Rotor hopes to help riders get pumping with its new line of 3D Cranks, Q-Rings and other products this fall. At Interbike The company is also introducing several bottom brackets that can be used with standard cranks in any BB30 frame, as well as their own 3D cranks of course.
Among the interesting new products are the 3D Aero & Track cranks, specifically designed for time trial and track bikes. These feature a “closed spider” design, and are made with an ultra-light, yet aerodynamic reinforced structure. The idea is to provide increased overall stiffness compared to an open spider crank, so as to help riders keep it turning on the track or during a time trial.
Rotor is also introducing new its new 3D+ Crank, which is based on its popular 3D model, but updated with a 30mm axle. It should be compatible with almost all bikes, and it weighs in at just 470 grams. And the company is getting a handle on things with its S3X XC handlebar, which is meant to complement the recently launched S3X stem. This unidirectional HM carbon fiber bar features titanium chainmail reinforcement at the bar en and stem clamping zones to prevent and structural damage. It weighs just 120 grams.
