 RACEFACE DEUS XC CHAINSET
Featuring the NEW Turbine Chain Rings & Team BB
The Deus XC crank continues Race Face’s legendary tradition for XC excellence in aluminum cranks. Featuring Raceface's signature I-Beam arm profiling & there smooth shifting, made in Canada ‘Team’ rings with patented Shift Technology, the Deus crank is an incredibly light & stiff performance crank-set. Designed specifically for cross country racing & riding, Deus continues to set the benchmark for performance cross country cranks.
» Arms are carefully engineered using ultra-high strength 7050 aluminum alloy to maximize strength to weight ratio
» Fully forged for maximum fatigue resistance and then extensively CNC machined for that classic Race Face look
» Aggressive I-Beam profiling minimizes weight while maintaining stiffness and strength
» Featuring tge new 'EXI' interface external bottom bracket system for easier crank installation and removal with standard tools and fully adjustable chainline
» Features a super light, butted, forged and CNC machined CrMo EXI spindle
» All alloy hardware keeps weight down and coolness high. Crank bolt puller cap makes crank removal a snap with just an 8mm hex wrench
After 2 years of engineering work and rigorous testing, the all new Turbine rings are ready to ride. Completely redesigned from the ground up, these rings shift like nothing else. As with Raceface's previous Team and Race rings, the Turbine rings are made in Canada from 7075 aluminum, so they are built to last. Aside from their stunning good looks, these are the highlights:
» New asymmetrical tooth profiling and more upshift and downshift zones yield instantaneous smooth and quiet shifting, even under load
» 3 times stiffer than our previous Team chainrings without any weight gain. Net result is much sharper, quicker and more responsive shifts as well as increased resistance to impacts
» Machined in Canada with US made aluminum
Raceface's high end X-Type external bottom bracket has been totally redesigned and upgraded for 2010! Bearings, sealing and machining precision are all improved to create a smoother running, longer lasting BB set which is now fully serviceable!
The heart of the upgrade is Raceface's new high precision "CRY/OX" bearings. The magic of these bearings is in the races which undergo "deep cryogenic treatment". This is essentially "cold-treating" the races at temperatures below -300°F to refine the micro-structure of the steel. This process, also used on automotive transmission gears, brake rotors and cutting tools, improves wear resistance, lowers friction and extends bearing life.
Next we add a corrosion resistant Black Oxide coating to the races to resist the onset of corrosion should water enter the system (*usually caused by use of high-pressure water hose / pressure washer cleaning).
