Get a look at the new Legend Cranks from RNC!

Since RNC relaunched in 2020, we’ve seen a bunch of new products that have been on a whole different level. Their new Legend cranks are a prime example of that. Above is a video Brant Moore put together giving you an in-depth look at these new cranks that are made from a metal you aren’t seeing other brands use, and it’s damn light. Although these cranks are light, they will also lighten up your bank account with the $999 price tag. You can also check out more details on the RNC website.

“Coming in at right around 14 ounces depending upon config, the RNC Legend cranks are an insanely light new crankset. They are made from Maraging Steel 300 which is also used on some of wildest applications on the planet. There is so much to say about this metal alone, but just know that it is the real deal and I’m excited to try these cranks out. For now, this is my unboxing and first impressions. Stay tuned for the install and eventual update/review!

Here’s some news we definitely didn’t expect to see pop up online. RNC have made their return, and they’re coming through with a bunch of products, including this set of new Titanium cranks that look amazing. These cranks are machined out of a solid block of heat-treated 6AL-4V Titanium, which means there are no welds on the arms. There is extra machining to help shave some extra weight in places, but it’s overall a pretty clean an simple looking set of cranks. Based on the video from the testing down below, these things are STRONG. Below are more details as far as sizes available, colors, weight and more.

“One of the lightest and strongest cranksets ever made.

Crank arms are machined from a solid bar of 6al-4v titanium (No welds) and heat treated to make them unbelievably strong and stiff.

Heat treated titanium spindle is 35% stronger than normal 6al-4v titanium.

Flush mount bolts and sprocket bolt are titanium.

Right and left hand drive.

20.4 ounces arms,spindle,flush mount bolts and sprocket bolt in 175mm length and 22mm spindle.

Available in 160, 165, 170, 175, 180mm sizes. If you want custom size contact us we can make it for you for an upcharge.

These cranks are made for whatever abuse you can throw at them. There is no weight limit on them and no they don’t flex due to the triangle design. Look at the video below

the arms went under a 1750 lb load and didn’t even bend.” – RNC

One thing not mentioned in the text, and what most people know is that Titanium is expensive compared to chromoly products, so these cranks are pretty pricey. These new Titanium BMX cranks from RNC will set you back $420.00, but they will likely be the last pair of cranks you will ever run if they’re as strong as they appear to be.
