop at the cranks when creating this new chainset, they redesigned the profile of their PowerGlide chainrings to make them noticeably stiffer, this reduces loss of power through transmission flex. This lack of flex has another benefit though, it means smoother shifts up and down the rings.
Speed-sapping friction? The Red Crankset virtually eliminates it with new hybrid ceramic bearings housed within the GXP™ BB's case.

Ceramic bearings ride in a stainless steel race, are more efficient, use a lighter seal, and are lighter, stiffer, and longer-lasting than normal bearings.
The overall end result: a crank that's evolutionary in its design and revolutionary in its ability to put you at the front of the pack no matter which size you choose.

About Chainsets - Road

Road chainsets comprise of one, two or three chainrings and two crank arms, one on each side mounted at 180° to each other, they are connected to the bottom bracket axle and to the pedals. Bicycle cranks can vary in length to accommodate different sized riders. Major manufacturers typically offer crank lengths for adult riders from 165 mm to 180 mm long in 2.5 mm increments. It would seem evident that riders with shorter legs should use proportionally shorter cranks, while those with longer legs should use proportionally longer cranks. However, the exact length an individual cyclist feels most comfortable with may differ depending on the type of cycling they take part in. Bicycle riders typically prefer shorter cranks for fast cadence cycling such as criterium and track racing, while some riders typically prefer longer cranks for lower cadence cycling such as time trialling and mountain biking, where leverage is a priority.
