In his first elite season, Asa Vermette won the World Cups in South Korea and Whistler. Now 5DEV is releasing the AV3 crank he used in those races: 165 millimeters long, milled from forged aluminum, and featuring knurled surfaces for added grip between the shoe and the crank.

On a mountain bike, the cranks are from Shimano or Sram, while e-mountain bikes are often fitted with no-name products. If you want to break out of this uniformity, Hope or Race Face are good alternatives. If you are looking for absolutely exotic cranks, you should take a look at the products from 5dev in Chicago.
