RACE FACE REDESIGNS THE TURBINE CRANK
Lighter, sleeker, still strong
First launched in 1993, Race Face’s Turbine crank was designed to hold up to North Shore riding without the weight penalty. The latest version is lighter and sleeker with a narrower Q-factor to match the feel of modern cranks. Its forged 7000-series aluminum arms are machined to shave weight and feature Race Face’s CINCH system for quick chainring swaps. They weigh 595g for the complete crankset (170mm Arms + 136 Spindle + 32t chainring). These cranks are backed by Race Face’s lifetime warranty and retail for $180.

Trust In Turbine
The next evolution of the venerable Turbine crank is here. Originally built in 1993 for a growing segment of North Shore riders who wanted a stiff and responsive crank without the weight penalty, the new Turbine honors that Shore legacy with the burly alloy workhorse you’ve come to know and love.
Based on rider and athlete feedback, we’ve narrowed the Q-Factor to match the feel of modern cranks. We also updated the preload collar to be incredibly user friendly, shaved over 20 grams, and gave it a sleek modern look while we were at it.
- Proven (and future-proof) CINCH System allows you to quickly switch out a different chainring for your next race or road trip.
- Forged from 7000-series aluminum for maximum strength then machined to shave every unnecessary gram of weight.
- An incredibly stiff and responsive ride with uncompromised durability.
- Backed by a Lifetime Warranty.
The best of Turbine remains the same. Low on flex and high on smash-ability, you can trust in Turbine to keep crankin’ the good times on this bike, the bike after that, and the bike after that.
