The Deus XC crank continues Race Face's legendary tradition for XC excellence in aluminum cranks. Featuring our signature I-Beam arm profiling & our smooth shifting, made in Canada 'Team' rings with patented Shift Technology, the Deus crank is an incredibly light & stiff performance crank-set. Designed specifically for cross country racing & riding, Deus continues to set the benchmark for performance cross country cranks. Arms are carefully engineered using ultra-high strength 7050 aluminum alloy to maximize strength to weight ratio. Fully forged for maximum fatigue resistance and then extensively CNC machined for that classic Race Face look. Aggressive I-Beam profiling minimizes weight while maintaining stiffness and strength. Team rings are 100% CNC machined in our British Columbia, Canada manufacturing facility from super-hard 7075 aluminum to maximize wear resistance & impact strength. All 2008 Race Face XC cranksets feature our new 'EXI' interface external bottom bracket system for easier crank installation and removal with standard tools and fully adjustable chainline. Features a super light, butted, forged and CNC machined CrMo EXI spindle. All alloy hardware keeps weight down and 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 - tested & proven to extend bearing life.
