Raceface brings back color

The Canadian component manufacturer Raceface is following the trend of bringing a limited number of colorful parts onto the market. Unlike many of its competitors, however, the fiery red "Deus XC ltd" crankset is in keeping with the company's best traditions.

Cranks are a tradition at Raceface, as is the use of color. Older bikers may remember the legendary Turbine crankset, which has been considered a prime example of colorful but durable bike parts since the mid-1990s. Raceface is now paying homage to this cult crankset with a special edition of the current Deus XC cross country model. With its red anodized crank arms, the crankset attracts a lot of attention and draws all eyes to the bottom bracket. It is logical for Raceface that the crankset is not only attractive in appearance. The forged crank arms made of 7075 aluminum were subsequently machined with a CNC milling machine so that the crank is stiff but not overweight.

The Swiss Raceface importer Chris Sports Systems offers a limited number of the "Deus XC ltd" in the national flag color. It is available from specialist dealers at the recommended retail price of CHF 549, including the in-house team chainrings and the X-Type bottom bracket.
