The classics keep on coming from GT Bicycles. Let’s take a look at the new and improved Power Series Cranks!
If you have been riding BMX for a long time, there’s no doubt that you’re familiar with the Power Series Cranks from GT Bicycles. These cranks were a staple in history of BMX cranks. Fast forward to 2017 and GT have re-released two versions of the cranks; chromoly and alloy.
Up top you can find the chromoly Power Series cranks. These full 4130 chromoly cranks start out with tubular 175mm arms with sprocket bosses on both arms making them right and left side drive copatible. The arms are attached to a 19mm, 48-spline hollow chromoly spindle that allows you to easily run Spline Drive Sprockets if you prefer. Everything is held tightly together by flush mount bolts.
The Chromoly Power Series cranks are available in 175mm only, weigh in at 28.9 oz., chrome for the only color and a price tag of $129.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry GT Bicycles worldwide now.
The original Power Series cranks that started it all. These modernized cranks are made from forged 7050 aluminum with steel pedal inserts, sprocket bosses on both arms making them left and right side drive compatible and 175mm length. You can even find a laser etched logo to match the classics on each arm. The arms are attached to a 22mm, square spline, hollow chromoly spindle with 2 pinch bolts per arm and flush mount bolts to keep everything nice and tight.
The Alloy Power Series cranks are available in 175mm only, weigh in at 34.3 oz., chrome for the only color and also only cost $129.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry GT Bicycles worldwide now.
Both cranks will undoubtedly get the job done and will look great on your bike whether it’s a retro rebuild or the bike you’re putting a beating on day in and day out.

Let’s take a closer look at the new Madera Bantam Cranks….
Are you on the hunt for a new set of BMX Cranks? The crew at Madera have released their new Bantam Cranks that might just be what you’re looking for. These cranks are made right here in the U.S.A in the same place as Profile Racing. The Bantam cranks start out with heat-treated, oversized 4130 chromoly arms that are built to take a some heavy abuse from riding. The arms are connected to a 22mm, 48-spline, Gun Drilled Hollow chromoly axle with 8mm hex aluminum bolts to keep everything tight. Clean and simple design to make things easy.
These cranks have a sprocket boss on the right arm only. That means you can run a bolt-on or spline drive sprocket on the right hand side, but you can only run spline drive on the left side.
You can pick up the Bantam cranks from Madera in matte-black only with a 165mm and 170mm sizes and a weight of 30.04 oz.. These also come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY to the original purchaser, which is always a huge perk. You can pick these up through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Madera worldwide now for $167.99 now.
