First Look: Race Face SIXC & Turbine crank with cinch system
The Cinch system used to be only available for the light and expensive Next SL crank. This will change next season, because Race Face has introduced the SIXC, as well as the Turbine crank with the new system at Eurobike 2014.
The Cinch System will be used with the Race Face Turbine, SIXC and Next SL crank from next season on.
A big advantage of the Race Face Cinch system is that all contemporary axe standards are covered with one crank. 26 tooth chain plates are available especially for 1×11 drive. While the light Next SL is made especially for cross country and marathon bikers, the Race Face SIXC crank is made for tougher use. The Turbine model is good on for a wide range of uses and can be bought at an attractive price.
The SIXC is advertised by Race Face as the lightest and stiffest downhill crank on the market.
The Race Face cranks make everything possible.
The bike can be turned into an individual object with the help of various colours.
The different colours can be also found with the handlebars, too. Race Face is using the 35mm clamping width citing lighter weight as well as higher stiffness as the main advantages.
The Stash BIB shorts are new in range.
While the Turbine Cinch crank is available for 199 EUR, the Next SL and the SIXC cranks are priced at 449,90 EUR each. The BIB shorts cost 119,90 EUR.
