Cane Creek has recently launched its new 'Electric Wings' cranks, which are designed specifically for use with electric mountain bikes, which often place much more strain on the cranks than traditional bikes. The innovative Electric Wings are 3D-printed from titanium, resulting in a product that is both incredibly durable and lightweight.
The Electric Wings cranks are as lightweight as a carbon crankset but as durable as an aluminum one, according to the company. The complete crankset with all hardware in the available 165mm length weighs 383g, which is more weight-efficient than most competitors on the market.
The Electric Wings cranks are an extension of the titanium eeWings crankset that Cane Creek released a couple of years ago. The Electric Wings cranks are available now at an MSRP of $1,299.99.
