Next cranks are one of the lightest, strongest 100% carbon fibre cranks ever made.
RaceFace has created a crank that goes beyond existing carbon material and process limitations, setting a new benchmark in performance cross-country components. Next combines over seven years of RaceFace composite technology with over fifteen years of crank development, producing a carbon crank with an unparalleled strength to weight ratio.
The arms are the result of over two years of intensive engineering and are manufactured in our British Columbia, Canada manufacturing facility.
RaceFace uses the same proprietary carbon material as the new Boeing Dreamliner. This aerospace composite material is available only in North America.
Your chainset must fit onto your bottom bracket! There are currently four chainset/bottom bracket interfaces that you're likely to come across. If your bottom bracket is made by Shimano and it has splines, then you need an Octalink chainset. If your b/b is NOT made by Shimano and it has splines, it's almost certainly ISIS. There are a very few non-Shimano chainsets with Shimano Octalink interfaces so, to be sure, count the splines - ISIS has 9, Octalink has (surprise, surprise) 8. No matter which brand of b/b you have, if it has a square interface, it will require a traditional square taper chainset. If you have one of the new Hollowtech II systems, you will need to choose the exact chainset that matches your bottom bracket. Most MTB chainsets are now 9-speed compatible but these will work with an 8-speed system.
In almost 15 years of doing business, Race Face has become a global leader in the design, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of high performance cycling components and apparel. A short drive from the famous North Shore mountains, Race Face designs and tests its line of high performance products to excel in the world’s most abusive riding environments. Race Face sponsors a team of internationally recognized athletes and is the creator and driving force behind the Ultimate Freeride Challenge. Race Face sponsors various mountain bike films and events such as the New World Disorder series of Freeride films and the Bike Magazine Monster Park Slopestyle Invitational. From their design engineers to the folks boxing product, Race Face employees share the same passion for cycling as you. They think it shows in the quality of their products.

These hollow carbon cranks are certainly stiff, and the arms emit a resonating sound when you change gear, which reminds everyone that you're running a very expensive pair of cranks!
Their performance can't be faulted, and the Phil Wood grease-injected bottom bracket is still running smoothly - although the usual wet British summer may end that.
For comparison, Shimano XTR cranks weigh 52g more but cost £69 less than these. It really depends on how much you want carbon fibre.
Carbon fibre cranks generally rely on internal aluminium spines for strength and rigidity, but RaceFace have dispensed with internal reinforcement here.
Instead, the arms are pressure-moulded and the core is then removed to save weight. With the sheer amount of pressure exerted on the material, RaceFace are able to produce a very stiff and strong crank. The pedal inserts are bonded in a way that guarantees they won't loosen or creak, they say.
The usual ultra high quality RaceFace chainrings are fitted as standard, complete with shifting ramps and pins that ensure decent shifting in all but the foulest of conditions.
Beautifully made carbon cranks with performance to match
Race Face claims its flagship Next cranks are the lightest strongest carbon cross-country cranks ever made. At 755g, they're certainly featherweights on the scales - so do they perform?
Let's start with how easy Race Face's new EXI system is to fit. Although most outboard bearing cranks are straightforward enough 9don't forget to face the bottom bracket shell), Next goes one step further by gene-splicing a conventional ISIS drive spline with an outboard bearing set-up.
Apart from the pedal inserts, the cranks are 100% carbon, with an oversized, hollow construction to maximise stiffness and trim weight down - an impressive 755g all-in. The carbon used was developed by boeing for its Dreamliner plane. Not that this is reflected in the price - the complete crankset with bottom bracket comes in at £369, a reasonable price in the world of mass-produced carbon cranks.
Shifting is excellent, ramping up and down faultlessly, and CNC machined aluminium chainrings(22/32/42) promise plenty of miles of wear-free riding.
If you want a superlight, stiff and easy to fit carbon crankset that will stand out from the crowd, without breaking the bank(relatively speaking) the Race Face Next XC will be ideal for you.
