Truvativ Holzfeller OCT 1.1 Crankset
If you want the strongest and stiffest cranks available, these are for you! While Truvativs Holzfeller line as been synonymous with strength and durability over the years, SRAM believed they could do better and decided to apply the Open Core Technology (OCT) to the DH-strong Holzfeller cranks to see what would happen. The result of using hollow crank arms is a stiffer interface, while reducing weight dramatically over the forged solid-arm versions. Combine with a Truvativ Howitzer bottom bracket for reliability out in the real world and you've got yourself a top-notch package that you will struggle to find fault with.
While many riders have been flocking to the lightweight forged Descendent cranks, there is something to be said for the sheer strength and stiffness of the Holzfeller OCT cranks that appeals to riders after a bulletproof setup that will last them seasons to come. If you have a habit of bending cranks or just generally destroying things, the OCT Holzfellers will suit you to a tee with their solid Howitzer BB interface, steel pedal inserts and stout construction. Using optimized AL-7050-TV Aluminum Alloy, the Holzfeller crank employs hollow crank arms instead of the usual solid forged arms, which not only drops weight over the standard Holzfeller crank but improves crank stiffness too. This is particularly important when you're hammering out of a 4X start gate or through the final corner on a downhill run. More stiffness = higher efficiency. So if you're looking to drop some weight from your DH bike, or just want a solid system with minimul fuss, look no further than the Holzfeller range.
From Truvativ:
"Our best 7050 alloy and OCT hollow forge technology combined in a best-in-class DH crank 75 grams lighter and 10% stiffer than our Holzfeller. This is the strongest and lightest extreme-use crank in the market. Period. Throw anything you want at it. Offered in Rock Guard doubles, DH single, and Bash Guard single ring models. Bash Guard meshes with our Box Guide for awesome chain management".
