The introduction of shorter cranks, such as Race Face's new 160mm Era and Turbine, has gained traction in the mountain bike industry due to significant benefits for rider ergonomics.
Testing shows that shorter cranks enhance positioning, reduce pedal strikes, improve bike control during descents, and alleviate knee and hip pain thanks to a relaxed angle alignment.
Despite common assumptions that short cranks only suit smaller riders, the trend of 160mm and shorter cranks is increasingly recognized as beneficial for all riders.
Race Face's release of the 160mm carbon and alloy cranksets highlights the growing acceptance and adaptation of shorter crank lengths across both recreational and professional mountain biking.
